The U.S. Navy’s Biggest Base Is Sinking

Climate change endangers Norfolk.
by Robert Farley

What if the U.S. Navy’s main base in Norfolk, Virginia sinks?

It could happen. And it’s not an isolated problem, as climate change alters coastlines all over the world.

A report  from the American Security Project identifies Naval Station Norfolk as America’s fifth most endangered military base. The report also lists Eglin in Florida, Diego Garcia, Bahrain and Guam as being particularly vulnerable to climate change.

Probably more than any other service—and possibly more than any other government agency—the Navy has taken climate change seriously. The sailing branch is making a long-term commitment to biofuels project as part of its  Green Fleet initiative .

It seems history if full of examples where rivers have changed course, large bodies of land changed shape, castles at the bottom of lakes, etc., and all before "climate change."  Change happens!

Bull$hit!!!!!!!

How about subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal? That is why Houston and the golden triangle area is sinking. I bet that is why Norfolk is sinking. Global Warming has absolutely NOTHING to do with it. They need to get those PC greenie types out of the military.

I hope the US Green Fleet never has to invade England.
