The LA Basin sits on the San Andreas fault in a region which has 200 years of accumulated stress built up, so Governor Brown worries about non-existent sea level rise at LAX, which is 125 feet above sea level.
People keep electing these geniuses.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

The rest of us just hope that Californicate will break off and slide into the Pacific taking a huge number of US progressives with it. Hopefully it will happen during a Congressional break when Obummer is in Californicate doing campaigning.
(Yes I know it is not a subduction zone but one can dream….)
Southern California, along with Baja California will continue to slide north and eventually collide with Alaska, in roughly 100 million years. Basins like the Salton Sea and Death Valley are in the process of subsiding, and will become northern extensions of the Gulf of California.
California, New York, Mass… Illinois … All big Lib States where any talk of Climate Change skepticism draws gasps from the crowd…
The REAL flat earth people are those who are 100% in the tank for Climate Change…
Be precise. That’s Anthropogenic Climate Change, the flat earthers are talking about.
I recently calculated that the total ice sheet (i.e. Greenland and Antarctica) volume is equivalent to approximately 11 metres of sea-level rise (dividing ice sheet volume by sea surface area).
From this calculation it seems to me that any prediction of sea-level rise beyond 11 metres is completely bogus anyway. Anyone care to comment?
I’m sorry, I don’t think 35ft is enough to scare New Yorkers. You’ll need to resubmit your grant application with a scarier number.
30 feet puts the Potomac River on the White House lawn. 35 feet and you’ll flood the kitchen.
Not my kitchen. I am at elevation: 246 ft {:>D
I don’t know what “interannual variation” means, but the sea level chart in D.C. looks less scary than the mean sea level trend. I can see why they choose the scarier chart. Can you look into, Steve?

The San Andreas fault goes through Palm Springs, not the LA Basin. A major slippage of the San Andreas would still be very bad news for LA, but not nearly as bad as if it were lying on top of the fault, as the Bay Area is.
It runs through San Bernardino, which is part of LA metro. LA is a much higher risk than SF, because they haven’t had a major earthquake in 200 years.
