That is probably one of the strongest arguments standing in for your prognation. I'm a land surveyor on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. And every time they come in and do what is called Beach nourishment which means bringing in more sand. The natural action of the tides and storms drags all that sand out and builds shallow Shoals offshore very flat which allows the next storm to come in even further with the title rise to do more damage to the shore. I've been doing this for 30 friggin years plus and I see it every day. Unless you have a beach covered with Boulders and rocks where you need army boots to walk. It makes good for the large sea clams on the Cape Cod Bay Side where the water is frigging cold and it does well for the quahogs on the south side of the cape. Better than half the work we do is the seaside work on million dollar properties (hello TT, sounds like you've seen it) where is the people have the money to get the permits to do the work only to see Mother Nature drag it back out. From what I have seen the ocean has risen 8 in in the last 50 years or so. And is more or less stable. They say the ocean Rises by 1.5 millimeters to 2 millimeters per year. Ever notice liberal experts need bulshit for an agenda to suck the money out of the average person being your taxpayers.
