Sea level along Chesapeake rising faster than efforts to mitigate it

Global warming is causing the polar ice caps and glaciers to melt, thus raising sea levels around the world. Al Gore might be right after all, he'll restudy that after his search for manbearpig ends.    laugh laugh laugh laugh

In 50 years, I'll have bay front property with my own 300' ramp already built.  I just need to start work on the floating piers as the water works it way up my driveway and property.   laugh laugh laugh

Yep, all he needs is a few more taxes. He slipped today and said he would like to raise the sales tax again along with his other proposals! What a crock!

This was reported in the New York Times as well. Both reporters misunderstand what "subside" means. The word's root is the Latin "sidere" which means "to settle;" what the story is reporting is that the land mass is sinking, as mdjohn correctly noted. So the thesis of the articles is not only misleading, but totally wrong, at least in this case.
