An Entire Town in the US Is Sinking Because of Climate Change

Hows about a little fact check on that crapo, as it has been shot down here @CC before.
"Land subsidence is a gradual settling or sudden sinking of the Earth's surface owing to subsurface movement of earth materials. Subsidence is a global problem and, in the United States, more than 17,000 square miles in 45 States, an area roughly the size of New Hampshire and Vermont combined, have been directly affected by subsidence.
The principal causes are aquifer-system compaction, drainage of organic soils, underground mining, hydrocompaction, natural compaction, sinkholes, and thawing permafrost. More than 80 percent of the identified subsidence in the Nation is a consequence of our exploitation of underground water, and the increasing development of land and water resources threatens to exacerbate existing land-subsidence problems and initiate new ones. In many areas of the arid Southwest, and in more humid areas underlain by soluble rocks such as limestone, gypsum, or salt, land subsidence is an often- overlooked environmental consequence of our land- and water-use practices."

In the original thread the wapo published this (now in the OP) and Bar tried to post it as facts supporting global warming.
Which it isn't...it's just obvious propaganda
Al Gore Says God Told Him to Fight Global Warming

lol..big woo woo there!
What he likely isn't saying is that god also wants some new seaside church property when the shore line prices drop from the global warming fears in seaside areas where subsidence is not a factor.

oh look: Louisiana is sinking because of water oil and gas removal
Every map of Louisiana is a lie - Business Insider
yep Al Gore talks to god alright
I think that means he is a whack job...but he does have your money.
I guess the same applies to the pope too.

Are you confused between 'sinking' and 'sea level rise'? It certainly appears that you are.
Maybe it should twin with Venice. Mind you it will soon have lots of company. Americans in Danger From Rising Seas Could Triple

"It can't happen here!" Frank Zappa saw this coming and pinned the Yanky mindset almost 60 years ago.
Yes it could , but as you know with words like could , it might not . Because could is not the same as will .
Yeah we already shot that down with an official government source that shows it is subsidence not water rising, remember?

(from bar's link)haha
Your link is missing...(looks like a Liebarrel brainfart trying to do science though)
Well NOW, the proof is in.
Lets examine a real citation, from a real link, from a real source, shall we?
Land subsidence occurs when large amounts of groundwater have been withdrawn from certain types of rocks, such as fine-grained sediments. The rock compacts because the water is partly responsible for holding the ground up. When the water is withdrawn, the rocks falls in on itself. You may not notice land subsidence too much because it can occur over large areas rather than in a small spot, like a sinkhole. That doesn't mean that subsidence is not a big event -- states like California, Texas, and Florida have suffered damage to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars over the years.
This is a picture of the San Joaquin Valley southwest of Mendota in the agricultural area of California. Years and years of pumping groundwater for irrigation has caused the land to drop. The top sign shows where the land surface was back in 1925! Compare that to where Dr. Poland is standing (1977).

Bar has shown he is incapable of doing evidence, so I post this for everyone else.
...and Bar, let us know if god talks to you too OK?

Sea levels are not rising either. Mostly it is low lying areas drawing too much ground water causing the ground to sink. Don't let facts stand in the way of your religion though.
Junk science? ( the greenie was to get your attention, LOL! Are you high on an 8 ball of crack?)
"Climate change" means EITHER global warming which means sea rise, or global cooling which means sea lowering!
DUH!
Its been happening since before man had anything to do with anything
(NASA, yeah must be "junk science" eh?)
Looks like you sea level WILL rise, hillary WILL win, projectionists missed the boat AGAIN!

Pull your head out of the sand. I can't hear you. You also might try googling the subject. I just chose one article out of dozens.

Oh I get it. So pumping water out of the entire US coastal region is causing it to sink? Please provide some science for that ridiculous notion. BTW the San Joaquin Valley is not even close to the sea. You chose a particularly poor example. Nothing new there.
