It's the usual doom and gloom.
Climate changes, glaciers advance and recede. The first one shows Las Vegas USA, which I believe has stopped expanding. the last I heard was that the city was having financial problems, and it would be interesting if we could see where the edge of the city is today.

Business owners on the coasts of Florida can tell you what they have experienced with the erosion of the beaches, and what their expectations are for the near future. It was 2009 when I left Florida, in the panhandle and business owners there were talking about a ten year point from then that they expected their businesses to be in imminent danger from rising sea levels.

It was one of the Carolinas that had decided to address the problem of shrinking beach fronts due to global warming by simply not talking about it, and forbidding any further state studies.

The last study I heard was that the increase was miniscule. I don't have time to look it up right now, but it seems this is just more global dumbing nonsense.

Yes, of course, people who actually are experiencing the effects of what you dismiss are less credible than the last study you saw that affirmed what you already wish to believe.

That won't solve the problem.

That's because they don't believe there really is a problem.
