Liberals are retarded.
Why do people keep buying beachfront houses there?
Oh, horse [censored]!
Dropped this little nugget in a discussion at work on climate change.
Mic drop.
when bammy sells his beachfront property in hawaii we can talk.
Go figure. I didn’t know water could do that.
They explained the rising levels in the Gulf region in the comments.
The Gulf of Mexico waters are warmer.
I kid you not.
{yawn} 🥱
The way they pretend oceans can rise at one point on the globe without rising on all other interconnected points is bizarre. If the sea was rising in New Orleans, the same sea would certainly be rising here in NJ. You can’t fill one end of a bathtub without the water rising throughout.
There is considerable beach erosion in some areas because rivers have been dammed for flood control, reservoirs, and siphoned off for use by cities and for agriculture. The rivers no longer spew sand and sediment when they empty into the sea to be carried by longshore currents and deposited on the beaches as they once did. Instead, the longshore currents scour the beaches of sand once deposited there, with precious little to replace e it.
Dredging of shipping lanes adds to beach erosion. In addition, the removal of dunes, sea oats, etc. took away the “natural defenses” of beaches against storms, etc. The problem is manmade, but it isn’t global warming.
Right - absurd! When one of my children raised the point about seas rising somewhere around the world, I asked them how much they rose near us - because we are near a river connected to the ocean (with salt water at high tide). Of course, the answer is 0 - not one or two inches over the past decades, but 0.
bttt
It wasn’t so long ago that ‘scientists’ couldn’t explain why sea level rise was occurring at an accelerated rate on the northern East Coast of the US.
They later begrudgingly revealed that the sea wasn’t rising faster there, but that the land was sinking (the geologists were right, the climate scientists WRONG).
So, then: If groundwater depletion causes areas of Florida to sink inland...gee, I wonder what might happen near the coastline, in FL or any other coastal state using groundwater for agriculture and/or industry.

One third of people don’t believe it, one third do believe it, and one third are in on the con.
And yet Obamas bought a house in Martha’s Vineyard. Complete BS article. Same crap they continue to peddle for Global Warming err I mean Climate Change....
When was in middle school all I heard was the ice age was coming and the planet would be gone when I graduated college. Total BS and then some. And kept hearing it since then.
About 20 years ago I started to read a bunch of geology.
Found out the Sahara desert had river beds, the Mediterranean Sea had pretty much dried up, the Great Lakes were formed by giant glaziers, the British Isle were connected to Europe, Japan to China, EurAsia to N. America (The Native Americans didn’t swim here!) and CO2 was huge during the time of the dinosaur. Ferns were as tall as they were! (That’s when the planet was really green!!)
And recently a prehistoric shark fossil was found in the Peruvian desert.
We’ve had 50+ years of total BS and then some.
Lies, damn lies, and GloBull warming.
Its spring, why is everyone getting worked up? When all the snow birds get out of the ocean and go home then the water levels will go back down.
Does that mean we're tipping over?

The equatorial bulge?
