News Brief by Kip Hansen — 6 January 2024
The National Public Radio station in San Francisco, California, KQED, created a news piece — Huge waves are crashing on the California coast, in part due to climate change —which ran nationally on “All Things Considered”. The piece starts with:
“JUANA SUMMERS, HOST:
“Giant waves are crashing along the California coast for the second time in two weeks thanks to stormy weather and high sea levels due in part to human-caused climate change.”
It simply is not true that California has “high sea levels” (at all – there are no high sea levels in California, anywhere) and what minor changes California has seen to mean sea levels is not caused by Climate Change, but by long-term geophysical processes, including the slight warming as the Earth comes up and out of the Little Ice Age.
