Re: South Florida Beach Emergency
I live right on/off A1A in Northern Florida and have seen Zero changes - No flooding.

Now, after that storm at the beginning of the summer (was it Amelia? I can't recall, sorry) we did have AWFUL Flooding and it was so profound I posted pics of it on Fbook. We even 'surfed the tube' in my CAR & I have a great photo of it -- with the wave going over the top of the roof of my Eos!

But during and after Sandy....Nothing. We were busy praying for NY, NJ and all our friends up North, on the Northern Atlantic Coastline.

Those pics of Ft. Lauderdale ARE disturbing, and I truly hope & pray that we don't have to deal with that here, but at this time, all of our beaches/coastline are the same as always. No flooding, no encroaching, no unusual erosion.

I live in area in question and drive it daily, has nothing to do with anything other than the City of Fort Lauderdale failing to properly maintain its beaches and dunes (of which there are now none). End of story, nothing to see here other than corrupt bloated local bureaucracy full of fat and happy do nothings. Global warming / climate change my white tan lined butt.

Beach erosion, how about sea level rise!
 Quoting: --Voltaic--


Exactly, and it's along the WHOLE beach. THe beach was somewhat shorter there, so it got affected easier.. I went from 3 miles south and then up to another 3 miles north and I'm telling you guys, the beach is affected EVERYWHERE.

The news stories are bullshit and failing to mention this. In some areas, yes, the water is FAR from the roads still, however, the beach itself is at least 50 to 100 feet shorter..

Something is up. There has been no storms, no severely windy weather like they claim. People are so fucking ignorant, making excuses, talking about how to use "preventative planning" for when this happens in the future, etc..

What they AREN'T talking about is that it hasn't stopped! Tis isn't a matter of erosion simply decreasing the beach. It's clearly a matter of the water itself rising, moving farther inland and obviously, yes, decreasing the beach area naturally. I honestly think people are in for a big surprise if they think this can be dredged, or that sand can be added, etc..

The high water is here to stay in my opinion and it's only going to increase by the day.

 Quoting: --Voltaic--


Could Sandy have been artificially augmented (or even created) to masquerade, among other purposes, what was already becoming noticeable in terms of rising sea levels along selected coastlines? What a convenient, readily available excuse for this influx of sea water? And with an already destroyed (in select areas) ocean front, the coming change wouldn't be so glaringly obvious? Just my 2 cts.

Re: South Florida Beach Emergency
Two main factors contributed to observed sea level rise. The first is thermal expansion: as ocean water warms, it expands.

The second is from the contribution of land-based ice due to increased melting

Between 1870 and 2004, Global average sea levels rose 17 cm

From 1950 to 2009, measurements show an average annual rise in sea level of 1.7 ± 0.3 mm with satellite data showing a rise of 3.3 ± 0.4 mm from 1993 to 2009, a faster rate of increase than originally estimated.

Most all of Florida is sea level with the highest part being around 10 foot above sea level somewhere near Orlando if memory serves me right.

The entire population of Florida is going to soon be very surprised that they have been floated out into the ocean.

The people will always deny this and stay til the bitter end or the drowning end.

I figured out what is I don't like about South Florida. It is the Humans here. Sandy cleaned the trash from the beaches and washed it on down to the Intracoastal Waterway. Sure it lost a little sand but nothing a few mil and a bulldozer can’t fix.

We have been dealing with this since Sandy. The roads by the beaches are flooded and now they have to make A1A a one way street. Scary stuff.

I love this quote from this story:

"I don't know what they are going to do about it, but it's gotten worse every day since Sandy," said Andrea Williams.

I don't know who "they" is but I'm pretty sure "they" can do nothing if the ocean is swelling of the level is rising. People are fucking oblivious.
 Quoting: civilxdisguise


Yeah they are. In NJ, there's a place where the ocean made an inlet into the bay. It was like that before people started overbuilding on the barrier island. Now they're trying to push the ocean back. Good luck on that.

I don't think anyone here would disagree that the climate IS changing. However, MY (and many others') issue is that it is NOT caused by farting cows, exhaling, or not buying a Prius. I fail to see how raising taxes, or charging industries for CO2 emissions (which are actually GOOD for plants - they suck it in, and give us Oxygen back) is going to make any difference other than enriching a few people at the top. At one time, most of the U.S. was covered by a three-mile-thick sheet of ice, and Antarctica was once a tropical jungle. While it is always a good idea to leave as light a "footprint" as possible, I'm really doubtful that human activity makes all that much of a difference one way or the other. The lesson here is to adapt or disappear, and at least for now "adapting" may involve moving inland from ALL of the coasts.

Or not.
