"For twenty years I watched an island disappear and lost my house." And you attribute this to rising sea levels? I suspect the real cause you lost your island and house (sorry for that) was erosion caused by tidal ebb and flow and storm waves. We see that all the time in the Chesapeake Bay. TC

You’re right Pentagon. I live 12 feet above sea level - my backyard ends at a tidal salt water stream... if there was any great difference over the many years I’ve lived here I would have noticed. The guy’s a liberal - he just makes the stuff up to fit his hysteria.

Grog Island on the Chesapeake Bay vanished in my lifetime, not because of sea level rise, but of the loss of sea grass. The northeast side of the island used to have acres of underwater sea grass in the shallow waters on the most exposed side of the island. The grass calmed the waves and prevented erosion. The grass died out and within ten years the island was gone.

I have been coming to Deltaville for 50 years and the Bay waters at high and low tide are exactly where they have been since 1966 on the docks and sea walls that have been there since that time.
