In 1986, the New York Times predicted the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the US would lose between 100 and 1,000 feet of shoreline by 2026.
“MANY scientists are so sure that the sea level will rise visibly in the coming decades that they are advising planners to adopt new strategies now. A predicted rise in sea level of one foot within the next 30 to 40 years will drive much of the Atlantic and Gulf shoreline inward by a hundred feet and some of it by more than a thousand feet, according to marine geologists.”
SIGNIFIGANT RISE IN SEA LEVEL NOW SEEMS CERTAIN – The New York Times
“On January 13, 2024, the day that the photographs above were taken, it measured water levels three feet higher than predicted.”
“the team predicts that in the next decade, water levels at the coastline of the Battery could rise nearly as much as they did in the previous 100 years, increasing seven to 11 inches by the 2030s.”
Since the date of that photograph, sea level has fallen about one foot at a rate of 21 meters per century.

Marble Bar, West Australia set the world record of 160 consecutive days over 100F (38C) during the summer of 1923-1924. This inconvenient history has since been deleted from the BOM website.

“Has ACORN robbed Marble Bar of its world record?
The animation below uses the daily temperature datasets for RAW, ACORN 1 (introduced 2011/2012) and ACORN 2 (introduced quietly in early 2019 with no BoM announcement) to compare the number of days each year from 1910 to 2019 that Marble Bar recorded a very hot day (defined by the bureau as at or above 40C) :”
