Well said Bob.
The Washington Post published an article today titled When sea levels rise, high tides will spill into communities far more often, study says.
What a revelation! It’s almost as foolish as the studies that costs taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars to tell us that heat waves will occur more often (and cold spells less often) in a warming world. A grade schooler could figure those things out.

Bob has a bit more on this. Perfect post title 😂

In case anyone was wondering why we had an unexpected visitor to the comments section:

“…should we not be adapting?”
Are you willing to pay trillions of dollars for seawalls around Florida and the Eastern seaboard?
Dang how did our ancestors cope? Did they do like Al Gore and buy by the sea front?
SEA LEVEL RISE IN FLORIDA
LOCATION DATA YEARS AVERAGE SEA LEVEL RISE
Miami Beach 1931-1981 2.39 mm/year
Daytona Beach 1925-1983 2.32 mm/year
Jacksonville, FL 1928-2006 2.40 mm/year
Vaca Key 1971-2006 2.78 mm/year
Key West 1913-2006 2.24 mm/year
If sea level rise is “part of the multidecadal variations in the North Atlantic ocean temperatures known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation,” why has it kept rising through several cycles of the AMO, and even accelerating (Church and White, Surv Geophys (2011) 32:585–602
DOI 10.1007/s10712-011-9119-1)?
There’s also this recent study: “We provide statistical evidences that the observed SLC [sea-level change], at global and regional scales, is beyond its natural internal variability.” (Becker, M., M. Karpytchev, and S. Lennartz-Sassinek (2014), Long-term sea level trends: Natural or anthropogenic?, Geophys. Res. Lett., 41, doi:10.1002/2014GL061027.)
Why has it been rising for centuries? It also doesn’t address Bob’s point – should we not be adapting?
What data shows sea-level has been rising for centuries?
This doens’t:
It shows sea-level rising about 1 meter in 5000 years, or an average of 0.2 mm/yr. We’re now at 3.2 mm/yr.
Not sure why your replies disappeared maybe wordpress detected the stench.
David – see my previous links especially the Austin Powers reply. Goodbye.
Bob Tisdale’s post is wrong.
Ask yourself: If sea level rise is “part of the multidecadal variations in the North Atlantic ocean temperatures known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation,” as Bob claims, why has it kept rising through several cycles of the AMO, and even accelerating (Church and White, Surv Geophys (2011) 32:585–602
DOI 10.1007/s10712-011-9119-1)?
There’s also this recent study: “We provide statistical evidences that the observed SLC [sea-level change], at global and regional scales, is beyond its natural internal variability.” (Becker, M., M.
