As rising sea level chomps at Cape Canaveral, NASA uses nature-friendly solution (Bull*** alert)

Along Florida's most famous slice of waterfront, the water is taking a bigger and bigger bite. As the level of the Atlantic Ocean has pushed higher, it has begun gobbling up the shoreline along Cape Canaveral.

A railroad that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration built along the beach in the 1960s began being routinely covered by waves during storms. Meanwhile, dunes were leveled that once protected Kennedy Space Center, no matter how high the tide.

Scientists from the University of Florida and the U.S. Geological Survey began studying the problem in 2009, finding that what was going on could not be explained by typical Florida beach erosion. This was climate change at work, with a warmer ocean expanding beyond its old bounds.

Obama's NASA continues to discredit itself with this Leftist crap. Actually, the sea level has arguably risen one-half of one inch since 1945 -- the last 70 years.

Is the Pope watching?

What in God’s name does this have to do with Muslim self esteem?

[Secret Agent Man]

It’s not rising sea levels. It’s normal erosion of tides. Jeezers real science is abandoned.

Nothing. Perhaps things have turned the corner at NASA.

I guess they have never heard of building rock jetties..............

The warmists have gone into "Dan Rather Mode", they will print anything that they believe, valid or not.

False but accurate is morphing into false, but acceptable.

LOL Per NOAA the trend in that area of the coast is 2.3mm/year or 0-1 foot PER CENTURY.
They need to let NASA know so they can cancel the Ark.

[Red Badger]

Well, they used SAND. Muslims have a lot of sand.....................

[Don Corleone]

Is the water rising or is the land subsiding?

[oldtech]

Sounds like they need to eliminate some of those scientists & either get a new bunch or maybe just hire some folks with a lesser title & a lot more common sense.

How dare anything natural not stay the same FOREVER!

It’s built on and surrounded by Swampland. If you don’t maintain the dikes and drainage blocks, you’re going to lose ground.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

They need to let NASA know so they can cancel the Ark.

Amazing. An article about sea level rise in the area that somehow manages to avoid discussion of how much the sea has risen.

[Disambiguator]

I’ve always asserted that any civilization that can’t cope with a sea level rise of 30 inches over 100 years doesn’t deserve to survive. Not that it’s really happening, but you get the point.

[Dutch Boy]

Or that the sea ice is growing rather than melting. I guess they will never let facts get in the way of the narrative.

All Florida is one giant sinkhole.

[molson209]

Florida is a giant Antacid tablet ,melt in you mouth kind , LOL
