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.

Oh, pshaw. Don’t let facts get in the way of a good ideological struggle for power!

Yes. I remember back in the 80s, before Global Warming was a hot topic (fear of a coming Ice Age was still sort of a thing). At that time, there was a lot of talk of “beach erosion”. And that is actually a real topic. Winds and waves do eat at the shoreline. The coast changes. Always has. Always will. Erosion is not a myth. But, today, people see erosion, and islands in estuaries coming and going and they just say, “We must deindustrialize. All of this climate change is out fault.” I find it unbearably stupid.
