The End of Year Data - 3

Fig. 1 Don't Believe Your Lying Eyes?

This is not a story from the gaslight cafe:

"... 'King tide' is not a scientific term, nor is it used in a scientific context.

The expression originated in Australia in 2009, to describe especially high tides that occur a few times per year. It is now used in North America as well ..."

(Wikipedia,  cf. "present day extreme high tides will be the normal high tide levels with future sea-level rise", The King Tide Conundrum; emphasis added).  Fresh gaslighting brought to America for free and for one purpose: gaslighting the public.

To counter the Oil-Qaeda inspired gaslighting, graphs were presented in the previous posts of this series.

But in today's post, the list of tide gauge stations has been simplified; Appendices: Countries, A-C, D-G, I-L, M-R, S-T, U-V.

Fig. 2 Both Coasts

Today's post narrows the appendices of graphs down to countries with at least two tide gauge stations registered in the PSMSL database.

It debunks the bathtub model more clearly when sea level fall and sea level rise are contrasted.

Also, the list of countries with two or more tide gauge stations has been alphabetized to make selecting a country to focus on easier.

In the current Supreme Court Case which involves:

 “We are well beyond the time when climate harms loomed in some distant future; instead, communities are dealing right now, and regularly, with climate-enhanced floods, heat waves, catastrophic fires, sea level rise, and other problems.  These problems are expensive to manage, and states and localities bear the brunt of the costs, stretching their very limited budgets. With these court cases, communities and states allege that fossil fuel companies got us into this mess in part through consumer deception and other violations of state law, by concealing the harms of their products — and should therefore be on the hook to help pay for some of these costs.”

(The Legal Planet Guide to Suncor Energy v. County Commissioners of Boulder County). The law professors who discuss the case that may be decided soon are well aware of the "cost of living" increases as we continue to increase global warming and its widespread destruction.

About the graphs:

The graphs of the following countries in the other appendices are composed from RLR Data at Tide Gauge Stations in the named country. Some countries have both sea level fall and sea level rise (for example the USA has sea level fall in some areas of Alaska because they are within a certain distance from Glacier Bay, the Arctic Circle, or Greenland where there are large Ice Sheets. See the video in the main blog page for details of the cause of rise and fall of sea levels at different global locations.

The lines of both rise and fall are on the graphs to encompass the maximum and minimum high and low sea levels so the entire span is encompassed. The span of years is shown, the span of RLR is shown (in millimeters), and a total span is shown by (high RLR minus low RLR, divided by 304.8mm) in feet. The number of tide gauge stations graphed is also shown. The links to the tide gauge stations follow the station name (in parentheses). Only countries with more than one tide gauge station are featured in this post.

The Bathtub Model Doesn't Hold Water - 6

Fig. 1 How Old Is This Alignment
Which is fantasized as the 'king tide' maker?

Some meteorologists have been telling us that recent "king tides" are causing houses to fall into the oceans along coastlines on the East Coast and the West Coast of the USA (The End of Year Data, 2). 

Here is some relevant background data about the made up name 'king tide':

"A 'king tide' is an especially high spring tide, especially the perigean spring tides which occur three or four times a year. 'King tide' is not a scientific term, nor is it used in a scientific context.

The expression originated in Australia in 2009, to describe especially high tides that occur a few times per year. It is now used in North America as well, particularly in low-lying South Florida, where 'king tides' can cause tidal flooding."

(Wikipedia, emphasis added). Reminds me of the song lyrics: 

"He say one and one and one is three put your arms around him you can feel his disease" - "Come Together" by The Beatles 

but ... but... what if "I can’t get my arms around it" (Grammarphobia).

The reason for using the 'king tide' fantasy is the same as the reason for using 'climate change' instead of 'global warming', which is gaslighting.

Oil-Qaeda and its sycophants do not want you to realize that they are involved in this gaslighting.

One reason is that trillions of dollars in court damage awards against them could result for years to come (see Wikipedia Suncor Energy (U.S.A.) Inc. v. County Commissioners of Boulder County).

It is easy to falsify and disprove their fantasy that would have you forget that the Sun, Moon, and Earth have been doing tides, including the highest tides, for thousands or millions or billions of years (Fig. 1) (but certainly way before circa the year 1750 when the industrial revolution began) ... the revolution which led to petroleum civilization (Petroleum Civilization: The Final Chapter (Confusing Life with Death).

What is causing the sea level to rise, leading to tides that penetrate deeper and deeper into coastlines is global warming induced ice sheet melt in the Arctic, Antarctica, and other large ice sheet locations in The Land of Bullshitistan.

Maybe the pseudo-scientists will become liable for this gaslighting too (you know the ones who said "sure it is fine to build your houses there!")?

The El Nino/La Nina Chronicles - 14

Fig. 1 1960s Worst Heat Event
Where Da El Nino At?

I. EL Heat Wave

This series has shown that renaming 'global warming' to the name 'climate change' was a political maneuver, (a la "El Nino"):

"Frank Ian Luntz ... is an American political and communications consultant and pollster. His work has included developing talking points and other messaging for Republican causes ... He ... has advocated use of vocabulary crafted to produce a desired effect, including use of the term ... climate change instead of global warming.

(Wikipedia, emphasis added). The fabled El Nino was with Santa I suppose (Fig. 1).

II. Heat Storm - Telling It Like It Is

An ongoing study isolates multiple events of this nature, such as 'heat wave':

"Reuters conducted a data-driven examination of global temperatures that shows heat waves have surged in size and frequency since the 1960s. These are the key takeaways ...

Fig. 2 2020s Worst Heat Event
Where Da El Nino At?

To continue calling such sprawling phenomena 'heat waves' would be like calling a monsoon a rain shower. To understand the new reality of these immense expanses of heat, Reuters consulted with two dozen climate researchers and analyzed temperatures around the globe for every hour of every day since 1960 [and 2020s]. From those results, we developed a new concept: the 'heat storm'."

(Meet the heat storm: 7 takeaways from our investigation, cf. Giant Heat Storms). Again, the fabled El Nino was with Santa I suppose (Fig. 2).

III. Closing Comments

It is way past time, if not too late, to heal the mental problem that has been injected into way too many people of Earth.

The End of Year Data - 2

Fig. 1 It's Not Just The East Anymore

A Dredd Blog post recently focused on the East Coast of the USA (The El Nino/La Nina Chronicles - 5).

The East Coast loss of shoreline is falsely blamed on "El Nino" and same with the West Coast shoreline (Fig. 1). 

Today let's "face the music" and the facts, and realize that as seen in foresight, these dynamics are all around us (Petroleum Civilization: The Final Chapter (Confusing Life with Death); cf Major loss of California beaches predicted in latest climate forecast).

Fig. 2 The Kid Did It

The meteorologists have invented some words like 'king tide' to avail some of us with a favorite fantasy (see Fig. 2) in one of many efforts to rob us of our favorite solution (i.e. "leave it in the ground"). 

I updated the previous graphs (that were in The End of Year Data) as needed, because the SQL server needed to be and was updated.

So, today's appendices are (Station Links, A-B, C-E, F-G, H-K, L-M, N-P, R-S, T-Y). 

In a previous post the East Coast and European shorelines were shown with houses falling into them (as in Fig. 1).

The unasked question in these scenarios is: "decades ago where was the 'king tide' high tide mark on those beaches when the Building Permit Authorities issued the permits to build those structures there?".

Those authorities are charged with knowing about how safe or not it would be to build a dwelling there.

High tide water line distance from the real estate lot line location is a critical basic factor to consider: 

"However, since some obscure date in the past, the area has been progressively rising in relation to the Laguna waters, with the result that it is now from 0.25 feet to 1 foot above mean sea level, in greater part above the line of 'mean high tide' (as hereinafter explained) and covered by the waters, not as a regular daily, weekly or even monthly matter, but only at irregular intervals and in irregular amounts, although, from the rather meager record in this behalf, it cannot be said that the presence of sea water in substantial quantity is rare."

(Luttes v State). The basic truth is that the high tide mark was far enough away (100 yds?) at the time those building permits were issued a decade or so back in time, when sea level rise was way more of a mythical consideration than it is now.
