Martock isn't anywhere near Truro or Pictou - is insulting NS ski hills helping your argument?

It is a part of the same Appalachians and as a ski resort that would be one of the high points. White Hill is only 532M. The point is the word mountain has no business being in the same sentence with Nova Scotia.

Tides are not eroding mountains - that's not even what the IPCC or the minister are saying.

Tides do effect areas like the Tantramar Marshes and there has more then a few stories about where graves are falling into the sea from this same erosion. The entire eastern shoreline is eroding into the Atlantic so weak points like the Isthmus of Chignecto will be naturally more susceptible to the forces of erosion well before the effects of global warming.

Sea level has been rising since the end of the last ice age. For about a millenia the risehas been minute and regular and the most authenitic estimate which the IPCC has finally endorsed rather than the stupid GORE 20M rise estimate----is a mere 7 cm by 2200.

Anything else is just plain stupid.

Jesus, half of Holland is below sea level. Build a dike... What is the fuzz all about anyway?

Now this explains why Alberta has suddenly become so popular.

Everyone is running for higher gound.

Make them stronger and higher. I still don't see the fuzz though...

Erosion is a constant losing battle with the environment, global warming speeds the process up. What I am pointing out is how vulnerable Nova Scotia is to this type of damage already, not making a case for global warming.

I understand, but NS is not alone in the world with that problem...

Alone? No, it's not as bad as PEI, Richmond BC or Sable Island perhaps and its very existence is not threatened like some island in the Pacific. However, there will be far more significant impact there then say the BC interior or Ontario. The damage potential to Nova Scotia my make the future that much dimmer aka New Orleans.

Unfortunately for you, you're not the governing authority on what constitutes a mountain, so your taking a jab at our geography is irrelevant. Regardless, White Hill and the Martock ski resort (which is not the high point in Nova Scotia at all - it's not even the largest ski resort) are still nowhere near Pictou, Truro, or the Isthmus of Chignecto.

Right - marshlands and coastlines are susceptible (ie, not mountains).

It's already a problem now, though, and they're just riding the Global Warming wave to get some money out of the Feds.

I recall many years back, my first trip across the causeway from Sackville NB to Amhurst NS. High tide.
My impression-----Nova Scotia is a $%%^^& island..........

Which island would that be, exactly?
