Still name calling. Rich, says the water level is rising in our area..and I have to agree.

Interesting in that 'sea level' is a world wide point of reference. Elevations of mountains are "above sea level", etc. So, other than normal
fluctuation such as tides, and atmospheric pressure changes, how is it the 'sea level' on one side of Baja is rising... but not on the other???
Pompano's old house at El Coyote, Alfonsina's Resort, the Puertecitos hot springs, etc. ... all places at or just above the sea level 40 or more
years ago... are STILL at or just above sea level???
Maybe, there is a tectonic tilt going on, and Abreojos, Asuncion, etc. are being dipped into the sea?

Even the most ardent now say there is climate change and rising tide...just not man made. Get with the program david.

Name calling is ok so long as I'm doing the calling...

So the measured rate of 3.5 mm ocean rise (global mean sea level) per year is pure BS?

The Sky is not Falling, even if it is not a lie...
3.5 mm or about 1/8" per year rise...? That's destroying a beach camp?
In 50 years, that is under 7 inches total.
The tide rises and falls in "feet" every day.
Next!

OK. we got that settled. It is rising. So now we can move on to coastal impacts. do you agree that a 1 inch rise in ocean has an exponential
increase in the amount of land consumed, depending on land and ocean terrain?

I have not said things are not changing, including climate... what I do believe is that things have ALWAYS been changing... way before man was here or
burning fossil fuels. To blame man for any change in global climate now, or to think man is greater than God (Nature) and can reverse the natural
change is ludicrous. Taxing Americans or paying for "carbon units" to Al Gore is also bordering on insanity to think giving money to democrats will
change the climate!
I can show you places 300 feet above sea level (today's sea level) with sea shells that are a few million years old. At your rate of 3.5 mm per year
(if unchanged), in 26,125 years from now, the sea level will return to that point.
How many feet higher can the sea level go before homes at Alfonsina's will have daily high tide lapping at their porch? Well, if the homes are let's
say just 5 vertical feet higher than the normal high tide, then it will take 435 YEARS to get there.
Next!

Difficult to understand because there was NOTHING offensive in that post that disappeared.
Strange, indeed
