Los Angeles Must Pay Billions to Adapt—or Slip Into the Sea
 
Quote:

According to a new report from the New York Academy of Sciences, it’ll take LA as much as $6.4 billion to fortify itself against an impending increase in coastal flooding, with moves such as nourishing its beaches with extra sand and elevating its ports.

Ok, so LA is slipping into the sea, that's like a reverse hurricane.

Trump could always consider building a second wall, this one being for sea defences though :hmmm:

Well the problem is pretty obvious. Look at a map. California is slanted to the left. There's your trouble. Time to level off a bit. :O:

But how do you fight back against a force like the sea?

geez, do I gotta think of everything?

You move to higher ground or build a boat.

Beach replenishment is conducted here on the east coast. Large ships offshore pump sand in large pipes to the beaches. The process works well but is very expensive.

Man has a penchant building near the oceans. With sea levels having been 300 feet lower than they are now. There must be hundreds of ancient cities underwater far off shore.

The geological viewpoint:
Does the sea level rise, or does the continent drop?
Or both?
Or does the sea rise faster, than the continent?
Or do both drop, but the continent is faster?

If we say the sea level rises, there must be a cause :hmmm:

Overabundance of toilet flushing.

Rockstar 11-01-18 11:29 AM

Causes? :hmmm:, in addition to the overabundance of toilet flushing there's gravity, melankovitch climate cycles, solar radiation, current disarray of earths magnetic field, Atlantic and Pacific decadel oscillations . Lots of reasons why and we find out more everyday, and as much as some would like to think otherwise there isn't one damn thing you can do to change any of it. Like a big truck, going down a big hill, with no brakes, sea levels are gonna rise. So go out buy some mountain property inland while it's still cheap your great, great great grand children will think well of you. Because it will become very costly ocean front property in the near future.


bwuhuhuhaha
:lost: :D

Would the rest of America miss LA if it slipped into the ocean. :hmmm:

The new fear is that an earthquake in LA basin would cause a tidal wave that would hit the Island of Catalina and then bounce back causing untold damage on Long Beach :o

An earthquake along the California coast could pose a greater tsunami threat to the Ventura area than previously understood, according to a new study
Quote:

the study found that tsunami floodwaters could reach points in the Ventura vicinity beyond the area currently marked in California’s official tsunami inundation map. Tsunami wave heights could approach as high as 20 feet in the Ventura Harbor and Channel Islands Beach area near Oxnard.
