Damn.... 7.5ft above sea level here.
The land here is rising about 1.5" a year. If youre looking for old village sites, you go up the mountainside.
They used to be on the water, now theyre 500' or more above the tidal zone.

And yet Barak Obama bought expensive, low-lying ocean front property in Martha's Vineyard.

I have a simple way to reduce harmful emissions, band junk mail and spam calls. Imagine how many trees could be saved if there was no junk mail. And phone calls and call centers use up electricity which has to be produced by things harmful to the environment.

Why do they get so many predictions wrong? And, they've told us it's too late, we've passed the point of no return.

Yo Curpernicus, Texas is hot as Hades as you say. So tell the class if it has ever been hotter in Texas between now 500,000 years ago? If it was what caused it. Here is a cheat sheet. Climate history didn't start the day you were born.
