 New Study Models Shoreline Change in Southern California

Future predictions indicate nearly all the beaches in southern California will experience erosion due to accelerated sea-level rise.

This news article was issued by the U.S. Geological Survey, the California Coastal Commission and the American Geophysical Union (AGU) as a press release on 27 March 2017.
 

Using a newly-developed computer model called “CoSMoS-COAST” (Coastal Storm Modeling System – Coastal One-line Assimilated Simulation Tool), scientists predict that with limited human intervention, 31 to 67 percent of Southern California beaches may become completely eroded (up to existing coastal infrastructure or sea-cliffs) by the year 2100 under scenarios of sea-level rise of one to two meters.

4 years ago scientists claimed the Great Lakes were drying up due to, what else, global warming.  Now, after 3 years of continuous rain, the water is reclaiming, and then some, what "global warming" had taken.  We aren't hearing much about the global warming schtick lately but summer is on it's way.  There are natural cycles which scientists seem not to see.

Oh they can see these cycles, but since these cycles would mess up their predestined conclusions, they are not included in the computer models they use for their doomsday scenarios. Note that EVERY doom and gloom scenario uses a computer model output as proof.

The promotion of Global climate change junk science is big biddness.  These guys are the new mafia.

Eh.  It's SoCal; La La Land.  Don't care.
My political philosophy:

1) I'm not bothering anybody.
2) It's none of your business.
3) Leave me alone!
