California against the sea (San Diego, Pacifica: oceanfront, homes, earthquakes)

[Tulemutt]

Earthquakes? Oh yeah. They happen. Then there’s the ocean ...

The California coast is disappearing under the rising sea. Our choices are grim
Should California become one long wall of concrete against the ocean? Will there still be sandy beaches or surf breaks to cherish in the future, oceanfront homes left to dream about? More than $150 billion in property could be at risk of flooding by 2100 — the economic damage far more devastating than the state’s worst earthquakes and wildfires. Salt marshes, home to shorebirds and endangered species, face extinction. In Southern California alone, two-thirds of beaches could vanish.

But surely Trump alone can fixit!

Good article, thanks for posting it. There’s a lot to read and some good sections. The sea wall issue is interesting.

I’ve thought the homes in San Diego that are so close to the water could be in danger at some point. And I’m sure these are million dollar homes with the floor to ceiling windows.

Maybe the combined power of Trump and Newsom can save the day.

Now that I’ve complimented your post I’m pretty sure hell just froze over.

By 2100,California (minus the key, strategic military bases and other important federal land) will be part of Mexico along with Texas and Arizona.

We've already seen the early stage of this in Pacifica, with the cliffs being undermined by wave action, and buildings collapsing.

I wonder what that guy outside Carmel, was it?, who kept trying to block surfers from accessing the beach through or adjacent to his property, is going to do about this.

That link the OP posted has a section on Pacifica that’s pretty interesting.

And none of us are likely to be alive then.



OK, how to stop it? Notice the sources of emissions just in the US.

Then the drop in the US down to almost 1991 levels.
