Thank you surfhat, but not only a Palm Tree, over 60 years old, that was a foot or two above high tide in 1953, but is still a foot or two above high
tide... but also huge rocks, the old main road to La Paz, other places throughout Baja on the sea (Alfonsina's, Puertecitos hot springs, the list goes
on and on of solid items on the high tide line, that STILL are not underwater. If the sea level was indeed higher (and sea level is a worldwide
reference point) why are not these places, the salt flats, and launch ramps, etc. under water?
It has already been mentioned that many islands made of coral or volcanic materials are sinking, naturally... which of course looks to people on these
island like the ocean is rising. |
