In God we trust, all others bring data. While Charleston may have
floods it's hardly caused by "climate change". Charleston has had
continuous flooding problems for 300 years due to where and how the city
was built. Charleston's sea level gauges have been showing a sea level
rise of just over 3mm/year for the past 115 years and is typical for
much of the world. Where you see higher rates (such as New Orleans)
it's usually due to subsidence. The much repeated claim or sea level
rise acceleration doesn't exist except in someone's computer model.
Here's the real data for Charleston... a long, slow and very linear
rise.

Don't trust, just verify.

We had 5 days in a row of over 100 degrees and we have had no rain in over
a month. Areas around us have had plenty of rain and some are complaining
about too much, but every time a storm approaches York, you can watch the
weather map as the clouds split and go around us. I'm watering the garden
every other day. We will be fine as long as the well does not go dry. I
wonder what the future will be here. My son, Tim, lives on the coast in
Charleston. The water has already risen considerably and the city is
working hard to improve drainage but there are still frequent floods.
Climate change is here and it's too late to do anything about it except
move to higher ground!
