It's OK for the AGW'er to come out now. This shows your concerns were misplaced

I guess you deny Google too?How much is sea level changing?
Where are they? With any climate change there will be some winners and some losers. I'd like to ensure my family are among the former.They weren't build underwater, yet here we are
Useless link. There is a difference between knowing the RATE of erosion and knowing the CAUSE of erosion. Your link gives the former but not the latter.DUH!!
State of the Beach/State Reports/FL/Beach Erosion

So why are the beaches eroding?Florida has been rebuilding its beaches due to erosion since the 1930's mostly on a city by city basis. In the 1950's it was decided that the effort to restore Florida beaches had to be done at the state level. Here is one of the first organizations to recruit the state of Florida in the fight against beach erosion:
"The Florida Shore & Beach Preservation Association was organized in 1957 at a meeting of 37 local government and university leaders concerned about the growing problem of beach erosion that had virtually destroyed important resort beaches such as Miami Beach."

That's honorable, stay with that.Where are they? With any climate change there will be some winners and some losers. I'd like to ensure my family are among the former.

Bullshit---stop drinking the kool-aid.Man has adapted the world as it is, any changes in sea level will be catastrophic for many countries. An Florida.
So why are the beaches eroding?
I did. I took a trip to Iceland and touched a glacier that has receded thousands of meters in recorded history, most in the last 50 years. That water is now in the ocean.That's honorable, stay with that.
Take a clear, honest look at "climate change"
Yeah I know, frightening since a small increase in MSL is magnified in coastal erosion.4 inches in 27 years?

There are cycles within cycles so it is hard to parse what is happening but go to a glacier and see how much it has receded. No matter the cause it is a warning sign.Bullshit---stop drinking the kool-aid.
CO2 is great for plants----and of the green house gases, it is but a tiny tiny percentage. It is to tiny to raise temperatures. WATER VAPER might since it is far more plentiful. Largest greenhouse gas is WATER VAPER by far and away. We are in a cooling cycle btw---we tend to spend a few years cooler, then a few years warmer, then we go back to cooler only to return warmer over and over and over again.
This said, there have been many periods where CO2 levels were very high--------they tend to LAG behind a warming period as ice and permafrost melt releasing their stores of CO2 into the atmosphere---------the EARTH always cools off following them.
Tides, waves and currents are also the builders of beaches, depending on whether the MSL is rising or falling.Tides, waves, currents, storms....:
Plenty, thanks for asking.Any evidence sea level rise since the Industrial Revolution is causing extra coastal erosion?
Plenty, thanks for asking.
Sea level rise increases the potential for erosion by allowing waves to penetrate further inland, even during calm weather (Zhang et al. 2004)
Eight VERTICAL inches would translate to HORIZONTAL erosion many, many times that. A good rule of thumb is that every inch of sea level rise results in the loss of about 2.5 meters (100 inches) of beach. That translates for the US of every inch of sea level rise equals 675,000 square meters of coast being lost. Still laughing?The global average rise has been about eight inches since the Industrial Revolution.
LOL!!!
Thanks for the laugh.
