The Guardian, Jan. 29, 1974, echoed the Globe: “Spy Satellites Show New Ice Age is Coming Fast.” I wish they would just make up their minds. Are we going to freeze to death or are we going to burn to death. I need to plan my wake and need to let people know if they will need a parka or sunscreen.
Yeah, it goes to show that liberals, in spite of their words, really aren't concerned about rising sea levels. Instead of listening to what they say, watch what they do.
@@consco3667 They bought another coastal property after Martha's Vineyard right down by the coast on an Island in Hawaii so they have at least 2 coastal properties.
It's funny that whenever the weather gets cold, we are lectured that you can't say that global warming doesn't exist based on isolated incidents, but whenever a severe storm hits, we are lectured that it is because of global warming.
@@rschiwal I don't know how people in the UK can believe in it as we have had the wettest, coldest, cloudy summer that I can remember with Spring the same. Hardly any Sun or very changeable days. Keep on taking your vitamin D.
The one that annoyed me the most was when the US was hit with an incredibly bitter winter and the 'scientists' said, :Oh...we were expecting this..." and NObody questioned them on why they didn't SAY they were expecting this...until it came.
Storms are actually less frequent and less severe in recent years than in decades past. The only reason for so much more damage being done is that people have built homes and businesses in areas that people who came before them were smart enough not to build in.
@@leialee6820 We've had the rainiest Spring of the past 70 years. The majority of Spring rains are usually over by the end of April, but this year it rained more than two-thirds of the days in May and June. Given that we live in a subtropical area, the unusual humidity combined with the heat to make outdoor activities unbearable.
Market manipulation... It's how they get the seller to lower his price, through fear and intimidation. i.e. I'm not paying that price, your house is in a flood zone...

I live in southeast Texas, and all of last week the hurricane reporters continued to cite, "climate change" as the reason we have warmer waters in thr gulf. They can't tell you where a hurricane is going to make landfall an hour before it hits, but we should definitely believe them about climate change.
We have warmer waters globally. You can find charts (google 'average sea temperature chart' for example) and the last two years are significantly warmer than all previously recorded years. There is a very big difference between the ability to record sea temperature and the ability to forecast where a hurricane might go. Hurricane Beryl broke records (related to our recorded history) and is the earliest category 4 hurricane on record. It also became the earliest category 5 hurricane on record. Of course, any individual event could be by chance, but when you accumulate so many events that are worse than average, you can begin to understand that a portion of these would not have occurred naturally. These are warning shots across our bow, and it's the conservatives and their voters that are ignoring it. If you are wrong, then you won't go down well in history. It's one thing to be skeptic, it's another thing to ignore what world wide science is telling you.
@@arnoldpainal5885 Yes: first was overpopulation, later a new glaciation, later the ozone layer and CFC, later Chernobyl, later global warming, later CO2 and now plainly climate change (the usual elevator conversation).
The Maldive’s, in the Indian ocean, is an archipelago of 1192 islands that is barely 3 feet above sea level.40 years ago they appealed to the United Nations for funding to fight the disappearance of the islands which were near sinking into the sea because of catastrophic anthropogenic CO2 mediated climate change and rising sea levels.The Maldives have been given millions by the United Nations to help them fight climate change and now 40 years later the islands have been severely impacted with only 1192 islands left,but with 3 new airports and a booming tourism based economy.Makes your heart bleed doesn’t it
@@vendomnu Obviously you know nothing about geology.I can assure you the islands aren’t being“lifted up” by a few reef fish browsing on the coral.Look up a little geologic feature isostatic rebound.This is most common in areas where heavy ice sheets once predominated or dried up lake beds but their extent can reach the tropics since entire continental plates are involved.
@@lv4077 You don't know what an atoll is and you try to come off as knowledgeable? The Maldives are literally an atoll and atolls are made from the corals after being shat out by fish. Namely Parrotfish, as is the case for the Maldives. Poop.
@@lv4077 Did you just report the post I made pointing out that you don't know that the Maldives are an atoll chain and that they consist of excreted coral sand? Shame, dude. At least take it on the chin.
@@vendomnu I suppose the Maldives were formed over the last couple hundred years?There’s no doubt the mechanism you propose exists but I can assure you that mechanism takes millions of years to make any significant change.Apparently you believe the coral mechanism explains why the Maldives are still above sea level.Do you not understand plate tectonics or are trying to propose a novel new mechanism for island formation?
I live in Australia, big island, next to the river, next to ocean Tide levels haven't changed. Millionaires still building as close to the water as possible.
We are currently burdened with a large cohort of dishonest duplicitous politicians who are colluding with ridiculous and economically destructive popular delusions pertaining to the Earth’s climate and renewable energy technology.
There is lots of evidence to prove it isn’t. If you go to the island of Tasmania in Australia there is an old penal colony set up in 1830, convicts from England were sent there. It is on the coast. There is a set of stairs chiseled in the harbor that is submerged at high tide. The convicts carved high and low tide marks into the rocks and those marks correspond almost exactly to the same tides today. It’s uncanny.
@@AscheOfTheLake 100% right. My family has had the same house on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia for over 60 years and the water levels haven't changed on the pilings since the pier was built 60 years ago. But the beach has eroded a little in some areas, but water level has no change.
@@andytn6507 Same thing here in Norway, still uses the same stone Jetty that my grandfather built in his youth. No change can be seen. (other than normal tide changes.)
And yet, more and more people are living in coastal regions! As of 2020, approximately 130 million Americans live by the coast! So much for rising sea levels!👍
I am an older man, who has lived on a beach property for the last 37 years. I also worked on the ocean and in a fish factory on the shore from 27 years. Our lives revolve and depended on tide charts and knowing the ever changing water levels, so I can safely say, I know a bit about the ocean, at least in my part of the world. So I can tell you…..without question….that the sea level in this part of the world has not changed one inch in the last 37 years. Yes….we have had some very significant storms, with tidal surges and pounding waves, which over that time has taken away about 10 feet from the end of my lawn. BUT…….the tides have remained exactly the same. As I mentioned already, I worked in a sardine factory and have worked building herring weirs and also worked on lobster boats and ocean salmon farms. All these industries rely on accurate tide charts as tools of the trade. If tides were ever changing it would be impossible to get anything accomplished. I also a set of pictures online recently that shows the island the Statue of Liberty is on. The two pics were taken 80 years apart. The water level is exactly the same. Interesting.😜🇨🇦
I was a sailor for many years in the Coast Guard. I was stationed from one ship to another ship to a small station next to the water to another place next to the water. What I noticed is that from what I can tell the sea level has neither risen nor fallen, not even a quarter of an inch during the past 40 years. When I was in high school they told us in physics class in the early 70’s is that the sea level was going to rise by 3 feet, the polar caps were going to melt, and all our coastal cities were going to flood. From my perspective based on my observation of critically, looking at what the so-called experts were telling us is that our ocean level did not rise. It’s probably not going to rise significantly anytime for the rest of my life. Probably not during the lives of my children. Our world may or may not be warming up, but i cannot trust the government or the so-called “experts they pay to give their opinion. It all seems to me to be fear mongering in order to manipulate the people of the world into agreeing with the climate change people to pass legislation and rules that make our life harder to just live and eat and house ourselves. The ruling class seems to be using climate change as an agenda to control to world.
There are islands along the coast of Louisiana which have been shrinking for decades. The global alarmists love these islands, identifying them as victims, and proof, of rising sea levels. In fact, they are victims of damming the Mississippi River valley. All those islands are essentially sandbars formed by sediments carried down the river and deposited in the Gulf Of Mexico. Dams have reduced those deposits so those islands are now shrinking. I lived on the Gulf coast, not far from some of those islands, 70 years ago. Our house was about 20 feet above sea level. It still is.
Back in the 70's there was a tv program about a group of people living on an island and they found evidence that the island was going to eventually covered with water until they realized that Gilligan was moving the stick they used to measure the water depth further out into deeper water because the lobster trap was attached to it.
Finally some truth. I live on an island and my property's backyard is a mangrove tidal marsh. A so called environmentalist Dr. (emphasis on the mental) says the mangroves were dying because of climate and rising sea levels. When pointed out to her that the dead mangroves and button wood trees were dead because of 3 hurricanes in (1987, 2003 and 2006) had sent huge waves into the bay and showed her the photos that I had taken before and after the hurricanes, she got nasty. Guess the truth hurt her funding. Yeah I did go public with my photos. The nice part is most of the area in question has loads of new growth and I have seen zero increase in the sea levels. My wife's dad put a sea level post in the marsh back when he was a young man (1930's -40s) and it shows maybe a 1/2" increase, if that.
Whether or not the sea has risen or the marker has sunk is no indication of climate change!! The seas once covered most of the land mass where billions of people now live. If we are fortunate enough to live long enough we will all witness changes to our environment. It’s called nature.
The street where I grew up on Long Island, NY was 3 feet above sea level. I still live there and it is still 3 feet above sea level. I am 70 years old. My mom still lives there as well and she is 101 and it was 3 feet above sea level when she was a child as well.
@@arnoldpainal5885 When I said I live on an island (Bermuda Islands) I meant it. We are 20 miles long and a mile wide at its widest. We have spring tides that can flood the town square in St. George's and the rare king tides that can raise the sea level by 2-3 feet but everything returns to normal a few days later. So, no biggie.
I worked for 20 years, on Hydrographic Survey Ships, that measure the depth of the water for the production of Nautical Charts. Never in that time did we ever consider selling our houses that sit all of 2 meters above the Coral Sea.

I live in South West Victoria. There's two islands off our coast. One is connected by a bridge and is open to the public. Another, called Middle Island, can be reached at low tide, sometimes only ankle deep but at other low tides up to the waste. There was a fairy penguin colony on the island but only a few survived because foxes came over at the lowest tide. The authorities fenced off the island, eradicated all the foxes and gave the penguins guard dogs. A movie, Oddball, was made about this. Anyway, the long winded point that I am making is that apart from the regular tides, it's just as easy to walk to Middle Island today as it was in 1972, when I first walked out there. The sea levels have not risen.
RU-vid has posted a climate change statement above the comments, which needs to be edited to say, "Human activities are believed to be," rather than "have been," which misleads the reader to think that climate change is mainly caused by humans. There is no evidence for the main cause of climate change being humans. That is a hypothesis, not a conclusion.
I’ve lived on a Caribbean island, off and on, over 25 years. After many hurricanes coming through, some beaches lose most of their sand. But, in a few weeks, it comes back. The sea level is not rising! In college, I attended the first Earth Day celebration and according to the promoters, Florida should’ve all been under water for decades now. Climate changes, then it changes again.
I have lived on a boat for 25 years and worked as a maritime captain for 20 years. The reference point for sea level has not changed. If the water is rising, it's not obvious or it's too small to notice.
Very interesting. I watched an interview with Peter Ridd (Tom Nelson interview I think) explaining how the Great Barrier Reef is in no trouble and that bleaching is cyclical. Tony H also comments on the Maldives development and sea levels worldwide. The Hawai comments are new information to me, good to know. Thanks Linnea and Heartland.
One of the biggest way you know all of this has been overblown are insurance rates. The fact that insurance rates haven't risen to absurd levels on EVERY coastal city means the people actually keeping track of real metrics of risk have done their assessments and not drawn the same conclusions as the hyperbolic fearmongers. Buying a house in the California hills where mudslides and wildfires are? You have a MASSIVE insurance cost. Buying on the coast? Relatively far less .
According to Nils-Axel mörner, some scientists sided with alarmist views got rid of trees at a beach so that the sea would wreck a beach where they did measures. "For science!"
Sounds like they did it for self survival. These people live off government grants that will disappear if the evidence is allowed to tell the truth. Pretty incredible circular climate change economy sucking taxpayers dry while the elitists just keep buying their waterfront properties.
No, no, no, this is all wrong. Islands float, so no matter what happens with sea levels, islands will just keep floating as they always have. This is both fact and science! Hank Johnson, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives (from Georgia) as much as said so in his prior statements/questions in a congressional hearing. In fact, according to Hank, it appears a bigger risk for islands, say, Guam specifically, is that they tip over or capsize. This could happen if a lot of people are concentrated on one side of the island all at the same time.
It’s interesting how people’s political persuasions determine whether they buy into all this climate change/global warming hysteria, or whether they use common sense. And realize that it’s all about government funding.
I listened to a scientist who did 3 trips to Antarctica. The first trip they placed a marker at low tide. 30 years later the level had not changed. Antarctica is the best place to do this as tides don't vary as much. Yes, glaciers melt, ice caps shrink but islands sink.
I started looking a while back into the aerial survey work done by US Army in the 40s during the Pacific campaign. Funafuti airstrip in Tuvalu was on a fairly limited stretch of land. It's now a substantial area, as the surrounding area has linked up with other low-lying reefs and grown above the storm surge mark. I recently reviewed fresh water lens project development on Kiritimati island. It's more resilient than 20 years ago. The government is rolling out planning for population movements from Tarawa out to 2050. It is not under threat of sea-level rise. The facts on the ground are at variance to the statements by the governments. Why? My pick is incentives, but I'm open to alternatives.
Look at the Venice, Panama, and Suez Canal water levels. Boston, Sidon, Alaska, and many other regions are showing receding oceans, not rising. It is the opposite of what we are being told. How can the oceans rise when nearly all moisture at the poles is locked up? Northern hemisphere reservoirs are full. Snowpacks have been record setting. The oceans cannot be rising. Global temperatures are cooling.
Well, I happened to flip to Nickeloden and witnessed the Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, and Sponge Bob on a carbon crusade teaching toddlers about their carbon footprint. Contrary to popular belief, perception does not necessarily reflect reality or truth. Keep up the good work!
One of the problems with climate "alarmism" is that the average climate alarmist can spout a dozen scary things in 3 minutes - while it takes 3 minutes to explain why just one of them isn't as clear-cut scary as the alarmist wants you to believe.
@@NoHairMon Indeed. Actual scientists use computer simulations of the real world to justify experiments in the real world to prove or disprove the predictions of their theories. Climate scientists use computer simulations of the real world to make predictions - and that's it.
I own a house built in 1932 , it was built almost on a mud flat on the SF Bay Area . It’s about 4’ Above sea level it’s still a 4’ above sea level.just saying.
I vacation in Aruba for the last 24 years there has been an engine block in the sea next to our resort, I know typical Aruba. At high tide 25 years ago you could see a couple inches of the engine block. This year in 2024 you can still see a couple inches of the engine block. There has been zero increase in sea level. If the seas were rising I would not be able to see it anymore.
There's a diffrence between people who see a need for global change and do something about it and those who expect other people to be blamed and they are the ones who need to fix it.
What need do you see and what strategy should we follow. In my view, our world is in constant conflict and 99% of it is out of humanity's control. PS. That constant conflict results in more positives than negatives. A bit like chaos theory.
@@jamesgreig5168 When we live a life of being a victim, we never have to change, the perpetrator does. The way to end being a victim is realizing you are master of your fate and we get here with forgiveness.
I can’t help wondering if many of these scientists who are so concerned about climate change, are actually concerned about the condition of the planet, or the condition of their job. No crisis = no grants = no job.
Careful, there is one place that actually is sinking into the sea, but it is because they built so much on it that the weight is causing the problem, just like Manhattan Island.
The NZ geological survey recently carried out a survey of the Pacific islands and found that most islands were either stable or have even grown in size! So the stories of rising sea levels are actually ridiculous.
I visited Tuvalu in 1996 for 3 weeks. We were the 3rd and 4th tourists to visit the country that year by June. We landed on a Sunday and by Tuesday there was a full-blown cyclone that swept across one of the southern Islands but we were completely safe on Funifuti. The reef protected us and the lagoon on the other side is huge. A wonderful part of the world. Yes it is not much more than a metre above sea-level but as you said mother nature looks after the islands by moving sand and coral grown to assist with the elements. And yes Tuvalu is still there, not beneath the oceans.
From WC, Thank you for some truth about the Earth and climate as time goes by! We hear so much gloom and doom from certain news and political sources a person would think the Earth is going to end soon! Information from scientific sources are refreshing!
Great Barrier Reef currently has largest rates of growth on record, Mauritius land mass has grown 8% in last 10yrs, arctic ice is 23% greater than any previous records
If all of the ice on either of the poles of our planet, where, to completely melt, there would be an absolutely negligible amount of increase in the level of the seas and oceans. All we have to do is mathematically figure how much water is contained within that ice realize that it would also create an ocean at the places where that ice existed as well as atmospheric conditions that would be exactly the opposite at the other pole, causing ice to form there. Not to mention the increase of rainfall over landmasses, humidity in the atmosphere, vast increases in plant life as well as animal life, which would take up that water. The only thing that would happen is the water from the melt off, would simply displace itself, and the rise of the oceans and seas would be absolutely negligible. do the math, especially if you disagree with me.
Ask the "sinking Islands" for their climate records over the past 100 years. Same as country areas that haven't been concreted over. In the 70s the temps FELL!
What I don't understand is how sea levels can rise differently on one coast to another. Doesn't water find its own level? No matter how much I try I can't get the water level to change at one end of my bath tub than the other.
The land and hence the coast are moving all of the time and in some areas the land is moving faster than the sea is rising. If the land stopped moving then the rising sea levels would start to change coastlines.
@@longdang2681 Still don't get it. If it is the land that is moving then how is that rising sea levels caused by ice melting? The original question remains, how does the sea level rise in one place differently to another?
@@shovelguggelheim8454 Melting ice means more water. The land container holding that water is constantly changing. Coastal heights change. Think of it like tying a marker to a growing tree(remember Roald Dahls Twits and the shrinking walking stick trick?). What coastal land that was at sea level might be 2 meters above sea level a few decades later. In some places the land is physically being forced to move up vertically faster than the sea level rise(due to the increase in water created by the ice melting). They exaggerate the impact of the ice melting(it's something like two feet per century). The sea level rises equally in all coastlines across the globe, but the coastlines have changed more due to the land moving the coastlines. The important thing to notice is that whilst the amount of water is increasing, it is done so at such a minor rate that other factors are usually more important in determining whether a coastal region gets flooded or not.
@@longdang2681 That's my point. We are constantly being told that the sea level is rising faster in some areas it makes it sound like the water level is rising faster there when in fact it is the land that is moving. Surely they wouldn't play with words to panic people, would they?
Could be worse in Victoria we constructed a huge desalination plant because the government were told by climate experts that we could run out of water because of climate change and global warming ; we were also told there would be no snow by now : today dams are overflowing snow is falling on every snowfield and the desalination plant has sat idle for 20 years
The Arctic. Greenland and Antarctica are melting rapidly. Sea levels will rise at an increasing rate, and keep on rising after 2100. In the last 45 years the summer Arctic ice volume has declined by a massive 70%.
I have lived on the beaches in Mt Maunganui. There is no difference in our tidal waters, inlets, or rainfall. Observable period = 52 years. I am 63. However, when I travel to USA, UK, all I ever see are 1. Clean clouds and skys in the morning 2. Contrails progressing during the morning 3. Diffused clouds covering the sky by night. Its as if the clouds melt into dust. Is that 'science' at work again? Every time I see a problem, I find science at its cause.
I have to say I can't stand that "looking at the wrong camera" camera angle, I find it really distracting and I don't understand why people use it so much. I guess it must make people look like they're being interviewed even if theyre not? 🤔
Here on the Pacific coast of Canada the land is still coming up after being pushed down by so much ice 20,000 years ago,it varies depending on how thick the ice was,this can be measured by the age of organic material.some areas had much less ice.Google

I learned long ago that certain people mistook erosion for sea waters rising and/or islands sinking. Popular tourist areas will dig sand from one spot and bring it to the beaches to replace the sand that's eroded away, expanding the beaches.
Sea level rise is such a joke. How easily people have fallen for MMCC is a sick joke. But the joke's on those who don't know it's our externally powered sun controlling climate, and if anything, we're due a pole shift, global tsunami, and ice age, though with any luck not as intense as the Gothenburg excursion, but we'll see. I realize research on the internet is increasingly difficult, but that's no excuse.
