Yah I live in NS too and no I'm not too concerned for myself and yet I did not realize that having concern for others now or down the road was something to be sneered at or made fun of.

You know erosion happens all of the time right? Heck, the original colony of Jamestown is about 200 feet in the middle of the ocean.

Another scientific study researched in a bar somewhere.

Sea levels are not rising or the tidal gauges would show that. Halifax has remained stable and the rest of Canada's port indicate a 1 cm drop.

The tidal gauges in Tuvalu indicated a drop in sea level but somebody dealt with that---the tidal gauges were removed. The tidal gauges in the Maldives are still in place though and the sea level continues to recede.

This is however irrelevant as these "scientific" articles seem to over-ride actual observations.

Tuktayaktuk was deemed unsustainable by the Canadian government back in the 50's, during St. Laurent's regime that's why Canada founded Inuvik. I was in grade school when that happened and I had assumed that Tuk was now more or less abandoned.
