Charleston, South Carolina
Regarding future coastal flooding, the South Carolina peach of Charleston is a pretty risky city to live in. A report found a 34% risk of at least one flood over 5ft between now and 2050 in Charleston County.
This leaves the beautiful historic city’s structures and homes helpless against damage and destruction, particularly in low-lying areas. In fact, storm surges along Charleston Harbor are likely to become more commonplace and severe.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
There’s a reason the Netherlands is called the Low Countries. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Hague sit low, flat, and close to the North Sea. The Dutch are well-known for their flood defenses, and looking at these sea-level projections.
But it seems the country’s system of dams, levees, barriers, and floodgates will become even more crucial in the years to come.
London, United Kingdom
Global warming has put London at risk of sinking, along with some other major cities, as rising sea levels mean more future coastal flooding along the Thames estuary, according to Climate Central.
Without radical coastal reinforcement strategies, the rise would be seen underwater in large parts of the capital.
Particularly helpless areas lie along the River Thames, the setting for some of the capital’s most essential structures, like the Tower of London and the Houses of Parliament. And even cultural spaces will be affected, such as the Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe.

Amazing that many do not see climate change as what it tells is, nature changing. But that explanation does not allow for taxing and controlling freedoms, which is what the globalists and democrats really want! The positive side to it is that many of today’s youth who are guillible enough to support it will eventually end up working for the collective and realizing reality sucks!
Give me a minute to stop laughing so I can comment…geee zuss…
Exactly. Remember our lifespans are short compared to the age of our planet and it has gone through several climate changes.
The Earth has gone through over 12 ice age and warming temperature cycles, but all the natural cycles are over 110,000 years long. The current heating cycle is only 50 years long, but has exceeded the natural cycle temperatures.
Of course, according to current understanding, the planet has gone through amazing climate changes over the course of billions of years for various reasons. That in no way rules out the possibility that currently one of the reasons is what humans are doing. I don’t know whether that’s true or false, but the fact that the Earth has undergone many changes on its own doesn’t rule out that currently. Currently humans are a major cause of the change. Hope I don’t disturb you with a little bit of logic.
you definitely have a good point!!!!
Yes but this one is coming Sooner and can possibly be slowed, averted by common sense actions by Human response
So what? Many of these predictions are going to occur Within our lifetimes at this point and are changing very quickly. Your point is not taken.
We don’t know how our lives and the lives of our children will be effected. We don’t know how long it will be before we really need to worry. But those who just shrug their shoulders and act as if this whole prognosis is made-up, will be the most surprised and unprepared. And possibly our loved ones will suffer needlessly, because we didn’t really take it seriously.
Spoken correctly
The whole “global warming/climate change” scare is just that. It’s all BS. It’s to scare the population into restrictions. It’s nothing more than a leftist hoax. If the polar ice caps were to all melt We would all been dead years before. The earth temperature would have to rise by at least 60° which can never happen.
What does nature changing mean to you? Maybe you should consider, if science who has increased human length of life, has a reason and maybe mankind can avoid the outcome. Ardvark seems to be an appropriate handle for you. Reality does suck and pretending you have the answer is a terrible gamble. You are gambling with the future mankind. Doesn’t that sound like a bad bet over your opinion. I find it comical that science has become political.
Right on the nose.
Earth’s climate has NEVER been stagnant. The idea that all these cities will be “under water” due to climate change is just foolishness.
Your politics is showing. Over 9 billion humans wiping out every species, destroying out water sources, cutting down trees to build houses & strip malls. That’s what is “unnaturally” causing climate changes.
nature is changing and that is natural. However, it is currently changing too much, too fast, and we need to keep up. Climate change will affect growing food, housing, and many other things that we could plan and prepare for. it will be a disaster if we do nothing.
Natural temperature cycles of ice ages and warming are about 110,000 years long. We have artificially accelerated the warming on top of the warmest natural temperature, in less than 50 years.
really,
what freedoms are you losing?
It really amazes me how people think democrats want to take your rights away, when republicans are literally taking people’s rights away as fast as they can. Which ones? Reproductive rights, voting rights, and hmm, maybe the right to a democracy! Presidential immunity, anyone? How is banning books and whitewashing history not taking our rights away?
And news flash, this is the only earth we’ve got, so we might want to take care of it.
Sounds like this article was written by Al Gore. He, too, said that the polar ice caps will be gone by 2013/14 and we know that he wasn’t even close to the truth. Maybe thats why most people approach any article like this with some sort of skepticism.
There has to be a limit to “freedoms,” even in a Democracy. What you refer to as “freedoms” is more likely motivated by hatred of authority. Moreover, “nature changing” is a result of peoples’ and corporations’ total disregard for our planet. We are seeing unprecedented speed in the destruction of our only home. Go pick up plastic on the beach or something else useful today.
Changing partly due by our mishandling of the climate . Our society is evolving due to nature and climate change.
Also, look up the term cognitive bias and maybe some science.
The stupidity of people who think climate change is natural is beyond description.
You are right Man can not control the weather no matter what he thinks And if History was really taught in school they would know this I remember reading in the late 50s about a mammoth are some animal was found frozen and the grass it was eating was still green and i dont think many ppl where around when that happened
I don’t care about your biased OPINION.
Nature has always been changing since the beginning of time. To think man can control this. Only God is on control of the universe. Repent and he will heal our land.
It ‘s not climate change. I worked in DC I have many friends with the government. The earth goes in cycles all the time, nothing can change it.
Democrats, eh? Funny, that the Dems think it’s the GOP that wants to control us. The conservative Republican party who wants to take us back a few decades to the 1950’s. The truth is we’ll all have to work together, whether we like it or not.
Amazing that Ardvark cannot understand the preponderance of scientific literature that supports the idea that global warming is exacerbated by human actions. That same scientific review refutes the notion that this warming is simply “nature changing”.
Individual freedom does not supersede the needs of the many. That way lies anarchy.
Trump denied global warming as a threat during his first term. Biden acknowledged it and has worked with world leaders about it. It will be interesting to see what Trump does this time around. Don’t say “the democrats “ didn’t do anything about it. This is a World issue and everyone needs to work together to fix it. It is NOT a political issue
You are an idiot
you’re as stupid as it gets….see you local psychiatrist for your nasty case of paranoia
The fact that nature changes by its own cycles is not in question, the issue with the whole “climate change” debate is whether human activity, namely atmospheric and water pollution affects the larger natural climatic cycles in any way. As a non-scientist citizen, I do know that through my own experience, the atmosphere we all breath and the water we all drink and survive from around the world is being constantly polluted…
Nature is changing bc of us. And we need to unite and fight it. If you don’t do it, catastrophe will happen. So much for your freedoms. You are the gullible one for denying it.
You hit the nail right on the head.
Thank you for speaking the truth !
Huh? If you want to make a point, you have to ante up with a small indication that you know something that is true.
More than just Louisiana coastal areas, think about Port Arthur, Galveston, and possibly Corpus Christi. The Gulf is coming!
this is all BS, all hypothetical
Suggest you read up on Sun spots
Suggest you check out sunspots and the 11 year solar cycle. No Climate change just a solar cycle and we are at the end of it.
the water is NOT rising, the land is eroding away. Was IT because we dug “intercoastal canals” allowing the sediment to wash away? The communist have been lying for years. Algore has become rich off of FEAR MONGERING. GOD will purge His planet of the amoral, AGAIN. just like last time…. (flood)
I do Notice a complete disregard of the phenomenon of “Subsidence”, being land settling due to ground water pumping caused by man needing a drink.
And I also Notice a complete disregard of the phenomenon of “Erosion”, being the washing away of the beaches and coastlines due to Entirely NATURAL action of waves washing away sand and soil.
But then again this being one of those “Alarmist” articles on Anthroprogenic climate change and only mentioning Subsidence in regard to “Skyscrapers” , I guess it should have been expected.
But I also Remember from high school a photograph of an Old Buick Car ( new at the time of the photo ) with a guy leaning on the fender, And pointing out the telephone poles in the background and stating that the Tops of the poles (30-40′ above the Car ) were at the original ground level, And The Surface had Settled due to groundwater Pumping for Crop Irrigation of the Napa and San Joaquin valleys, and population Growth in the area is ONLY going to make Subsidence worse.
Manhattan is not sinking due to the weight of its skyscrapers! They weigh less than that of the soil and schist removed to site them.
No one pumps out ground water near the coast because it would be brackish. Erosion does not decrease beaches, but adds more sand.
More alarmist bs
Also look up solar cycles and sun spots since we are at the end of an 11 year solar cycle. The oceans hold 93% of all greenhouse Gases and that leaves 7% for the rest of the world. By the way as the oceans heat up (as in this 11 year cycle that we are at the end of) they release CO2 and when they COOL THEY ABSORB CO2.
you are right … natural change .. those cities are not going away… at least not here in the U.S.
Don’t worry the Obamas own houses on two coast.
Miami, Fl.?
are ?they” still fishing on Main Street in Miami? or has the “surge” dissipated?
All climate based models are lies don’t fall in the liars the sea has not risen 1000 of a inch in hundred years
Only belive international science nit the fake liars
Agreed and lived there for 10 years
Manmade Climate change is a fraud.
Just another way for the global elites to control people for world domination by controling fuel,food,funds and mobility of everyone by the NWO.
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard about climate change…….. IDIOCRACY is a documentary
Amen! You got it right, bro!
Climate change is not a fraudulent issue! Thousands of scientists, scholars and highly educated professionals have proved that we humans and our wastefulness have caused it.
I’m really sorry, but we winter in Florida and what we see is not conjured up in anybody’s brain. It’s an actual.
True !
Your a fool. I saw Alaska icebergs gone now but were there 10 yrs ago.
Like you know. You don’t.
It’s gone through several mass extinctions too. If we don’t change our ways we will be the victims of the next one.
I think u will not be saying the same things 10-20 years from now.. my voiding had a beach house. She had to sell and move to a high rise inland.. her house was flooded every time with the ocean water
All of Florida.
I wish I could believe you…..
You are right…it’s all a scam. Climate change is cyclical…
Such incredible BS. 90 percent of scientists warn of manmade climate change. You have been duped by Trumpie.
You wanna bet?
Thank you for your thoroughly researched opinion based on science and facts.
I’ve watched the Atlantic Ocean from the beach every day for the last 30 years.
The tides rise and fall twice a day.
The tides are very noticeable.
Every wave, large or small, washes up the sand.
The waves are very noticeable.
Whatever few millimeters the ocean level may have risen is dwarfed by the tides and waves is not noticeable.
Will many coastal land areas be completely inundated by the end of the century?
NOT SO’S YOU’D NOTICE!
Amen!
Warming has only raised oceans by 2.5″ so far, but eventually all the rest of the glaciers will melt, like the ones hundreds of miles thick on Greenland and Antartica, and that will raise oceans by over 200′.
We heard that all of thiswas going to happen yesterday 2013 and it didn’t. It’s just your was of scaring us. It’s bullshit!
Think of this. 1000s years ago the earth was covered in ice and then it all went away. Oh and by the was the automobile hadn’t even been invented yet.
You are totally correct!
Lol. Yes, there are tides. But, um, the HIGH tide level will rise with a sea level increase, not just the LOW tide level. Your observation makes zero sense in this context. SMH.
All of this is certainly worthy being aware of.
Recently, I saw a science program explaining that a big cause of the deminishig ozone is caused by space travel.
Everytime any rocket is sent into space, it pokes a hole in our ozone; which allows unfiltered sun to warm our earth.
I believe that our Government wants everyone to believe that it’s all caused by our greedy use of natural resources as being the culprit of the damage.
Could it be that this fact is conveniently omitted or over looked?
Whoever thought that our our own Government would deliberately want to mislead us? Controll, possibly?
What Miami did not make this list? It will be the first to go!!
Only if we’re lucky. You’re all morons and I hope that your ignorance and nonchalance about the whole subject serve you well into whatever future your selfish stubborn pig headedness ushers in. Please move to one of those 28 cities.
does anyone remember geography class? land mass changes through time have happened, and won’t stop happening. the planet is getting older just like people, it changes. there is noting anyone can do to stop it. we have to improvise adapt and adjust how and where we live. that is all folks. don’t listen to the radical jerks who tell us that stopping the use of fossel fuels will make a difference………it won;t.
Global Warming is under the control of the One who made the world and the weather. If cities sink, that’s His business, as well. I can garantee you He knows what He is doing!
I was always afraid that Hoboken , NJ might be in the list. Years ago someone said it was about 13 feet below sea level.
what utter bullshit.
Yes it’s already been prophesied that New York will be under water, a tusamni will hit it.
Comical!
So answer me this? Why are insurance companies still selling insurance and banks still offering mortgages?
This is pure nonsense!
Total bullshit. Al Gore put out the same leftist crap several decades ago that we would be under water already.
based on what “FACTS” do you make these ASSUMPTIONS ? this is the type of stuff people unsubscribe for
Is this from the same sky is falling group that predicted the same thing happening in the late 70’s and early 80’s? I mean I didn’t move to Florida earlier than I did because of that foolish prediction, What was even worse was at that time I was gullible enough to believe the Bull Spit! Still high and dry in Florida though. Yeah I can’t believe that Miami and the Keys didn’t make that crap shoot list.
Just another liberal political stunt to get more taxpayer funding for one of their ramped up quests. Then that money will be directed to whatever they want. Notice how it used to be called global warming and then there was that huge ice storm that crippled the state of Texas and much of the country… Now they only call it “climate change”. They want to control you and want to see how far they can push you. Just like they want to get rid of currency and go all electronic currency. They will know everything about you, everything that you spend, and they can shut you down at will.
I would have really liked some more pictures to relate to the dire circumstances to all of these areas as well as others. Visuals work. Good reading though. Have a nice day!
New York City being under water. I can live with that.
I’m thinking Miami, the Florida Keys and parts of Long Island N.Y. were skipped over.
Only if we’re lucky. You’re all morons and I hope that your ignorance and nonchalance about the whole subject serve you well into whatever future your selfish stubborn pig headedness ushers in. Please move to one of those 28 cities.
What about all my cities on the california coast…like san fran and los angeles
All of this “global warming” fear mongering is ludicrous. Look back through history…many cycles of warming and freezing have happened. Also, this country, the US, is being singled out as being a major cause happens to be one of the “cleaner” countries on earth. Wake up people…there hasn’t been a single prediction come true. The Earth is going to do what the heck it’s going to do. Should we endeavor to keep our air and water clean? Of course, but predicting the end of the world for natural cycles is only fear mongering and ways to tax the blood out of the uninformed masses.
The Planet Earth is everchanging – Once dinosaurs roamed the Earth emitting gases, living, dying, producing coal, oil, gas. Centuries and quadruple centuries evolved as the Earth saw rivers turn to deserts, oceans evolve and recede. E-v- e- n- t- u- a- l- l- y, an asteroid hit Planet Earth – it may happen again – killing most inhabitants of the land. After that, many different civilizations called it home, building cities, and many wonders. Some of them still exist in one form or another to this day. Life is short for the inhabitants now. Five thousand years from today, no one will remember New York City. Perhaps a diver will discover some forgotten towns under a new sea…if they have time to visit Planet Earth on vacation.
Take care of your history and the beauty that surrounds you. Thank God for this chance to atone for any past mistakes and become the best you can be.
Climate control people do not understand who created this world and who is in charge of its surviving.
Climate change is inevitable! Our planet is constantly rotating and it is doing so in two directions, around (day/night) and North to South. Our contributions are actually helping but NOT as seriosly as the fruit cakes are clamoring about. This is not the first time this has happened. Check out the plant life found in core samples in the Arctic.
Predictions from flawed climate models for 76 years in the future are not “mind bending facts”!
Damned ignorant lie. It takes .5″ to .6″ of water to create 1″ of ice.
Read up on how the Black hole in the gulf was created.
It starts with
It was a time of global warming, the waters receded, there was acid rain.
Global warming and water receding !
Wake up Democrat
Horse Hockey!
Man made climate change is a Leftist Fraud perpetrated by rich elites who will profit from the hysteria.
What 8 cities?
The whole state of Florida is at risk
Mother Nature always wins.
At one point in history, there was no ice at either poles. Musta been hella hot then. At one point in history, the central North American continent was covered in three mile thick ice. Musta been hella cold then. Somehow, I think, it musta been all those dinosaurs with there 200 foot SUVs pumping out carbon emissions that kept causing ‘climate change’. I’m glad they’re extinct. Now if we can just get rid of enough humans, the earth’s thermostat can be set for eternity and everybody will be happy.
Good grief. This is 100% fiction, folks. Use your heads. We have photos of coastal areas around New York from long ago. The baseline sea level hasn’t changed.
Not. One. Bit.
Get over the hysteria, ignore these fear-mongers, and live your life.
Most people don’t realize that at the end of the last ice age , 12,000 years ago, the ocean rose by 400 feet. Change is normal . It just happens at a geologic pace. Inter glacial periods like we are in now, only last 10 to 30 thousand years. after 12,000 years, guess whats coming. And , by the way, glacial periods last up to 100, 000 years , enjoy !
I can’t believe that the OBX, Ocracoke Island and the Crystal Coast of NC aren’t on the list. Looks to me like they just spoke of large cities. I have watched the state struggle for years to rebuild the dunes after the Nor’easter’s blow thru in the winter.
Reading the replies show that ignorance can be costly. The question should be is climate change happening and can anything be done to stop it. It’s too easy to deny it is happening. Scientists have data, deniers have opinions. I don’t like EVs but putting CO2 into the atmosphere sounds dangerous. I wonder what happened to Mars and Venus. Just because we don’t understand it does justify denying it.
I believe that most of the change occurring these days is due to the sun, not activities on earth. Any man-made component is small. The reaction of our governments, world-wide is to try and stop the change by reducing our carbon footprint which is exactly the wrong thing to do. What should be done is to develop methods to deal with and adapt to changes, not stop them from occurring. Just from a practical point of view, the US is one of the few countries which is actually reducing our carbon footprint. China and India are the major producers of CO2 making US efforts futile.
I’m 59, and according to these same “experts”, Galveston Island, Texas, was supposed to be completely submerged 24 years AGO. Our San Jacinto Monument was only supposed to be 5 ft tall as well.
We were supposed to be only able to survive by walking around in gas masks by the 1990s, totally out of food and oil by the 1980s.
Let’s not forget the second ice age that was predicted in the 1970s.
And that’s just a few predictions made by these experts!
So forgive my skepticism.
The earth will do what the earth will do. Thinking humans can control that is just more examples of our arrogance.
Water will not be a problem. the like of will really suck. Earth will end up like Mars.
Thought electing Obama solved that … he said so. Manhattan is soil & sand at the lower end (south of 14th St). It has continued to expand – literally – over the decades. In particular, the World Trade Center & Twin Towers were built on landfill out into the Hudson. No indication of rising water levels (guess Obama was right, and Al Gore … wrong). But north of 14th is GRANITE; it ain’t about to sink 1mm. CHECK YOUR “FACTS”!
More people, less land, what could possibly go wrong?
Haha climate change is complete bullshit. Fill a glass with ice cubes and then add water to the brim. Come back days later and not a drip has spilled. It’s called replacement and the samething happens with melting Artic ice,the ocean levels don’t rise.
Over the years I’ve heard all sorts of climate prognostications; all of which never come to pass. I distinct remembered we were suppose to have a “New Ice Age.” I’m still waiting after 45 years.
I was somewhat surprised to see that Long Island, NY was not on the list. The island has been divided (East end from the West end) once already and I cannot see it getting any better. How much longer before this divide happens again and the gap is even wider the next time and the water does not recede as it did last time?
The poles are melting and water levels rise as they have done many times throughout earth’s history. It is a scientific fact documented over 125 yrs ago that increasingly filling our atmosphere with CO2 will modify our atmosphere (e.g. heat). We have been pumping combusted wood, coal and oil into our atmosphere since the start of the Industrial Revolution. It has been documented that diminished or increased amounts of various gasses can produce dramatic climate effects such as snowball earth. So here we are with 8 billion people all trying to live like we do in the states. We are all inextricably bound to fossil fuels for the foreseeable future as the world’s economies operate recycling long dead plants & dinosaurs. That does not mean we should not be prudently exploring solar, wind, nuclear, water, hydrothermal to help us meet our ever increasing power needs worldwide. It is sound policy and market forces will eventually clarify that realization. The way I see it the future is already set. Yes in 100 yrs the coasts will be flooded and we will be using more alternatives & less oil. Long term just plan for a hotter world and all that effects – aka modified shorelines.
I won’t be here 50 years from now however my grandchildren most likely will and even my 7 children could be. Whatever happens in the next 50 – 100 years is going to happen no matter what. There will be people that are correct about in what they believe will happen and people that will be incorrect just as there have been before. I guess one just needs to consider what are the most important actions to take whether they are internally moral or externally preventive action to stay safe in the future. Just do not be ignorant, nor argue just to argue what might happen. Get off your duff and do something positive with your life and hopefully make choices that leave others and your environment better than you found it. Well, there is my two cents worth.
Nonsense! More gloom and doom forecasts. Ice age, global warming, rising sea levels, abnormal weather conditions blah! blah! blah! States Cities & towns all gone by the year 2100, a mere 76 years away. If this is truly going to happen, would it not be prudent to start abandoning the coastal areas starting today?
The cause of climate change is irrelevant. What matters is not doing anything about it because of political cussedness. Climate deniers are like frogs boiling to death because the water heats slowly.
I don’t believe any of them will be. NOLA is already way below sea level isn’t it?? but y’all believe the earth is warming?? right?? Doesn’t warmth cause more evaporation?? and less snow & ice up north??
Exactly…..Man needs to build on solid ground and use common sense when building…
Natural change in our environment is normal.
God Bless the people for trying to rule by creating FEAR!
The earth goes in cycles. It’s not CLIMATE CHANGE. There is nothing you can do to stop the earth. OYYYYY
Good old scare tactics again. The sky is falling the sky is falling. People like Greta Garbage, and these other climate freaks need to get a life instead of making a—s out of themselves. Their wind mills kill 328k flying animals a year, yet wind power is OK.
We really need to move these people out of this country where they can live on some island and live the climate change cult they are.
Maybe we should stop building on every ounce of the land and quit destroying animal habitats and taking out all trees. These home builders that build houses on top of each other and take peoples land and build their crappy built houses on them or build unnecessary roads when there is already three ways out of their parking lot. No wonder we have climate issues we are destroying the land!!!!!!
I agree… vacation at the same beach for 30 years plus and my family could’ve test too no change in the water coming up any closer to the shoreline. Liberals and globalist want to change the world.🤮
Our earth has been warming up since the ice age was at its peak. We are just in the tail end of it. That’s why we still have huge amounts of ice on our earth. The freeze has happened since the flood. But if you don’t believe the timeline of the Bible you don’t see it. We don’t have any less water on the earth since that took place.
Here’s what I absolutely cannot comprehend, and maybe somebody somewhere can explain it to me. Whether you ‘believe’ in climate change or sea level rise or any of it, the bottom line is that clean, renewable energy simply makes excellent sense on every level. Why are the executives and the board members of fossil fuel related energy concerns so invested in staying only with a clearly dying industry? It’s obvious to anyone with a lick of sense that the Renewables are the way to go and that is where all the profit will be down the road. Better jump on board now before somebody beats you to it. However I will also say on the other side, people who try to make the case that fossil fuels will become completely irrelevant are equally silly. Fossil fuels will continue to be part of our energy makeup for a very long time to come, certainly the lifetime of anyone living today, and probably several beyond that. It just makes sense instead of choosing to polarize folks over what is viewed as a liberal versus conservative issue, to just make the decisions that make the best scientific AND economic sense. What a world, what a world… The big Automotive manufacturers fought electric vehicles with every fiber of there being for decades. Now they’re all building them. Granted electrics are suffering of bit of a black eye at the moment, but they are clearly the way of the future.
This Bull shit was spouted by some others in the 70s they are not under water yet and probably never will be the ocean leaves is the same as it was 100 yrs ago why don’t you gloom and boomers get a life
LMAO!!! When I was in high school we were told New York city would be under water by the year 2000. That most of Florida would be gone. Still waiting. Same BS.
Like i am going to believe what the people say that also says men can get pregnant its all bullshit
How about someday the whole world will be under water again just like in the beginning of the world when everything was under water then God separated the earth and water. I wouldn’t worry about the flooding but I woulf worry about the intense heat it may bring because all the ice in the artic will melt from it and we all die anyways. All living things are screwed pretty much. So then why worry about it we just live to/and die.
Don’t put your trust in Mankind-there’s alot of agenda’s-talks-doings-secretly destroying mankind-food industry-sweets-vitamins-alot of them being done by China-BELIEVE AND PRAY TO GOD
You can’t stop Mother Nature! I’ve seen it in the flood of 1993 in St. Louis when the Levees broke put in by engineers. Some of the rivers are rising because they stopped dredging in 1976…and they wonder why those areas are always flooding. Funny now that Biden will be gone that Climate change seems to be going with him…delusional he can’t control Mother Nature but he actually thought he & the Democrats could by trying to force us into fear!!!
Rising seas plus the slow, ever shifting continentel drift will totally erode and re-shape existing shorelines
It so horrible that so many politically based responses are shrugging of the fact that the changing climate is happening at a rate that has excellerated. I’ve noticed more change in the past 10 – 15 years of my life than the first 45 – 50. I would like to improve the ecology of the earth not destroy for future generations. Yes the change in climate is natural. However, it is causing the adaptation of flora and fauna to fall short of their abilities. My guess is that those that believe that the changing climate isn’t a problem didn’t do well in the ecological portion of science class. Climate change is a real issue
You are an idiot
What about Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, and other Caribbean Islands?
This topic was just a convienent political hammer for the green left to seize power by creating a panic. Venice Italy has been dealing with this for decades, but it is still the premier destination for Italian tourism and will continue to be. Humans adapt to changing conditions to protect their investments. Interesting Washington DC, Seattle, Portland, San Diego, and LA were not even mentioned given their coastal locations, maybe they are politically chosen ones. BR
How come Plymouth Rock is still at sea level?
How come all of the people that are in charge of global warming are flying their own airplanes to these luxury meetings about global warming? They still can’t agree on anything worth changing…
Man-made “climate change”…… is TOTAL BULLSHIT!!
even back in the 70’s in NJ I had the same worried about the water there high and low pretty quickly.
‘They’ have been warning us for the last 50+ years that I have been made aware of. They said there would be no sand on the beaches within 10 years and the coral would be gone as well. This was in the early 70’s. The climate has always changed and always will. Mankind has very little to do with the change. Time for everyone to move inland, before they have to put everything on stilts and paddle their way around in their electric boats, better yet peddle powered. I live in AZ, USA (desert) and the word has always been we are waiting for beach front property. Too bad I will not be around in 75 years to see it.
Human-mediated climate change is utter nonsense. That said, climate does change for the better or worse,
They have been saying the same thing for the last hundred years. But if you look at a picture of the statue of liberty back when they put it up and now. The water level is the same. Wasn’t California supposed to be under water by now? Climate change is huge fraud, Pushed to get more money out of everyone. They are spraying massive amounts of heavy metals and toxins in the sky’s to change the weather to keep this hoax up, and probably to make us sick so that Pharma keeps making its huge profits.
Nobody’s paying attention to china’s aggressive use of concrete and dams so much so our poles are tilting at an alarming rate, ocean currents are swaying ice is melting and our magnetic field is shifting and we decided to pitch in with EVs which is alot dirtier than oil production.
Here we go again, the “cities under water” if we don’t do anything to stop global warming / cooling / climate change claim. I live in a city that was SUPPOSED to be under water 10 years ago. There is no man made climate change…get over yourselves.
Fear mongering
I’m pretty sure each and every yahoo comment section is being run by the GOP.
The real climate deniers are those who think there is something we can do to stop the warming of the earth. I believe that warming is occurring. But how much of that is man’s doing is debatable. I think the majority of the warming is just mother nature doing her thing. She has given us warming and cooling climate changes many times over the course of earth’s history.
Even if the climate change is due mostly to man’s actions over the past 150 years, I have read scientific studies more than a decade ago, that when they were written said we were already past the tipping point at least a decade ago. Meaning no matter what we do now to control and try to correct the suspected cause of the warming (emission of Green House Gases into the atmosphere and the burning of fossil fuels). The earth’s temperature will continue to increase to the point of unsustainable human life on the planet. So, rather than trying to stop the warming which even if we were to completely stop using fossil fuels entirely and stop all forms of carbon and greenhouse emissions at this point is now impossible to save us. Instead, we should concentrate on ways to survive the rising temperatures for as long as possible. I know that is a hard pill to swallow but I believe that is the reality of Climate Change.
That was all supposed to happen by the end of the last century. All this man-made global warming is a government sponsored religion based on JUNK science! It’s being used to make the elites rich and control the masses. It comes straight out of the Comunist Manifesto. Control the land the water and the sky, then you control the people. They started out warning about man-made global cooling. Then they changed it to man-made global warming. Since the planet kept defying their narrative, the changed it to “climate change”. That way, no matter what happens, it’s man’s fault! “We need bigger governments and more control over the people!” It’s all a religion of the gullible! The climate IS changing! It always has and always will! And will continue to change long after man becomes extinct from the planet!
We need to exterminate humanity with the exception of a few elites who are worthy in order to save the planet. Or, sterilize all humanity without exception in order to save the planet.
God Almighty is the land lord of the earth and God Almighty will take care of his land.
amen
Just remember this… There was an ice age in this area a very long time ago.
The huge boulders in Central Park and loaded with grooves from the glaciers sliding across them.
The Earth has a 12 month cycle that we can easily see.
How about a 200 or 300 year cycle? Who will see that?
Lets call it climate change.
You know, I would swear it was only a few years ago that Greta Thunberg was blathering on about how this sort of thing was going to happen by 2030, now it’s the end of the century. When I was a teenager, we were being warned about a new ice age as temps had been lowering since 1950. Fast forward to the 2000s or so and it was temps have been rising since 1950 and global warming. They finally settled on climate change because the climate is always changing so they couldn’t be called out so easily. There is no climate crisis, it’s just a scare tactic and way to control people because scared people don’t think logically. If they can frighten enough people to the correct degree, they can get away with murder.
The climate has been changing for a few thousand years. Remember the ice age. The ice is still melting from the ice fields and glaciers.
How about publishing all on one page.
Quick! Pass another bunch of taxes! We can solve everything by taxing us more, right? Next, we need a tax on human-caused continental drift. We also need a fuel- depletion tax to keep the sun from burning out. How about another one to prevent the Earth’s magnetic poles from reversing? We need to jump on this NOW! As every lying politician says: “It’s for our children!”
If they really want to tax something, they should pass a gullibility tax and an alarmist tax. If only they could monetize stupidity…
