There is at least a person i know how who drew what it will comes. Image of flood. One of the image was then recognised as a not famous place in Miami....It was last year... Miami became the Venice
I read this today and felt the earth shaking: For the first time in history, every month so far this year has been at least 1°C greater than the 1951-1980 climate baseline.
If you can't decipher the graph, just check out the colors, as we move from 1920 to 2020.
@bomoh, What is your view on fossil-fuel caused climate change?
@bomoh. You wrote earlier that you were here to expand the perspective, but it seems you are here to obscure the true cause of climate change. Fossil fuel companies love this kind of obfuscation and they promote books like that prophecy book and sun spot theories. I do not have time for this.
Fossil fuel burning has caused climate change. The science is incontrovertible. The fossil fuel companies are the greatest Darth Vaders of our world. Their owners and investors shall be held responsible for their crime.
The cause of climate change is not up for debate, just as whether the earth is flat is not up for debate.
@bomoh. There is a more recent experience of climate change. In April of 1815, Mount Tambora exploded in a powerful eruption that killed tens of thousands of people in Indonesian.
The following year became known as the "year without a summer" when unusually cold, wet conditions swept across Europe and North America. The year 1816 is known as the Year Without a Summer because of severe climate abnormalities that caused average global temperatures to decrease significantly. Summer temperatures in Europe were the coldest on record between the years of 1766–2000. This resulted in major food shortages across the Northern Hemisphere.
This was the timing when Mary Shelley wrote her famous novel, Frankenstein.
Today's article presents another sad true-life instance of what this forum has been talking about regarding coastal erosion from climate change acceleration:
Luxury Homes In Australia Are Falling Into The Ocean Due To Coastal Erosion
https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/21/australia/australia-coastal-erosion-homes-intl-hnk-scli/index.html
An excerpt from the article:
"Coastal erosion is threatening other communities around the country, too; nearly 39,000 buildings around the Australian coast are at risk of accelerated erosion due to the effects of climate change, according to the government's geoscience agency."

Climate Change Will Force American Migration
@laura-f. I saw it this morning. And I remember it was one of the biggies that came to me many years ago.
Another of the biggies that has now come true that I predicted back in 2010 was the climate change would happen much faster than scientists were predicting. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/earth-hasnt-warmed-this-fast-in-tens-of-millions-of-years/
I have some articles I wrote here from 2010 to 2015. Seas will rise 20 feet by 2100 and likely even sooner, perhaps by 2060. We've lived in our house 35 years and it's our third house. If anyone plans to buy property they intend to hold more than a few years, buy at least 50 feet above sea level. Why 50 feet? Because storms will be much stronger, winds stronger, and with sea rise, you could get wiped out in 15 years if you are in the path of a hurricane. Within ten years, insurance companies will make flood insurance along the coasts, especially the U.S. Eastern Seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico coastlines unaffordable for most.
I was relieved to see that for the most part, San Diego county will fare reasonably well. While there are some low-lying coastal residential areas, where we are is 250 feet above sea level, about a mile in from the Bay and about 2 miles in from the ocean proper.
Hubby and I are still considering whether to relo or stay, it's been a long month of arguments and discussions. For now we have decided to stay in SD for the next 2 years or so, to see where our daughter and her BF land and in the meantime we might be looking to be in a quieter part of SD county and get away from the hordes of transients (homeless AND tourists) that are here in the city.
We will also be exploring other areas for future consideration including: Vancouver WA, Anacortes WA, Santa Fe NM, Grand Junction CO. In fact we will visit Vancouver/Portland in October - I want to see how many Trump signs and confederate flags there are in "Vantucky" (yes, that's the real nickname).
