2002 : Jerry Brown Sued George Bush To Stop Sea Revel Rise

2 Western Cities Join Suit to Fight Global Warming
Published: December 24, 2002

Mayor Jerry Brown of Oakland, who is a former governor of California and a former presidential candidate, said in an interview today that the suit was necessary because “there’s been such an abject failure on the part of the Bush administration to protect the people of this country from the seriously deleterious effects of climate disruption.”

The Oakland city council, which voted on Dec. 17 to join the suit, contends that global warming could cause the sea levels to rise, putting the city’s groundwater aquifers at risk of saltwater contamination and threatening to flood the airport and sewer systems.

The tide gauge at Oakland reports no sea level rise since George W Bush was born in 1946. Facts and progressives are mutually exclusive.

  1. Well, of course there will be stations showing no SLR. All that water for the two aquatic mountains in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans has to come from somewhere!

    Alameda is an island, not Oakland. Plenty of rise in San Francisco

    • Like I said Bob, the water for the mountains has to come from somewhere! If there are aquatic mountains now, then there must also be aquatic valleys. Alameda is clearly in an aquatic valley. Shall we have a celebration, since we’re both so brilliant??

    • You can’t possibly be that stupid.
      The Golden Gate Bridge tide gauge is on fill dirt, and is sinking. Water seeks a level surface. Sea level can’t vary in different parts of the Bay.

      The stupidity of progressives seems to be infinite.

      Land subsidence in the Santa Clara Valley, Alameda, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties, California

      Some grownup reading for little Bobby.

      … measured from land (fill and otherwise) that routinely has vertical displacements from temblors that completely cover the Y axis range of your chart by 200 percent or more. Filled areas routinely settle more during tectonic events. Please tell me you are not ignorant enough to trust a shore mounted sea level gauge ANYWHERE in CA.

  3. Steve Case says:

    There are 32 tide gauges on the West coast and 24 of them have records back to at least 1985 and since then 21 of them have shown negative sea level rise, including San Francisco which is negative since 1981.

  4. Alec, aka daffy duck says:

    Pretend for a second that you believe co2 causes global warming and contributes to sea level rise…. Ground water extraction in California contributes more to sea level rise than all the coal fired power plant combined:

    “A team of researchers reports in Nature Geoscience that land-based water storage could account for 0.77 millimetres per year, or 42%, of the observed sea-level rise between 1961 and 2003. Of that amount, the extraction of groundwater for irrigation and home and industrial use, with subsequent run-off to rivers and eventually to the oceans, represents the bulk of the contribution…”
