What does this have to do with the subject at hand? Yeah, barrier islands are encroached upon by the sea. That's nature. The islands are built up. Then they are destroyed. That was happening long before animals walked the earth.
Over time, the ocean does destroy wear away beaches.
It's a natural cycle.
Get a geology textbook and read about it.
So the climate in your area has moved around within the last 50 years.
How do you justify extrapolating that into panic?
The world has existed for billions of years. The climate no doubt moves around. To throw around the whole "global warming" thing like some people are doing is nothing but lunacy.
The earth is not a static entity, rather, it is dynamic, meaning it's changing all the time, regardless if humans are on it or not. Why hell in time, our star will turn to a red giant when it's fuel begins to run out and will then envelop it's attending solar system completely (including us) yikes!! So what do you think about that cataclysm? What can we do about it? How can we stop it from happening? Nothing. Living creatures seem so insignificant in the large scheme of things don't they.
Not a lot. Like any other parasite, the Earth will probably find a way to rid itself of us.
Again, the Earth changes ev ery so often. It may just be about time for a change. The poles shift, weather patterns change, desert regions change.
Data shows there is an ice age every 10-15,00 years. It's been 11,000.
Sure has been a lot of snow this year...
Hammer...Nail...head...
What have you done with Jeff, you fiend?!?!
OF course this has to do with Global Warming. Because of the drastic rise in temperature, there are more frequent and more violent storms in the ocean. Transpiration from the higher temp means more water in the atmosphere, and it has to come down someplace. It's just doing so more violently.
See, I can do k00k speak, too...
Of course, the followers of AlGore see the world burning to a cinder. Sorry, not going to happen. Of course there is a change in weather patterns, like there is every few thousands of years. It's just time for a change, and man hasn't a lot to do with it, and can't do a lot to stop it.
In case you missed it, I even explained the heavy snoes this uear in terms AlGore would be proud of...
And AlGore is the head...
The problems the guy is facing are do to the normal changes brought by the ocean. The ocean erodes the beaches. The storms come in cycles. Global warming may or may not have had anything to do with the hurricanes in 2005.
Why would he be proud of your stupidity?
Jeff
One might suspect all that extra moisture in the air would cool the earth.. LOL
What did G.W. Bush do to cause this? We all know it's his fault, all we need to do is figure out how he caused it.
Jack
Not even Super AlGore can save us from this...doom before us.
AlGore can save us from the Sun. He will eat so much that he will grow into a larger buffoon than he already is. His shadow will cast a shade over the Earth that will protect us from the overwhelming heat effects of the Sun.
Actually, quite the contrary. Water holds heat (hence humidity...) the more water in the atmosphere, the warmer it should be.
So why the hell is it SNOWING so much?
Huh? Did you miss it? It was quite a good explaination of why Global Warming is leading to heavy snows. Like I said, AlGore would be proud. I can even explain away record snowfalls via Global Warming.

But it's starting to become obviousl that they are growing weary of this and the writing is on the wall for these barrier islands. The more frequent hurricanes haven't helped either. The property values that used to be escalating constantly are now dropping like a rock and insurance is going out of sight..
