Regardless of what you think may be the cause, I think it is very foolish to ignore the reality of it.

Be smart enough not too build your house or start a business right on the coast and problem solved. And if if you do you should be heavily insured, do you know why " s*** happens.

The sea level has been rising and falling forever. It is the rithym of nature.

South Jersey was under water, glaciers almost met the sea. Now you have the garden state arts center, Atlantic city and the brendan byrne arena, Jersey city and Hoboken.

Venice has been fighting the rising sea forever.

Scientific data is open to interpretation. Data requires interpretation. Science exists only thru challenge.
Any conclusion must be challenged to provide the life giving requirements science needs to exist.

When challenges to a conclusion are dismissed instead of examined and compared it is very clear that science is no longer in play and that nefarious intentions loom.

There is an entire industry making its bones on the slippery slope of human caused global warming. All those Phds studying carbon need jobs. The govmnt grants keep colleges going and that 'independent research' is regurgiation that feeds more federal cash to their coffers.

If emissions are the culprit then we are doomed as India, China, et al never bought a subscription to human caused glaobal warming.

HCGW is another catastrophe politicians can save us from and make money doing it.

The earth and nature should be respected and the most effective way is thru individual responsibility.
Government intervention before and during the current administration is incapable of sound judgement as radical zealots have taken over the EPA, DEP and other agencies and the Dem politicianss see a once in a lifetime opportunity to further a socialist political agenda foisted on an uninformed population nto a step removed from dark age intelligence.....with cooperation of the media of course.

Shame on humanity (including myself) for letting this happen to out environment. We need stronger world standards to try and battle this problem.
Here's a little preview of your utopia....

The fact is the West cannot stop increased CO2 emissions on their own. The deveopling nations are emitting more CO2 everyday and they cannot afford to use more expensive energy alternatives. In other words cap and trade will do little.

There are only three alternatives, geoengineering, new technology that actually produces cleaner and cheaper energy and building dikes.

I learned a long time ago in the business world that if you are going to bring up a problem have some viable suggestion of a possible solution. The global warmists have suggested nothing that would not push more jobs to China and India where pollution standards are much less strict than our own.

I'm terrified. I know for a fact that the Ocean has been at the EXACT same level since Earth was born. The fact that it's changing is a shock.
