Well, it is a government data source, who else would they credit? The point is, industry has been doing the heavy lifting and continues to do so as
long as thy have the cash in hand to keep upgrading.
Germany at this point will pay a full 25% of solar energy for residences. Friends over there are certainly taking advantage of it as they are getting
beat up at present.

MTGoat: I too love my induction cooktops for the efficiency improvements they yield. A bit more difficult to get used to especially if you want a slow
simmer. I'm sure they too will improve rapidly as they become more of a standard. An analog trim on the temperature setting would be helpful.

Let’s get back to discussing THE palm tree. Anybody checked in on it since the big hurricane last month? Is it sill standing?
Woke!

The most recent observations both on the Pacific Coast palm tree and NASA's water level charts showed the ocean water levels declining at that
location relative to the tree. No one seemed to have an answer as to why this particular tree was different than the norm as is the west coast of NA.
Land rising due to plate shifts? A trench opening up in the seabed?
Why did we pick this particular tree in the first place?

This is a current photo. It survived but is noticeably closer to the water. Beach erosion?

Looks like the tree closest to water is dieing and about to fall over, probably due to the sea level being so much higher, eh? Sea level sure looks
high in your photo, I don’t think I have ever seen seen it so high!
How long do palm trees live? How many palm trees have lived and died in the period DK and his people have been photographing the trees???
Woke!

Agree, but that's why this whole thread is lame. Oceanography experts would laugh at this. I trust the folks at NASA and NOAA a bit more than a
retired drip irrigation climate change denier.

You can see the normal high tide line... the two kayaks are there and the beach goes from the slope to level..
It's been there since befire cameras were made!
Here is one from 1953 (Howard Gulick). You will notice the canoe also at the normal high tide line:

The seaweed shows you where the high comes up. Compare the two photos I posted. It is much closer to the palm tree now.

In much of the world people use tide gauges and land survey to established datums to record tide elevations, and temporal records to evaluate sea
level change over time 
I wonder if such an approach would provide better data than random undated vacation snapshots of trees and wrack lines? 
Woke!

The water could be up to the palm fronds and some of these jokers would still deny that anything of concern was happening.

Unfortunately the ocean front land could be rising (or falling), storms bringing in more sand or eroding the shore, or the seabed declining at the
same time. Where we are up here on the fault lines, we are steadily rising as we shift, while the other side of the island is falling. I think
satellite measurements are the only way to get an accurate picture of rising global levels. Of course, that doesn't matter much if it's your place
being lost to the rising neighbouring waters.
We built 20 meters above high tide to provide long term security from storm surges and water levels rising.

High tides change every day of the month. Spring tides generate much higher high tides than neap tides.
Nevertheless that dying tree could be a sign.

Did you miss this? Back then you could walk to Catalina as it wasn’t an island!

Not sure what your point is. Isn’t the electricity price (rate) same for Nissan Leaf? Electricity is still cheaper energy than gasoline (esp. if
you have solar at home), and most people that buy hummers really don’t care about fuel economy.
Woke!
