Was just at the beach yesterday and the sand bar protecting the lagoon, had a breech about 100 metres wide -it's hard to imagine the seas can get that high to do that, but there has been an increase of ex tropical storms here in the last few years.
And it's below the ocean surface because of global warming.
Just a thought.
Here are two pix taken of the same exact location. This is at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, CA (Pacific)
For all the yahoos that believe (and fear) that the oceans are rising) , first pic was taken over 100 years ago. Second pic was taken within the last few years. Looking closely you can see the big windmill that is very obvious in the first pic, at the end of the row of white colored condo apartments. The water line has not changed.

High winds can do that as well as high tides, storm activities, etc.
I'm reading about places all over the country trying to mitigate the effects of climate change. I'm yet to read about this being a big wealth transfer.
I guess it's a good thing they weren't around in previous Inter-Glacial Periods, because the sea levels during those previous periods rose much higher than the current predicted rise.
Palaeo data suggest that Greenland must have been largely ice free during Marine Isotope Stage 11 (MIS-11). The globally averaged MIS-11 sea level is estimated to have reached between 6–13 m above that of today.
“Even though the warm Eemian period was a period when the oceans were four to eight meters higher than today, the ice sheet in northwest Greenland was only a few hundred meters lower than the current level, which indicates that the contribution from the Greenland ice sheet was less than half the total sea-level rise during that period,” says Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, and leader of the NEEM-project.
I've offered to buy beach front property from any liberal global warmer for 5 cents on the dollar. If they really believe their land will be underwater they should jump at the chance to " sucker" me. So far, no takers.
tide erosion does more damage than climate issue every will. Its common to loose twenty feet of beach with every hurricane, you think i care about couple inches in 100 years.
