Seas only rose 8 inches during the entire 20th Century. Sea rise is not accelerating. To have a one foot sea rise by 2050 is simply scaremongering, but, that’s what this cult does best
Seas could rise up to a foot by 2050, posing ‘a clear and present risk’ to U.S.
Sea levels along U.S. coasts will rise by as much as a foot in the next 30 years as climate change accelerates, leading to a “dramatic increase” in millions of Americans’ exposure to flooding, scientists warned in a federal report published Tuesday.
Climate change driven largely by burning fossil fuels will raise average sea levels adjacent to the U.S. shoreline as much in the next 30 years as they rose in the previous century, according to the study led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Even more certain is the projection that melting ice sheets, heavier rainfall and higher storm surges from rising temperatures risk lives and billions of dollars of property and infrastructure, the scientists wrote.
Tens of millions of people already live in areas of the U.S. at risk of coastal flooding, with more moving to the coasts every year, the report noted. This population migration, combined with rising sea levels and other climate impacts, will increase their vulnerability and the risks of flooding for critical infrastructure affecting sectors such as transportation, energy, water and the military, according to the report.
While coastal cities such as Charleston, S.C., and West Palm Beach, Fla., are likely to experience an increase in damaging high-tide flooding as sea levels rise, the report also warned cities further inland such as Camden, N.J., are increasingly vulnerable to flooding that could overwhelm sewer systems.
“This is a global wake-up call and gives Americans the information needed to act now to best position ourselves for the future,” NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad said in a statement.
Warmists are more than welcome to act in their own lives. Yet, so few do more than minor, token actions in their own lives. This is a call for more Government control and more taxation. Nothing else. And the talking points went out.
There are about 5 pages of links about this bit of scaremongering at Google News. None of them ask relevant questions, such as
- Can you prove this?
- How is this different from previous Holocene warm periods, caused all by nature, where one would expect a foot or more of sea rise per century?
- Why is there fudging of the numbers? You say up to 1 foot: can you be more specific? What’s the low number?
- Who is held responsible if this doesn’t happen?
They won’t ask any questions
The federal government report said high tides and storm surge heights will increase, propelling damaging waters further inland, increasing flooding rates and turning once-dry places soggy.
“Sea level rise driven by global climate change is a clear and present risk to the United States, now and for the foreseeable future,” the report said.
And there it is: the notion that government must take more power and authority to Stop This.
