climate change

It's smooth-brained climate deniers who are the fools.

Climates may be changing, but as to the oceans rising, I've lived on a rocky island off the coast of Maine for over 45 years, and fished those shores for 36 years, and I've seen the high and low tides all of those years with negligible difference. Discussing it with older generations, they say the same. When I confront "environmentalists" with this, they try to tell me the ocean is rising more in some places than in others. How does that work?

Do you ever spin and hold your arms out? Centrifugal force pulls your arms outward. The same thing happens with the Earth: water bulges around the equator. So no, you wouldn't see more flooding around the coasts of Maine. You're more likely to see changes in sea level in Florida, New Orleans, and Texas; you know - where all the flooding has been happening.

That is absolutely absurd. You Warmists have been predicting for years the most devastating floods would be in NYC. Well the Eastern Seaboard has been sinking a bit....for the last 100K years because of continental shift. As for Florida, it has experienced erosion, but absolutely no measurable actual deeper seas. It simply is not happening at a rate any faster than the last 150 years since the termination of the Little Ice Age. I happen to live in a tropical area. The harbor tide measure has not changed in any measurable sense since it was installed in rock in early 1900s, more than a hundred years ago.
Normally an individual would welcome good news such as that, but it is not so with your sort. Because your agenda is one of control, of feeling that you are somehow in command of the dictates of society.

In order for that to be the case, the Earth would have to be spinning faster than before. Otherwise, water levels would rise uniformly. Those areas you mention are mostly sand, and sand shifts and moves on a regular basis. My reference points are all solid rock.

That's one squishy rock you got there...

So a report from 19 years ago that talks about water rising under 1mm at the equator, 1900 miles from Florida with no updates since then is evidence? Florida is closer to Maine than it is to the equator, so if Florida was seeing the effects of ocean rise measured at the equator, it would seem we would be seeing some of those effects here, as coastal Maine is 3100 miles from the North Pole, half of the distance to Florida.

It is possible, since this report says this phenomena is clearly not caused by climate change, that it got buried by those pushing the climate change agenda, and that could be why we haven't seen any follow up.
