Does this mean that these cities will tip over and sink into the ocean?
Good news. The article says it is now too late and any further attempts to cut carbon emissions will be useless.
So we are now agreed that crippling the economy by giving up energy production is pointless.
DC disappear under the waves ?
Do I have time to set up a beer and popcorn concession, bleachers, and luxury boxes on the Virginia side ???
Who knew...?
(News from the future) “On the plus side, having become a popular tourist destination for scuba divers, for the first time in US history, Washington, D.C. has positively contributed to the economy.”
When the first island in the chain of glorified sandbars known as the Outer Banks of North Carolina remains submerged for any length of time, I’ll begin to reconsider my disbelief. Ocean to sound overwash is common during hurricanes and even strong nor’easters. Always has been. The only thing that’s ever held them in place long enough for human habitation to develop into fishing villages and resort towns has been juniper, live oak and yaupon trees. Other than high dune fields, none of them are more than a few feet above sea level.
Last I checked they’re still there, with beach cottages built as far back as a hundred years ago still intact. Is there beach erosion? Sure. Always has been. Those islands move. One end erodes, the other end expands from sedimentation. Are new inlets cut during storms? Sure. And they have been through recorded history. Old ones fill in, new ones form.
According to the climate change propagandists, it’s all supposed to stay the same, with any change being viewed as a Threat To Humanity that only they can fix at the federal level. It’s all politics, having nothing to do with anything other than increased governmental control over private property. They want to seize oceanfront lands. For our safety, of course.
“Such floods, the study said, are now five to 10 times more likely today than they were just 50 years ago.”
Ahh, not happening, just “more likely.”
T’m LOL so har my sidea hurt.
...and in totally unrelated news ... “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.”
I’m holding my breath waiting for the price of ocean-front property to drop.
My backyard ends at a salt water stream. There’s a natural ebb and flow to the water - but other than major storms it’s at the same level it’s been for decades.
