learned - that temperature records for San Jose, California's third largest city, only go back a bit over a century.
I have lived near "sea level" for 45+ years. We have several coastal wetlands, estuaries, rivers, etc.
From Long Beach to Newport Beach. I have paid attention, including years working with petroleum engineers, geologist, taking classes, watching the local ecology debates.
If my local safety was in jeopardy I would have fears, but instead, silence.
They have reintroduced tidal flushing into rstored wetlands, which I supported/support.
The unintended consequence is a lot of coyotes, and other critters, pushed out of their habitats, into mine.
