Never expected to see major coastal flooding in my lifetime, now it looks as if that is a distinct possibility;

Rising seas threaten Norfolk Naval Shipyard, raising fears of 'catastrophic damage' to key military facility
“Every year you wait to make decisions and take actions, the risk goes up," said retired Rear Adm. Jonathan White.www.nbcnews.com

LOL, still pushing the “rising sea levels” hoax?
Ever hear of the Milankovitch Cycles? We should be slowly descending into the next ice age, not rapidly warming. When you go flapping yap about geology, you should at least have a minimal knowledge about it.How about "coastal flooding" in previous lifetimes? In geological terms the earth might still be emerging from a 2nd ice age event but lefties never have a nice day.
Wasn't Obama the one who was supposed to stretch out his hand and calm the rising seas, or was that just more of that fake-assed "hope and change" bullshit the Democrats fell for?
You know, like Biden ending the virus.
"Hampton Roads has one of the highest rates of relative sea level rise -- the combined effects of sinking land and rising seas -- along the U.S. East Coast, about an inch (23 millimeters) every five years. It has experienced a steady and dramatic increase in high-tide flooding over the last 90 years. Accurate, local subsidence maps are necessary for the area to prepare for increasing flood risks in the future. The region comprises seven Virginia cities, including Norfolk and Virginia Beach, as well as Naval Station Norfolk, the country’s largest naval base."How much of that is due to subsidence? 50%? More?

The fact that President Obama, a black man, was President for two terms, won both the popular vote and the electoral college both times, still frosts your agates. LOL And the POS whose ass you kiss now looks to be looking at multiple felony charges from his attempted coup. Plus the fact that never did he win the popular vote. How does it feel to back a total dumb ass loser?Wasn't Obama the one who was supposed to stretch out his hand and calm the rising seas,
That's why he bought two ocean-side homes.
He slowed the rise of the oceans.

NASA Finds Virginia Metro Area Is Sinking Unevenly
The Hampton Roads metropolitan area is sinking at highly uneven rates, with a few spots subsiding 7 to 10 times faster than the area average.www.nasa.gov
So the Naval Base is experiencing about 1/3 inch subsidence every five years, and about an inch of sea level rise in that same period.
Such a dumb ass you are. Thwaites Glacier covers an area larger than Great Britain. So there are a few volcanoes under it. We have multiple volcanoes here on the West Coast, and every one of them is sheathed in ice. If they cannot melt all that ice sitting right on them, what makes you think that a couple of volcanoes could melt ice covering the area of the Thwaites Glacier.Thwaites sits on top of active undersea volcanoes, right? Does 120PPM of CO2 added over 150 years cause undersea volcanoes to activate?

I served, 20 years. Did you?Frankie boi, did you ever serve? Did you ever do anything for your nation, or are you just another "Conservative" freeloader.
Not at all. This is what the article said;So the Naval Base is experiencing about 1/3 inch subsidence every five years, and about an inch of sea level rise in that same period.
I think you meant 2/3 of an inch sea level rise.
