Increasing damage on the West Coast

[Samofvt]

Everyone has been warning CA about it's active fault line and eroding coastline for the past 60 years.

It's not my fault if they ignore the warnings. Why should I pay for someone else's stupidity?

4th or 5th LARGEST in the World.
California has some problems, BUT take CA out of the equation, along with OR and WA, we join Canada.......... LOLLLOLL. You still despise CA?

CA supports your RED State. FACT.

California was founded by hearty men and women. Today's Progressive Socialist Communists did nothing. Over a half century or so you infected the politics of the state which was infected before that with legislation and laws that opened the doors for you. Over 20% of your economy is for the costs of doing business at your ports. You should be richer and the quality-of-life better. Massive road system improvements are needed in some areas, and you play games.

So, you are denying that The Great State of CA, is in fact in the top 5 of WORLD GDP?
Sure, tell us again how CA doesn't fund the Southern RED States.

Dear LORD.

As the ocean and atmosphere warm, we are seeing increased damage to shoreline from increasingly energetic waves and major flooding in the interior from the atmospheric rivers. Of course, the admins response to this is genius. Defund research and observation systems that would give us early warning.

Pretty silly scary viral video with no facts, no science, just a lot of what ifs and maybe and could, just another far left wing scare tactic.

Much of the Oregon, Washington, and California coastline is eroding, for centuries. That is what water can do, look at the Snake River Canyon, how many centuries did it create that deep canyon today which is still getting deeper.

The Great Flood of 1862, turned California's Central Valley, all 300 MILES of it, into a lake.

Get back to me when you have a storm like that.

This current stuff is very weak.

Just don't go farther north. The whole area from northern California to around Vancouver Island, Canada is the Cascadia slip fault. That is a slip fault that could release its energy any time from right now to the next few thousand years. Technically, it might already be overdue.

When that happens, there will be an instant readjustment of the entire coastline there that will be felt ten miles inland.

More like 100 miles. Further if the city is built on quaternary alluvium.

I'm SAD for you that you wish for USA destruction. WHY?

Yellowstone BLOWS before your wish of CA despise.

When Yellowstone Blows, the entire USA is DEAD.

Don't wish for this ^^^^^^

Yellowstone already blew. There will be at least a million years pass before the Hotspot blows again. And many, many miles away.

OK,
I got 40 more, How about you?

Well, its a matter of degrees. Depending how it slips, it could cause titanic waves at shore with unbelievable earthquakes that I understand will change in nature and direction depending on location and distance from shore. There could be coastal flooding miles inland with utter devastation for miles. Anything within ten miles of the shore might see anything from total devastation to significant damage!

But yeah, if you are also living on top of unstable loose fill in that general area, there is nothing I'd fear more except if Yellowstone itself went super-V on us again! Cascadia would make Mt. Saint Helens look like childsplay. Mother Earth is slowly eating up the Pacific Ocean and all that energy has to go somewhere, just glad I won't be in the Space Needle when it hits.

California is being punished by Gawd.

you mean the dipshit politicians.....god has more important things to do....

Rising seas and frequent storms are battering California’s piers, threatening the iconic landmarks

At least a half dozen public piers are closed after being damaged repeatedly by storms over the past two years. Repairs will cost millions of dollars.

Did a quick look to find any story on news stations especially about the Santa Monica pier being destroyed... do you got something besides YOUTUBE? I dont see it.

Show us a photo of "ocean rise."

And when you can't, explain why...

As usual, you are full of shit, Westwall. It has been 600,000 years since the last major eruption of Yellowstone. The past periods between eruptions has been 600,000 to 800,000 years.

Summary of Yellowstone Eruption History

Yellowstone's volcanism is the most recent in a 17 million-year history of volcanic activity that progressed from southwest to northeast along the Snake River Plain.

PhD Geologist? Yeah sure, Wilson.

Yeah, it has already blown. It's a hot spot volcanic caldera. They go off once, very occasionally two times, then continental drift places new land over them and the cycle begins again.

No matter though, before an eruption there will be a period of uplift, very noticeable, even to a primitive savage, such as yourself.

The earthquake that devastated Mexico city a couple of decades ago was more than 300 miles away. The people living on the hills around the city never felt a thing.

The most likely explosive event to occur at Yellowstone is actually a hydrothermal explosion (a rock hurling geyser eruption) or a lava flow. Hydrothermal explosions are very small; they occur in Yellowstone National Park every few years and form a crater a few meters across. Every few thousand years, a hydrothermal explosion will form a crater as much as a few hundred meters across.

Though the worst-case scenario for a giant Yellowstone eruption is indeed bad and could have global implications, most past eruptions at Yellowstone were not highly explosive. Of the past 50 or so eruptions, almost all were simple lava flows. If they occurred tomorrow or next year, they would have minimal direct effect outside Yellowstone National Park.

As for the worst-case scenario, even previous Yellowstone supereruptions did not cause extinctions, and ash fallout on the other side of the continent was minimal.

What type of eruption will Yellowstone have if it erupts again?

You don't believe blaming this on a 120 ppm increase in atmospheric CO2 is idiotic? I do.
