U.S. East Coast a Hotspot of Sea-Level Rise

Posted by timothy on Tuesday June 26, 2012 @04:36AM from the because-of-all-the-sand-pumping-projects dept.

Harperdog writes "Nature just published this study of sea-level rise and how global warming does not force the it to happen everywhere at the same rate. Interesting stuff about what, exactly, contributes to this uneven rise, and how the East Coast of the U.S., which used to have a relatively low sea level, is now a hotspot in that the sea level there is rising faster than elsewhere."

Right even the head line is bias, sea-level rise is liberal talking point, if they want us to take the article seriously they should use politically neutral language like "persistent coastal flooding".

...As always, more money and power for the government!
Color me surprised!
That seems to be a real popular and universal solution for just about every problem these days, especially among politicians and those on the Left. It seems like every problem...from racism, domestic violence, and economic downturn, to global warming, poor little Trayvon, and terrorism...ALL can be solved, Citizen! Just give us your money & freedom! We'll even throw in some food stamps!
Hey, it's worked great in the US for ~100 years, right? Just look what it's done for Detroit just since 1961!
