[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 426248"] Living on the coast, I find the sea level rise hysteria in particular quite humorous. You can google what I say here to verify it, but from the legacy of the earlier ice age, the land in the northeast (now free of ice) rises with the lack of weight on it...and like a lever it pushes the lower southeast coast down. We are literally sinking about 1 inch per decade. Nobody ever talks about this - they just continue to measure sea level and call it all rise. Its not. I don't see the same thing here that you see in Florida - many cities have long term plans around flooding (which therefore becomes more and more often). On the political side mainly what I see is a lot of people yelling science deniers at everyone, which accomplishes nothing and isn't correct. I see the science and know where we are living. We all make choices to live here. What are we going to do, move out because in 75 years we'll be under water? That is really the only answer, other than building a large seawall...which ultimately won't work and isn't needed until we get there. You can't fight mother nature, so decades down the road as some communities become unlivable, people can just move. The End. [/QUOTE]
