Just to put things BACK into perspective, I noticed there's a large spike near the bay area.
Interesting, it sure looks SEVERE according to that map. Looks really BAD!

As much as I'd love to see Sodom and Gomorrah underwater, I questioned the visual image.

So I checked just to see HOW bad it really was.
According to NOAA,
Sea Level Trends
Quote:
San Francisco, California

The mean sea level trend is 2.01 mm/year with a 95% confidence interval of +/- 0.21 mm/year based on monthly mean sea level data from 1897 to 2006 which is equivalent to a change of 0.66 feet in 100 year
s.

So, the sea level has gone up an average of 2.01 mm per year over the past 120 years or so, but they stopped at 2006. Gee, i wonder why?

That's what, about .078" per year?
Heck, if that were the gap on my piston rings I'd be REALLY NERVOUS!

BTW, here's another important tid-bit that wasn't mentioned previously:

That whole predicted rise in seal levels basically leveled off and stopped about 25 years ago. Sea levels are NOT rising.

Nope, they don't like telling you that, it takes away that fear factor that is necessary for the brainwashing uh I mean manipulating uh I mean re-education, oh call it what ever you want.

Again from NOAA:
Interannual variation since 1980
Take a good look. In fact, over the past 12 to 14 years average sea levels have DROPPED in the San Francisco area. Oh no Sammy, stop it. Make the voices stop, they hate real facts and data!
