We don't even have to go back 100 years, let's just go back 60. https://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/commentary/fl-op-edit-daytona-beach-volusia-county-shrinking-rising-seas-20191213-ixmk3rypcnhsxlgxbupw73zora-story.html Looks like you are, once again, a victim of right wing misinformation. This kind of misinformation is used by both sides. These photos almost never have a reliable timestamp to indicate the position of the tides. Sure, sea levels have been rising as an overall average, around 6 inches over the last 100 years, although these photos appear to show a greater difference over 60 years, hence my scepticism.

Insurance companies (the people whose job it is to know the threat that sea level poses) have this to say about your experience: "The average person visiting a favorite beach or fishing hole surely won’t notice the difference." https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/southeast/2017/07/26/458874.htm#:~:text=NOAA's higher scenario projections indicate,Panama City and Cedar Key.

As the photo evidence shows ... There is no visually discernible difference in photo's that span over 60 years. From the previous link: "The average person visiting a favorite beach or fishing hole surely won’t notice the difference." Quote There is no crisis. No one is drowning from rising sea levels. 76 people died during Ian. Had sea levels been lower, fewer people would have died. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Name calling (including things like accusing people of being sexual deviants because of their political views) is generally going to get a warning. There's more leeway here than in other forums, but it's not endless. Arguments are fair game; calling someone's argument the stupidest thing they've heard all day is just fine. It's way better if data is provided as to why that judgment was made. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you actually expect 'better data' from someone who refuses to answer whether or not he's praise a Democrat in a position of power for the response to a disaster? Especially after giving huge praise to the guy who voted against relief funds for the Northeast after they had a huge storm? Fun fact: Florida's Republican senators sent a letter begging for money in the wake of the storm.THEY DAY AFTER they both voted against funding for... Storm relief.

The idea that the Senators who represent FLORIDA voted against a bill funding storm relief the day BEFORE a major hurricane hits... Florida. Yep, that's pretty stupid. On the same level as someone voting against storm relief funding, then a few years later, when Governor, begs and pleads for aid money. I'm glad I'm not in charge. I'd have told DeSantis something like "I'll tell you what, I'll give you exactly what you were willing to give New York in the wake of Sandy. How about that?" 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since you didn’t quote or refer to a post, I can only assume you’re referring to wolfriverjoe’s post. And since he included a source, I’m not sure what you think is stupid about it. It’s pretty factual. They did vote against the funding bill, disaster relief was in the stopgap funding bill, and they did ask for disaster relief. Wendy P.

You said "Simply go to Daytona beach and look at it ... Then get a photo of Daytona beach 100 years ago... No discernible difference in the coast line." I posted two pictures of a huge difference in the coast line that accompanied a letter from a man who said there was a huge difference. You then said that pictures don't matter. You are arguing against yourself here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
