South Florida and Sea Level Rise

Dad, born in Miami in 1919. You said this was starting to happen, it here Dad. I miss you and love you with my life, you taught me how to fish the Everglades, Capt Sambis pass , and Flamingo. I am sad that you were right, and not here to see What you and Grandpa said that would happen. For your grandchildren, children .

Seas have been in an ebb and flow pattern for thousands of years. Until lately, people have been smart enough not to build right next to the ocean. Point fingers where ever you want. This is on you.

[@joemc111]

Since 1850 the sea level has been steadily rising at the same rate. The annual sea level rise is about the thickness of your finger nail. South Florida landmass like New York land mass is sinking.

[@776281]

And in east Antarctica we have to keep an eye on the Totten Glacier. Once thought to be protected by a mountain ridge, now we find the ridge has gaps.

[@takvera]

+776281 Yes West Antarctic Ice Sheet has probably already started a collapse that is unstoppable. How fast? we don't know. Totten Glacier in East Antarctica was only recently discovered to have a retreating slope, so could also provide large amount of ice sheet to be carried to southern ocean to contribute to sea level rise.

[@mr.elastomeric1787]

just watched a video on a channel called climate state the scientist makes the presentation and says the totten glacier would be responsible for 4 meteres of sea level rise by it self its 55 minutes but a good listen

[@chodkowski01]

They need to vacate all of Florida now. You can tell the people all you want, they really aren’t concerned what’s going to happen in the next 100 years. I live in Florida and I live on the 2nd floor, I always wanted waterfront property maybe I’ll finally be able to get it. I’ll just tie the boat up to my patio. Just imagine how nice it would be to fish off your patio.

[@petuniaromania6294]

Hello there. I live in Wakulla County, Florida. We have an extraordinary amount of wetland development and expansion of pre-existing wetlands, so much so that my subdivision will soon have yards with either wetlands or softened yards due to a high water table. It is my belief that inland fresh water wetland growth and expansion is a protective mechanism of sorts that has been activated in response to the rise in dense salt water along the coastlines as it exerts pressure upon the fresh water table, pushing the fresh water further inland. I believe that the wetlands are also developing in order to provide a barrier to inland salt water intrusion underground as it moves into the karst system. Is this being studied and monitored?

[@debbies.5975]

What are they going to do about Turkey Point nuclear reactor and all of its radioactive waste?

Don't you mean what are we gonna do and not what they are gonna do? It's our problem. Using they clears me and you of responsibility I guess.

[@marysejean-louis6795]

You actually showed my building where I currently live. Trust me the flooding is worse than you think. When it rains I have to move my car to the upper level. The water comes gushing up from the sewers. There have been times when I couldn't drive into the building due to the flooding. I've only lived here for 8 years and it has gotten much worse. they are pumping sand now in some parts to make up coast line. But #Trump and his real estate buddies are continuing to build like crazy here. God will I will be moving out soon. You guys need to do a follow up.

[@neverknew3343]

[@eekwhodat5999]

I've been going to Key West for the last 7 years, and I'd swear every time I return, the water is a little higher. I saw the king tide flooding for myself...scary to think that will be the norm fairly soon. Coming from the middle of the country, I used to question sea level rise. But having seen it in person, I'm convinced!

[@perseusrex614]

I dunno what you guys are saying. Me island (Crete) sea has gotten lower about 20 cm in the last 40 years.

[@rchuso]

So how soon before the insurance companies pull out?

[@rathelmmc3194]

Good question. I wonder if it will be more than 20 years before they do. The question I have is will the state still refuse to call it climate change as their biggest city turns into Atlantis.

[@raverdeath100]

well, in the UK, the insurance companies are having an increasingly hard time and are relying more on gov't subsidies. after the flooding of the last few years, getting insurance for riverside properties has become almost impossible. i reckon it will get harder for Miami after the next big hurricane.

[@Desertphile]

Flood insurance in that area has been subsidized by tax payers for decades. A few years ago Congress voted to end those subsidies, and the America Treason Party screamed bloody murder. With the America Treason Party back in power, I suppose the subsidies will be restored.

[@rathelmmc3194]

[@bernyshomstein4191]

I moved onto the Miami oceanfront years before this was such a problem. Like my ancestors that escaped pogroms, revolutions, and who knows what else, I'll leave the coast. And probably South Florida. I'll leave this place, get new junk. Probably 1 really good hurricane and I'll be out of here. Have fun while Miami's still dry.

[@douglascolman3752]

Why isn't this sea level rise happening in for example Cuba or the Carolinas or Mexico. These places are all in the same area but no SLR there? Miami ocean level ISN'T RISING, Miami is SINKING

[@paulmcgreevy3011]

I understand that a lot of smart people are predicting catastrophic consequences from using fossil fuels, I take that very seriously, and I have studied their predictions extensively. What I have found is this: leading experts and the media have been making the exact same predictions for more than forty years. As far back as the 1970s they predicted that if we did not dramatically reduce fossil fuel use then, and use renewables instead, we would be experiencing catastrophe today-catastrophic resource depletion, catastrophic pollution, and catastrophic climate change. Instead, the exact opposite happened. Instead of using a lot less fossil fuel energy, we used a lot more-but instead of long-term catastrophe we have experienced dramatic, long-term improvement in every aspect of life, including environmental quality. The risks and side effects of using fossil fuels declined while the benefits-cheap, reliable energy and everything it brings, expanded to billions more people. When every single prediction by the warmists has been wrong for over 4 decades, when we can see the benefits of cheap power everywhere, it is time and past time to accept the truth that those smart people are not so smart. Or is it that the catastrophists need a catastrophe to keep their jobs and that they have become intellectual prostitutes, they need to toe the line or they’re out. The same applies throughout academia, the media and politics today. Everybody knows speaking your mind is just not allowed these days. ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3fGZH6qlNGNm80 Here are a few interesting facts about climate change. There’s not much co2 in the atmosphere. If you consider that 99% of the air in the atmosphere forms a layer 20 km thick, the constituent co2 in that layer at 400 parts per million or 0.04% or 4 one hundredths of 1%, would form a layer just 8 metres thick. Since atmospheric co2 levels have increased from 280 ppm since 1850 The layer put there by humans at 120 ppm, accumulated over 160 odd years of industrial activity, is just a negligible 2.4m thick. A layer of co2 just 2.4m thick is supposed to be the cause for so much concern. This is not going to affect the temperature of the planet especially as it doesn’t form a layer but is spread extremely thinly throughout the whole atmosphere to the point where any effect is going to be so tiny it will barely even be measurable. Each new molecule of co2 added has a diminishing impact. The actual recorded data proves that the measurable increases in temperature are a third of the computer model predictions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnqWlaJ5gM18bbM Dr David Evans interview.
Humans emit 30 Giga tonnes of co2 each year into an atmosphere which has a mass of 5,150,000 Giga tonnes. This means that for every molecule of co2 we emit annually there are around 172,000 molecules of air in the atmosphere, 69 of which are co2. Again any effect is going to be so tiny it will not be measurable. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_of_Earth
 The sea level is not rising above historic levels. People will tell you anecdotally that having reached old age the sea level where they live has never changed in their lifetime. There is plenty of photographic evidence from the 19th century to provide comparison. The Statue of Liberty, built in the 1880’s, is often depicted semi submerged in media scare stories warning about global warming. A quick search on google of pictures from the 19th century compared to today shows no change around the famous landmark. It was reported 30 years ago that the Maldives would be under water in 30 years. Instead today the Maldives have actually increased their land mass and there’s a lot of expensive waterfront villas being built to attract wealthy people to buy holiday homes on the islands. You can see more evidence of sea level fraud here kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2mVpKCcmN6ji8U
 The Level of co2 in the atmosphere is at almost the lowest level in the Earths history. The Earth began with an atmosphere containing at least 20% co2 and possibly as much as 50%. Over time the co2 has dissolved into the sea and been converted into rocks as well as consumed and held by the Earth’s biomass or converted into fossil fuels. Therefore rising co2 from today’s trace level of 0.04% is not going to pose an existential threat. See professor Ian Plimer for more geological historical facts. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5e9o4V9a6qSaas
 Earth has been a lot warmer by as much as 14 degrees c. Therefore if the temperature of the Earth was going to spiral out of control it would have done so then. The Antarctic landmass was previously connected to South America which forced the warm oceans currents coming down from the equator to go around it which kept it warm. The fossil records on Antarctica show that it was covered in lush forests. When Antarctica separated through tectonic activity the warm currents were able to divert past it and it began to freeze providing an air conditioning unit for the Earth. Prior to this there was no ice on Earth. Today the Antarctic is protected from warming by circumpolar current that shields it from warm currents. ... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_Circumpolar_Current
 The Antarctic can’t melt. The Antarctic is twice the size of Australia. The ice has been there for 30 million years plus. The ice coverage is up to 15,000 feet thick and averages 3,000 feet thick. The average daily temperature is minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit and the melting point of ice is plus 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Therefore the temperature would need to rise by 90 degrees Fahrenheit to even allow the ice to start melting. This is not possible in a time line of less than many millions of years which would be needed to allow plate tectonics to alter the geography of the planet sufficiently. The volume of ice is not decreasing in the Antarctic.
 The Greenland ice sheet is melting but the world will have frozen over again before 10% of the ice has melted. The Greenland ice sheet is losing 200 cubic kilometres of ice per year but given that it has an ice volume of 2,850,000 cubic kilometres it would take a 100 years to melt 0.7% of the total volume or a thousand years to melt 7%. Due to the varying orbit of the planet we will have entered the next 100,000 year ice age glacial period by that time. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_ice_sheet
 There are no hotspots in the upper troposphere. Climate scientists say there should be hot spots in the the upper troposphere in the tropics where excess heat is released by rising water vapour. We’ve been sending weather balloons up twice a day from 900 locations since the late 60’s to measure what’s going on in the upper atmosphere and the data shows no hotspots so that’s a pretty solid clue that the supposed amplification of warming caused by water vapour is not occurring kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnqWlaJ5gM18bbM 
 Receding Swiss glaciers inconveniently reveal 4000 year old forests - and make it clear that glacier retreat is nothing new.
Dr. Christian Schlüchter’s discovery of 4,000-year-old chunks of wood at the leading edge of a Swiss glacier was clearly not cheered by many members of the global warming doom-and-gloom science orthodoxy.This finding indicated that the Alps were pretty nearly glacier-free at that time, disproving accepted theories that they only began retreating after the end of the little ice age in the mid-19th century. As he concluded, the region had once been much warmer than today, with “a wild landscape and wide flowing river.”
Dr. Schlüchter’s report might have been more conveniently dismissed by the entrenched global warming establishment were it not for his distinguished reputation as a giant in the field of geology and paleoclimatology who has authored/coauthored more than 250 papers and is a professor emeritus at the University of Bern in Switzerland. wattsupwiththat.com/2014/08/08/receding-swiss-glaciers-incoveniently-reveal-4000-year-old-forests-and-make-it-clear-that-glacier-retreat-is-nothing-new/
 The science isn’t settled. The science of AGW is no more settled than the science of economics. It is not a precise science such as physics, there are too many dynamic variables and many that are not understood. Weather can barely be predicted for a week much less for a century. Anyone can make something up then do a million climate models on a computer to fit what they say. The problem is they’ve not been able to even do that, the models have never fitted the data. It becomes obvious that the scientific establishment are purveyors of a crock when the scientific journals suppress opposing research and the science establishments disallow opposing research projects and anybody voicing opposing ideas is out of a job. There is an absolute ton of evidence of fraudulent data throughout the scientific institutions. See the excellent video by Tony Heller, ‘Evaluating the integrity of official climate records’ kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZmQdYGEfrqdgbc
 The reason the left promote Climate Catastrophism. Science and reason don’t come into it. For the Greens, environmental issues are merely a convenient, fashionable and cuddly mask to disguise their aggressive anti-capitalist, anti-growth, anti-human, redistributive, big-government-heavy agenda. Climate Catastrophism is the latest and probably most powerful justification for the totalitarian state yet invented and the left will hold on to it for dear life. They have found the perfect vehicle for their totalitarian vision. Now it’s do what we say or the whole planet will disappear in a puff of smoke. They have created the catastrophe and now they promise to fix it if only you’ll vote for them. The panic mongering about the imminent end of the world is simply a pretext for reorganising the economy into a control and command system.

[@sjoncb]

+Philip Lindsay july 2016 was the hottest month ever recorded in human history. storms are are stronger and more frequent than ever before. coastline erosion is happening, subsiding coastland is happening, ocean temperatures are increasing. these are all facts. higher water temperatures equate to snow caps and glaciers melting faster and increased water volume. no white ice to reflect suns energy back into space equates to the earth absorbing that hot energy. fact, sea levels are rising because of all of this. fact.

[@roberthicks1612]

So the fact that science has proven the land is sinking is not a reason the city is flooding, yet co2, which has not been proven to cause a warming must be? The sea is rising at the same rate it has for 350 years but they claim it is rising faster than any time in history. The reality is 3000 years ago it was rising inches per year, not cm per decade.

[@frankblangeard8865]

As of now the flooding in south Florida due to higher tides is on Alton Road and West Ave. in Miami Beach and on Cordova Road in Fort Lauderdale. No severe flooding reported in Palm Beach County. That's right, just a few streets here and there. However, the average elevation in Miami Beach is six feet above sea level. If sea level rise amounts to six and one half feet by the year 2100 then kiss Miami goodbye. Six and one half feet is the worst case scenario projected by NOAA. The best case scenario projected by NOAA is about eight inches of sea level rise by 2100.

[@scolopede]

There is land subsidence involved esp. around Florida. People go to different beaches and see no visual difference at a glance from 50+ years ago. I believe in cleaning up the environment but I'm tired of the fear mongering used. Some scientists say the sea would rise maybe a couple of inches even if the caps completely melted, others say 20 or more feet. I know, "the calculation is based on blablablabla." Who's working with accurate data and who isn't. A lot speculating based on data but there is still speculation involved. Somebody needs to make a list from the past 20 years of claims made about what state the world would be in by the year 2015 if we didn't do anything. Looks the same to me. 2020 is close. 2020 will look like it is today, basically. Sure there will be some smaller changes but that's the nature of the planet. What a brilliant move changing the term from "global warming" to "climate change", the climate is always changing. It makes it easy to predict the future and say, "see, I told you so. I told you it would rain. I told you it would snow. I told you there would be a hurricane.", and they get credit for the prediction? imo, a lot of manipulation going on, climate change or not. Why not do a good thing anyway, clean up your yard and enjoy the life you have. We're a funny species, if there is not a problem, we'll find one, it's as though it's in our genes to need a problem.

[@takvera]

+scolopede Average global sealevel rise is currently 3mm per year, but it varies from region to region. It is made up of two components: thermal expansion as ocean water temperatures increase the volume of water increases, and contribution from Antarctic and Greenland Ice sheets. There is a smaller contribution from mountain glaciers that are in retreat and from groundwater which we are pumping out of the ground for drinking, agriculture and industrial usess that makes it's way into the oceans. At the moment a majority of the sealevel rise is from thermal expansion, but as the atmosphere warms we are likely to see a greater contribution, and at an accelerating rate, from ice sheet loss. Thus conservative estimates put sealevel rise at 3 feet by 2100, but it could just as well be 6 to 8 feet by then and accelerating. We just don't yet understand all the physics and dynamics of how fast ice sheets can collapse. That will be a big determining factor.

Significant evidence contradicts the expanding earth theory, evidence better explained by plate tectonics.

Between the 1600 and the 1800 the ocean rose 11 feet..but since then there hasn't been any ocean rise.iin italy the ground is sinking.the oceans are attached and if in South Florida the ocean was rising then it should be rising at my saltwater dock in Bellingham wa,..I have never seen the ocean come up one inch in the 30 years I have been watching the water level.the water may in the future,rise but not at this time.

In case a lack of water vapor which product from the land, in this case the evaporation of the water vapor will increase from the(seas and oceans ),this means not balancing, and this means not balancing on the pressures of the air in the atmosphere, and this let the directions of winds to change... This phenomenon some called climate change and some called global warming, and then NINO and then LANINA,and this year they called global cooling... These directions of winds need to balance...

The summary of climate change is easy. It is the change of humidity in atmosphere, which produce between the (land)and the(seas & oceans) on the other hand... Occurring of rains, snow, storms, and floods at time and in unexpected places, confirm my theory(the change in the directions of winds)which must be balanced... How to reduce the heat of the earth and atmosphere? We must supply the earth with a natural cooling places... Results: ---------- 1- To balance the water vapor which produces between the( ground)and the(seas and oceans )... 2- To balance the pressures of the air in the atmosphere... 3- To balance the directions of winds which caused the climate change... 4- To control upon the storms and harricans... 5- To revive the the first theory of climate change (dynamic horizontal movement).

[@stormlover2192]

If There is as much change in the next 10 years where I live as there has been in the last 10 years the environment will not be recognizable. The reality though is that things are accelerating. I guess that means that the landscape will be more than unrecognizable.

Ocean levels are falling not rising.

[@takvera]

+Philip Hunter that is not what the tide guages round the world, as well as satellite measurements are saying.

[@littleheath1666]

+takvera , two facts 1. the earth is expanding and its surface area is increasing which makes it impossible for water levels to rise. 2. if all the Antarctic land ice melted the sea level would only rise by 17cm. Which is nothing to be concerned about and it isnt going to happen.

[@takvera]

+Philip Hunter and you have peer reviewed science to back up those assertions?

[@littleheath1666]

+takvera , do the maths yourself. If you cant you shouldnt be comentating.

[@stormlover2192]

If the problems in Florida were caused by sea level rise then the problems would be the same across the whole country and the world. This is not happening. The problem is the local geology. Sea level rise across the world is 2mm per year if that. Check out old photos of the Statue of Liberty built in around 1886 and compare to photos today. You will sea no difference whatsoever. The proof as they say is in the pudding. People must stop being so arrogant that they think they should try to change the climate rather than gradually move inland or build robust sea defences. There are waters edge developments going on all over the world. Think of the Palm development in Dubai and many others. These developments would not be getting built if anyone thought they were going to be engulfed by rising seas any time soon.

[@petuniaromania6294]

Water over the land is happening at an accelerated rate and other areas of contribution to standing water need to be considered, such as wetland activity, sinkhole activity, and land subsidence. Many inland areas will be wetlands and the birthing's of what will become "bays" way before the ocean water reaches those areas. The water is rising up into the land through the karst system underneath.

From NOAA: "Since 1992, satellite altimeters indicate that the rate of rise has increased to 1.2 inches per decade." Sea level rise is being greatly exaggerated, to push the false globular model. We live on a plane, people, and it's very, VERY big! ;-)
