Seas Have Drastically Risen Along Southern U.S. Coast In Past Decade

The ocean is coming soon to the front porches of climate change deniers.

Scientists have documented an abnormal and dramatic surge in sea levels along the U.S. gulf and southeastern coastlines since about 2010, raising new questions about whether New Orleans, Miami, Houston and other coastal communities might be even more at risk from rising seas than once predicted.

The increase has already had major effects, researchers found. One study suggests that recent devastating hurricanes, including Michael in 2018 and Ian last year, were made considerably worse by a faster-rising ocean. Federal tide gauge data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration suggest that the sea level, as measured by tide gauge at Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans, is eight inches higher than it was in 2006, just after Hurricane Katrina.

Mainly caused by subsidence.

Wow, that would be such a horrible shame if blue cities ended up under ocean water.

The Gulf Coast is ALLLLLLL red states.

The Gulf Coast is ALLLLLLL red states.

So the ocean only rises where red states are?

Damn, The Halfrican was smarter than I thought....The sly dog built his oceanfront digs in a blue state.

 

[lennypartiv]

The Gulf Coast is ALLLLLLL red states.

Is Dothan, Alabama going to be underwater?

Nope.
All the rich Democrats have been snapping up ocean front properties like kids snap up M&M's at halloween.
I'm almost on the ocean. The docks and pillars that have been there since before 2010 are still about at the same water level as always. No change.

You're easily misled aren't you?

let me know when it reaches obamas front door there on marthas vineyard,,

when he moves I will start worrying,,

 

[jotathought]

How much is "drastically risen" ... a "dramatic surge?" Is this based on the "one study" that "suggests" violent storms are a result of fast rising seas?

 

[easyt65]

Gore said coastal cities would be under warlter by now, that polar bears would be extinct...

 

[White 6]

The Gulf Coast is ALLLLLLL red states.

New Orleans is definitely a Blue City.

 

[Missourian]

Fake News.

 

[Thunk]

How can sea level rise in only 1 or 2 areas?

Can you drain only the left half of your bathtub?

 

[occupied]

The Gulf Coast is ALLLLLLL red states.

Yes and they are all spending big on shoreline restoration and reinforcement. Their politicians might talk climate denial but coastal properties are worth too much to let them just wash away.

theyre so caught up in their cult think they dont realize they prove themselves nuts,,

maybe you can explain how the oceans rise in one part of the oceans but not in other parts??

That is why Obama bought a mansion on the coast. He knows how to swim. More fear mongering to destroy capitalism.

They are probably reacting to high tides, which are caused by various factors other than "climate change"

Do you live on the Gulf Coast?

So you must live on the Gulf Coast.
