washington dc was an actual literal swamp

@H3llbender its from the last ice age apparently it takes a long time for tetonic plates to sink and float in the mantel.

@woodchuck00 Most of the problems with sea level rise actually do have to do with coastal wetlands!

You don't want that land! It will be under water soon! Let me take it off your hands for you!

not just a political, a everglades style swamp

@Misomania Is that the big ass meteor i told this discord i saw like a week ago?

You see, a lot of coastal wetlands are under threat from mere inches of sealevel rise because a lot of coastal wetlands are in the intertidal zone

rip gators

not sure, this one had nasa look up and basically ask what the hell they were seeing @shanepottermi and it was large enough to wreck a large city

I think there was a meteor a couple days ago

if it was on a different trajectory it would have cratered something for sure

biggest one i ever saw

If low tide ends up so that areas that were exposed at low tide are no longer exposed, those areas go away

flew half way between the earth and moon, which is nothing spacewise

The massive one was 1 mile wide

Which in turn has *implications* for flooding in the area whenever a storm rides in

oh what i saw actually entered the atmosphere

it was so big i could see the thing on fire inside the shooting star

it was burning for like 2 seconds

I think this was a few months back. Would've wiped out even a city like new york and they had zero clue it was there until they looked up and saw it

that stuff happens all the time.. near misses

@Misomania There is probably a lot more that they don't see

we're sitting in between 2 giant meteor belts

Space force baby

'well in our solar system at least'

imagine a pulstar

@shanepottermi You mean the lagrange points?

We have plenty of Trojans there

no one would've lived through a near miss of a chunk of a pulstar

houston gets fucking owned after every flood because theres nowhere for the water to hold anymore

@Misomania You mean gamma ray burst. Pulsars are a type of solar body

Yarp yarp @Ronald McFunkytown✓ᵛᵉʳᶦᶠᶦᵉᵈ

used to have fields to soak up all the water... now those fields are nasty ugly subdivisions

@H3llbender the radiation that eminates from that end of a dying star, if mobile. Was listening to someone talk of rogue black holes and potential for dying stars to move that way

https://sealevel.nasa.gov/understanding-sea-level/causes/regional-sea-level-change

Still caused by global warming.

@H3llbender what would we be able to do against something like that? moving solar or rogue black holes... besides kiss our ass goodbye that is

for moree detain on post glacial rebound you can read this:" https://sealevel.nasa.gov/data/dataset/?identifier=SLCP_Vertical_land_motion_in_ICE-6G_(VM5a)_ICE-6G_C_(VM5a)

@Misomania By the time we knew it was happening it would have already happened, we don't have FTL *anything* and we would need to have FTL sensors to spot it coming

The last paper UF sumited to the National Geologist Union said humans are responsible for 15% of golobal warming

It is actually a scenario that could potentially bring about some of the whole blood moon, blotting out the sun, wormwood stuff in revalations
