groundwater pumping

A new front opens in the war against living in First World comfort.

I've been seeing that phrase a lot lately.

Rust, and GreenTards, never sleep.

the island, which averages a couple feet above sea level, could see bay waters rise

Any documented rise in the last 10 years?

20 years?

50 years?

Islands in the Cheasapeake Bay come and go. It isn't global warming. It's an estuary, and islands are built of alluvium. Currents shift causing sand banks to shift causing currents to shift causing....

It's a cycle of nature.

“Sweet said Smith Island’s situation is worse because it is sinking, a process caused by land settling after the last ice age, groundwater pumping and the compaction of earth stirred up by an ancient meteor strike.”

That doesn’t sound like climate change.

”Smith Island is sinking because of the compaction of earth stirred up by an ancient meteor strike.”

There’s greater probability a new meteor strike would wipe out Smith Island than climate change. We need a new trillion dollar program to end the threat of meteor strikes.

Inner Party members are Double-Think experts.

It pays off when they can frighten outer party members out of spaces that they want for themselves.

That’s a bonus extra that Orwell didn’t go into. Soviet bigwigs had their Dachas, so it’s not like he didn’t know the game.

--- "Environmentalists see a dangerous kind of denialism."

Obama's homes are ocean front properties in several states. Must be "denialism."

“More homes have sold on Smith Island in the last three years than in the previous 11 combined”

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Gee, what happened about 3 years ago that might drive these increased sales?

Oh yeah, a phenomenally corrupt administration in DC stole the election and now dirty, dirty money is flowing to all the corrupt politicians, bureaucrats, lobbyists, and attorneys in the region.

And where does a lot of that massive pipeline of dirty money end up? Waterfront property! Ding ding ding!

This whole midAtlantic region is sinking due to subsidence and tectonic rebound. Nothing at all to do with climate. But don’t tell the idiot boys and girls at WAPO about this, they might get pouty and grumpy.

IOW, people aren’t buying the BS.

Listen. It worked out just fine for NOLA, built BELOW sea level.

Oh. Wait... *SMIRK*

I live in the middle of nowhere and my ‘city’ friends and family are CONVINCED I’m going to be eaten by a bear, a wolf or a coyote. Truth is, I’m most likely to lose my life to a dairy cow, LOL!

There are risks wherever you live. Funny. None of them seems concerned about the perils and ‘ferals’ THEY face in the city!

I’ve been to Smith Island quite a few times over the years.
The island has been getting smaller since it was originally settled in the 1600’s.
Sort of a depressing place- there are piles of junk all over - because of the difficulty and expense of removing it.
Children take a boat to school in Crisfield.
Good place to eat crabs - especially soft crabs.

Seriously?

I guess they never heard of glacial isostatic rebound.

<< They say Smith Island’s long-term survival is doubtful. >>

True enough. The Sun’s red giant stage should be upon us in a few billion years.

“more Americans are moving into climate danger zones”

Apparently they have not been successfully brainwashed into the Cargo Cult of “climate change”.

The mainstream media needs to double down!

;-)
