A $9.4 billion sea wall for Delaware?

As Delaware and other states come to grips with the effects of sea level rise, we can expect to see some dire predictions.

One example came out earlier this year in a study from the Center for Climate Integrity,which partnered with Resilient Analytics. The message – Delaware needs to “build the wall.”

The center, which leans well to the left and isn’t talking about that wall, blames big oil for global warning and wants the Exxons and Shells of the world to pay up.

The study claims seawalls will be needed to protect the nation’s lowest-lying state. The cost – a whopping $9.4 billion.

Soon enough the public will realize it is too late for Delaware. Move towards the mountains soon.

Just where is the sea level rising? Point to just one specific spot where the sea level has risen in recorded history. Go ahead, I'm waiting.

And I mean sea level rise, not land subsiding because of erosion. I'm still waiting.

Hey doofus, the same folks who do the measurements demonstrating subsidence are the same folks bringing you measurements showing sea level rise. Stop cherry picking facts and for the life of me, read the whole book, not just skim the purty pictures, before you spout off.

And now we know the REAL reasons for the global warming/ climate change narrative: it's all about extracting money from the corporate 'monsters' and redistribution to universities and nonprofits. It's all about money and who controls it.

All along the Outerbanks. Cape Hatteras lighthouse had to be moved because of it.

Duh,the sea level on the Outer Banks has not risen one inch. The beach eroded away because of wave action. Nice try, though.

No scientist or "expert" has ever demonstrated where sea level has actually risen at Cape Hatteras or anywhere else in the world.

The lighthouse was moved due to erosion. Look it up. "In 1999, with the sea again encroaching, the Cape Hatteras lighthouse had to be moved from its original location at the edge of the ocean to safer ground. Due to erosion of the shore, the lighthouse was just 15 feet (4.6 m) from the water's edge and was in imminent danger."

Storms continuously batter the shore line down there. A storm comes in...batters the ocean side and it pushes the water our out of the sound......and then after the storm leaves that water comes rushing back in. That is usually what causes most of the flooding. It comes from the sound....not the ocean. I have to give NCDOT credit. They are the fastest I have seen with keeping open a road or fixing a road.

iv'e been hearing about the rising ocean waters since high school. Ocean City is supposed to be gone by now. The De beaches, gone! The bury the new beach water front properties. Guess what??? it's all still there! it has gone no where. Still the same levels it was 50 years ago. The De waters do not need a wall. If you have that kind of money to burn then send it over to the southern border. Why do you need a wall? Were all gonna be dead in less then 10 years now. How do i know this? AOC said it so it must be true.

The bay on one side the ocean on the other side Of Hwy 1. Sounds like a waste of money. Nature will take it back one day.
