re: #378 docremulac

Large bridges all over the world are among the most photographed objects on earth. Their pilings are very visible in these photographs and the amount of concrete rising above the waterline is very easy to measure and scale even from a great distance away since the concrete is lighter than the water.

Any evidence of the concrete above the waterline of famous bridge footings growing shorter? I’ll hazard a guess. No.

Our local famous bridge, the Golden Gate is only 70 years old but isn’t that the period of time during which all this Republican caused climate destruction has taken place? I’m sure we could compare high waterline pics from 70 years ago to now. I’m not interested in doing this myself any more than I’d waste time researching someone’s psychic abilities, but it’s something to look at if people were interested.

Sea level rise so far has been minuscule. The twice-daily variation between high and low tide would drastically overshadow any rise in sea level we’ve seen so far. Without thousands of photos, meticulously clocked in and carefully correlated to the times of high and low tide, you’d learn nothing. And even if you did all that, you’d still learn very little, because for any one point on the shore, it may be that the ground itself has shifted up or down a bit. Land that used to be under glaciers, for instance, is still rebounding, ten thousand years after the retreat of those glaciers.
