Sea Level Rise Hits Florida

calamity · Mar 26, 2020

As the virus thrives down in the Sunshine state so too does the sea level rise.

Lessons from the front line — Florida's fight with sea level rise | TheHill

Floridians are experiencing the undeniable impacts of sea level rise firsthand on a daily basis. For Florida’s environment, the signs of danger and damage are everywhere. Saltwater is inundating the Florida Bay, exacerbating an already hyper saline ecosystem and negatively impacting fish stocks and sea grass.

Mangroves, which are estuarine trees that thrive in salty habitats, are creeping northward into the Everglades and taking over critical freshwater habitat that serves as important rookeries for birds and as nurseries for freshwater fish and reptiles such as alligators. In South Florida, rising seas stand to upset the balance between the fresh water and salt water environments, possibly reshaping the bays, wetlands and waterways of the greater Everglades ecosystem.

All of this had been predicted a decade ago. So, for those of us in the know and willing to face the facts, it comes as no surprise.

Florida is 160 miles wide at max.

You’ll still end up paying to keep Florida above water. Did you learn nothing this week?

Wait a minute?

I thought Mangroves were nurseries for fish in the first place?

That is not helping rising sea level

Nope

Idaho could be submerged and it would be weeks or months before anyone noticed.

Global sea levels are and have been increasing at a low rate for several thousand years, since they slowed down at the end of the last ice age, ~12,000 years ago.
Near Miami, Fl the sea level is recorded as increasing at .96 feet per century since before the major CO2 increases on the 1950's.
Were CO2 a major factor in sea level rise, we should see a strong inflection point where the sea level started accelerating, we do not!

You haven't heard we're arguably the most fastest growing state?

Guess not

You haven't heard that Idaho property values have grown more than any other state?

There were mangroves all over the Everglades 43 years ago when I was there for training.

[h=2]New Study: Sea Level Rise Doesn’t ‘Spell Doom’ – Little To No Loss Of Coastal Wetlands Projected By 2100[/h]By Kenneth Richard on 17. September 2018
Another new false-alarm paper reveals that coastal wetlands may not only persist well into the 21st century despite present rates of sea level rise, but the coasts may expand and even prosper due to the natural ability for soil to “build up vertically by sediment accretion”.
