Can somebody educate me on why we are losing coastline.

I thought it was a combination of erosion and man made levies.

It is.

These people think erosion means the sea levels are rising. They've never been particularly bright

Nope not global warming its because the oil & gas companies extracted oil/gas from the subsurface and the land sunk in many areas because of the extracted oil/gas.

All the global warming has melted all the ice, snow, permafrost, etc up north and the massive deluge of southward-moving water is eroding our coastline.


Or something like that

Levees channeling sediment into deep gulf, less sediment in the river, and canals for drilling. Nothing to do with global warming.

I wrote/copied a 20 page term paper in college on the erosion of the outer banks.

Global warming was not one of the scientific reasons given for beach erosion. Apparently scientists and scholars were unaware of the effects that global warming had on coastline until the federal government started dishing out millions of dollars in grants for people to study it.

Waves cause erosion. That said, what proof do they offer that differs from the natural cycles?
