Losing Alaska

Alaska's Arctic coast is eroding at up to 100 feet a year in some places as the warming climate thaws tundra and open water raises waves that pound shores. Researchers from the Univ. of Colorado created a video showing 30 days of erosion. More at http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com

You obviously don't know much about Alaska. I was born and raised in Alaska. I return every summer to work in the commercial fishing industry. I have watched shorelines erode all my life. It went on just as much during the "ice age" scare of the 70s as it is now during the "global warming" scare that dominates the news cycle. I have watched glaciers recede, as have my aboriginal predecessors of the 'Great Land' for centuries. I live by the tide tables and there's no rise in sea levels.

DAMN NATURE. YOU'S SCARY.

@AlaskaGuyVideo Thanks so much Alaska Guy for posting the Truth regarding this Gargantuan Global (warming) Lie

am looking to get a fresh start in life and am thinking about doing it in Alaska. what part of Alaska would be good to go to for employment, am a hard worker and am game for anything.

Use mighty power of nature

In the northwestern Australia, we have huge tides,

huge deserts, huge evaporation and huge dry rivers and lakes.

Huge 12m tidal erosion can revive old dry paleo dormant once mighty rivers, creeks and lakes,

desalinate the country and change deserts to rain forests to provide more rain across Australia

World population is growing rapidly and we need more energy, food, land and water.

that's dumb. if we lost that much of Alaska everyday, the state would be 10% gone in less than a year

@brians2000 So Brian, how is it that you know so much? Here we have scientists that spend a lifetime studying this stuff -- they go out in the field in person -- they meet with other scientists -- they put a lot of work into it. And you come along and in one (foul-mouthed) sentence declare with authority that you know that it isn't what they say it is. You think we're going to around saying that Brians2000 is the authority on global climate change? Oh, I DON'T THINK SO. You can do better.

[brians2000]

Please study the sun, solor system, stars to find out why our earth is changing. I has nothing to do with man made bullshit. Stop believing in Gore especially since he just bought a house on ocean front property. That alone shows he is a liar saying the tides will rise enough to damage man and the earth. Wake Up. I do believe we are using too many trees for paper and that destroys animals nesting grounds. I believe we should grow hemp for fuel, paper and oil to run our cars.

[brians2000]

Nature at its finest. Nothing wrong here.

Kind of like lake Erie erosion.
