Bajafam,

Your then and now beach pictures show clearly how all that speculation about shell beach and global warming was sheer nonsense.

Thank you for the post.


the typical cycle is beaches accumulate sediment in summer (small wave action), lose sediment in winter (large wave action), but each beach can vary.

the dynamic nature of beaches and estuaries is poorly (not) understood by a certain bloviating shell island booster, and his opinions of global warming on basis of shell island observations are utter nonsense.


Yup, instead of watching Algore movies, I actually GO to the beach... the same beach for over 30 years... and it is still there... the salt flats that are flooded by only the highest tides... are STILL only flooded by the highest tides... Concrete pads (that don't rise and fall) are still the same elevation above sea level... and this is throughout Baja (and the world)... talking about measurable change greater than the length of a cigarette.

I know it serves your masters to spread fear, create laws, raise taxes, restrict freedom... on the lie of man made climate change. I use common sense and personal observation and am not trying to scare anyone or take their rights away.

Beach erosion happens all the time... and it eats up property or it builds up sand... but the level of the ocean is unchanged... and in a place that has a 20 foot daily rise and fall in sea level... the length of a cigarette is unchanged!


As the world warms, sea levels could easily rise three to six feet this century. But increases will vary widely by region, with prevailing winds, powerful ocean currents, and even the gravitational pull of the polar ice sheets determining whether some coastal areas will be inundated while others stay dry.




Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Seriously, DK? Global warming is a joke, because it has not yet directly affected your life? That surprises me-hope you at least err on the side of caution.
