Regarding using old pics of bridge pilings to mark sea level rise

“…sea level rise has been minuscule…”

Well, yes that’s my point. But drastic sea level rise (presumably the kind we care about) would be documented in the thousands of photographs taken of these bridges. To get useful information out of these pictures taking tides into consideration might be tricky but not impossible if you were motivated (and bored)

Angle of the sun for time of day and the date on the picture for example. I assume you can project tide charts back as far as you want. You may or may not be able to get info about inches of sea rise, but I was talking more about the large changes liberals say are happening.

But none of that is really necessary, I’m sure we keep sea level records and the amount of variation is inconsequential. The idea of looking at landmarks to see if they get covered with water is only something you’d do if catastrophic sea level rises were occurring, and they aren’t.

So yes, a better way to check sea levels would be to check with the people keeping those records. Unless they’re owned by the Democrats, then I wouldn’t trust them if they told me the sun was coming up in the morning.
