Rising sea levels cause increased coastal erosion. Without having seen the article I can't comment on the spuriousness of the claim.
Anyone see the 6 o'clock news last night?
During a report on global warming report (usually one or two a week for some reason) they showed a bloke concerned because his house was just feet from a cliff that was being eroded.
Coastal erosion? Global warming? How on earth are the two linked and is this the best evidence they can find of it? Pretty damning I would say.![]()

Our weather has been drier than usual in the last couple of years, and the bloke was at the top of a 300 foot cliffOriginally posted by OneFootInTheGrave

Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse
Do It Ourselves

Now I know where you lot get your crazy ideas about global warming.During a report on global warming report (usually one or two a week for some reason)
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

yeah, you guys sure don't get it yet...
maybe another of your cities has to be drowned before you will start to take a look at it...
"Ceterum censeo Ben esse expellendum."

Erosion happens all the time and since the sea levels have not been measured to go up so far then it is spurious to claim global warming is responsible. More likely the ones responsible were the builder who built right on the edge of a cliff, the county clerk who handed out the permit to build knowing it was right on the edge of a cliff, and the buyer who knowningly bought a house on the edge of an eroding cliff. Life sucks but these people are more stupid then the average person and they should suffer for their stupidity. Next time don't build or buy property which will fall off of a cliff in 20 years.

The complacency of some on this subject is ridiculous.

I am not at all sure it is a danger.
And I definitely don't think it is the greatest environmental danger facing humanity, I think that water pollution is.
To hear some people, global warming is going to end life on earth. At worst it will make life very unpleasent (and short) for the majority of the human population.

But to deny the existence of a readily-understood physical effect is stupid.

We pump out loads of CO2. A globally significant amount of it, in fact. We have measurements of an unprecedented runup in CO2 concentrations in the last 200 years. CO2 is practically transparent at solar wavelengths, but has a very high scattering cross-section at thermal wavelengths. What does this mean for the thermal equilibrium of the Earth?
Duh.
