I've had two attempts to buy waterfront properties in Horning fall through in the last few weeks, both due to the vendors deciding to take the propery off the market just before exchange of contracts.
Am I just fantastically unlucky, or is my guardian angel trying to tell me something?

Β Well the sea hasn't risen here yet, and we live on the coast. you don't arf torque sum bollox innit? sea level has been rising all over the world for the past 20,000 years, and hasn't stopped - in fact it is accelerating. The levels did used to be higher though. Complicated stuff isnβt it.

I worked in Oman, developing the small port that is located at the northern tip projecting into the Straits of Hormuz. The port is surrounded by mountains formed when the geological plate of Iran pushed under the Oman plate, lifting the formation and creating cliffs 2,000ft high. There are shells in the rock at the top of the cliffs.

Well the sea hasn't risen here yet, and we live on the coast. sea level has been rising all over the world for the past 20,000 years, and hasn't stopped - in fact it is accelerating. We went to Paignton last October and the beach was still exposed at low tide. They don't seem to have raised the road or paths that run beside the beach. Just where is the sea rising? I read only last week that the canals in Venice had run dry. Here ya go: "Now the canals are almost dry, leaving gondolas and boats stranded in the mud" www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7883939/Canals-Venice-left-dry-low-tides.html

Only 65 million years ago North America was still attached to Europe. Continental Drift / Plate Tectonics - shifting about whether you like it or not.

Here's a typical hysterical quote from the mayor who claims the high tide flooding a few weeks previously was due to global warming then provides evidence to refute that in one sentence.
"Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said the floods were 'the result of climate change' and warned of severe damage after the tide peaked at nearly 6ft 2in, second only to the record 6ft 5in set in 1966."
Maybe the mayoral elections are coming up.

We are in the mess we are in because of thinking like yours, I would in this country remove all benefits from having children all child care packages the lot! Well the sea hasn't risen here yet, and we live on the coast. as a statement coming from someone with an interest and knowledge of geology that is rather odd may I refer you to this article on the Fennoscandian uplift by the National Land Survey of Finland www.maanmittauslaitos.fi/en/research/interesting-topics/land-uplift

And what is rising faster, the land or the sea?

Maybe mobile phones DO cause cancer and they were introduced in order to cull populations gradually.
That combined with Lithium batteries ability to degrade blood quality leading to uncontrollable bleeding could be quite effective.

And the psychological effect. Every time my phone rings and I pick it up I can hear voices.
