97% of all climate scientist believe that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself.
Good question. Natural erosion is always moving sand/mud downstream into the oceans. This might be offset by the amount of rock and volcanic material from the movement of tectonic plates and volcanoes but I'm guessing that erosion wins out overall.
If these projections are not reached the government should fine each of these experts a million dollars for fear mongering.
Come on...there are plenty of holes in the earth to be filled.
We have lived on an Intracoastal waterway in St. Petersburg Beach for 25 years; right next to a bridge over that waterway. We are 2 clicks from the Gulf of Mexico. Every fishing boat from the Boca Ciega basin area comes under that twice bridge every day. Some of these boats only clear the bridge by 6-8”. We have never heard a captain, and we know many, ever talk about rising sea levels or worry about clearing the bridge.
We have a ladder that hangs from our dock into the waterway...the markings on the ladder haven’t changed in 25 years...not a 1/4”!
My wife and I follow the weather closely because we need rain to water our pasture grass for the cows to eat.
These people are wrong 60-70% of the time about the projected rainfall. And we're supposed to take them seriously about projections 300 years into the future?
I remember as a kid living in Cheyenne WY when I was in 7th grade when my dad was stationed there in the Air Force.
The nightly news weather guy said we were going to have "sunny and warmer" conditions the next day.
The next day there was a blizzard that dropped 13" of snow with howling winds on us. That evening, the same weather guy embarrassingly admitted there was 13" of that "sunny and warmer" on the ground.
My parents used to say the weather forecasters were the only people who can be wrong 100% of the time and still keep their jobs.
So much for predictions.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling .......
Somebody please explain the flaw with the following argument.
Adult human bodies are 50-65% water. Given human population is increasing exponentially, more and more of earth’s water is being stored in humans.
So why are politically correct global warming alarmists saying that sea levels are rising when they arguably should be falling, or at least rising slower and slower until enough humans to make sea level start falling?
Misguided global warming alarmist should at least be encouraging human population to grow so that Al Gore’s ocean-view mansion doesn’t get flooded. /sarc
If your feet are getting wet, walk uphill.
Problem solved.
Exactly.
SO WHAT?
There is NOTHING, I say N O T H I N G that we puny humans can do about it anyway.
Don’t worry, be HAPPY!
One of my cousins is moving to Florida. They were looking for a house and her husband was freaking out because everything is in 50ftabove sea level. He is afraid they might get flooded. I asked if he was talking about a hurricane. He said he was worried about sea levels rising.
I laughed and told him the Cat 6 hurricanes would wipe him out long before the sea rose up to drown him.
But he is from VT, so it should be expected.
Thank you! May I quote you?
Is the sea level rising or are continents rising and falling as part of the natural mechanics of the Earth?
Most likely the latter. While enviro-nuts will blame the mass of melting sea ice for the ocean floor sinking and declare sea level is rising faster than they first believed, mass distribution is more complicated than just ice. The earth has gained about 5% more land then existed during the Cretaceous era when the sea level was 50m higher. And there’s nothing man can do about the Earth transiting completely different regions of space every single day. Points the Earth hasn’t been back to in the 250 million year Galactic Year of the Sun. (The last extinction event, when the sea surface temp was 104F, was about one GY ago. Modern humans have existed about 200 thousand years). Nor can we complain that by the end of the next Galactic Year, continents are predicted to fuse, in 4 Galactic Years, there may be no more total eclipses and CO2 is predicted to fall to levels that cannot support plant life, and in 15 GYs, the Earth will look like Venus. IF we don’t hit any galactic dust clouds or radiation clouds or asteroid clusters or other rogue objects along the journey around the galaxy.
This whole extinction/woe to man stuff being stirred up probably has its basis in the extinction event 1 GY year ago, expecting it to reoccur in our lifetimes. Maybe we are entering a ‘danger zone’ in our galactic journey or maybe this time we miss it. But in reality, the only way to control the climate, is to stop Earth in it’s place in space and orbit. But if we could somehow do that, we’d have about 60 days before we fall into the Sun.
So why worry? Party like it’s 1999 and drill, baby drill!

Yep - in 300 years, I’m gonna check my current mark and see if the ocean has risen that much in my area....
They have learned that when the make shorter term declarations, it’s far easier to disprove their claims....
And we know that wave action can alter a shoreline. Not a damn thing to do with climate change.
We dredge in my area. In areas of Va, I believe they do the opposite.
So much cr**. Bottom line....MONEY
