Rising sea levels must be why all the super rich keep buying sea side mansions.

roaring doesn’t necessarily mean rising.

Earthquakes and Tsunami’s come to mind.

I guess someone forgot to tell Bill Gates and Barack Obama?

Recently, Bill Gates purchased a beach front home in San Diego, and a couple years ago, Obama purchased a beach front home on Martha's Vineyard.

They have been rising for thousands of years. The rate has been reasonably constant as long as we have been measuring it.

Oh really... how much have they risen?

From the Article: "A new report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted by 2050, on the East Coast, there will 10-14 inches of sea level rise." Yuk, Yuk!

Not to worry. They know that the perpetually-stupid who are part of the cult will never figure it out. Al Gore is laughing all the way to the bank. Then, from his mansion to his jet plane to tell more people. Then back to the bank.

It’s a great scam.

We need to Red Tag ALL Property within 1 mile of the coast across the entire country, Raze all the buildings and Homes, bill the property owners for the demolition and BAN All people from getting within 500 feet of the dangerous rising sea.

I live in Central Pennsylvania. Bring it on. I can’t wait for my home to be an oceanfront property.

“the value of coastal properties has crashed”

That is why smart people like Barack Obama don’t put their $$ in oceanfront property. /s

I went to the beach and sure enough, Global Warming was causing the water to rise. I was paralyzed with fear. But even worse, Global Cooling caused the water to retreat. I stood on the open beach and was so angry at the inaction of the Republicans when to my absolute horror, Global Warming came back and I had to retreat.

What a farcical fraud. Obama made his “adjustment”. He bought a seafront home, and the other elites are eager to follow his example.

OK but what's different? What will make the sea AND waves roar then more then now? I think a rising sea.

(And it's not spoken like a one-time event like a tsunami, but a continuous circumstance during that period of time.)

This means that there are some real bargains to be had on Hudson Bay. The Intuit there are selling soon to become beachfront property there for mere dollars an acre. Plant a few palm trees, and you can become a billionaire. Freep me for the details. My commission is small. the white bears there are usually quite friendly, if they’re not hungry.

Maybe that’s the point, make people panic and move away so they can sell to the rich for pennies on the dollar.

Sea level rise began long before, and without, the human industrial revolution, and will go on as the long term remit from the last ice age continues, which is what it is really all about.
