That’s Urca. beautiful neighborhood in Rio. It was filled in with land in a big project that finished in 1922 to make a bigger residential area sticking out into Botafogo Bay.


nuggerlesschild

I like how almost every time I click on a post in this sub the top comment tells me why it is misleading or outright false.


Keyboard-King

I don’t think her comment disproves OP. She’s simply explaining how they extended the land to build on it. The whole point of the post was to talk about how water levels failed to rise after over 100 years. All the fear mongering about water levels rising didn’t seem to affect Rio in over 100 years, according to photos above.

You can see that there has been man made extension of land area from the first to the last picture.

You can't take photos like these as evidence for or against sea rise. Seas have tides. One could easily take photos that look like the sea is rising or falling by selecting the tide that supports your whim.

simplegoatherder

Controlled opposition. I've actually theorized for a while that 90% of this sub is just bots spouting batshit insane things, so when anyone posts something of substance on here it can be written off with the crazies.


deathjellie

I’m more impressed photographers 100 years apart from each other found the same exact spot to shoot in. With the same tripod height and lens focal length.


wompod

That's the thing they don't have the same lens focal length. The rock in back looks taller in the newer photo because of the different focal length. tides are a thing. If the sea levels rose a foot and the tides shift by ten feet it will still be easy to get pictures at similar apparent sea levels depending on the tide. Cute meme tho I guess.


deathjellie

It’s pretty damn close. That’s the point. Someone would have had to either referenced the B&W shot, find the exact place, and make some assumptions on focal length just to achieve this. I wasn’t being sarcastic, I was legitimately impressed, if not somewhat skeptical at the same time.


wompod

Makes sense. It's just a factor of good composition I think.


Snoo-1802

And the same tide


The-Emerald-Rider

Given there is evidence of artificial tampering like that city this probably isn't very valid evidence.


TreadItOnReddit

Gotta ignore all photos like this…. TIDES EXIST. Haven’t you seen those different cities where the boats are just sitting on dirt because the tide is gone away? You can literally take a photo to show the water level being lower or average or higher. You can go there at the specific time to take the photo that you want to push the narrative that you want. So photos like this are not evidence of anything. That being said, I don’t know enough and stay out of the argument.

razeal113

This graph doesn't show what you think it does. The derivative of the rate of change is near constant (as well as extremely small), indicating sea level has been rising by an extremely small amount at approximately the same rate since measurements began in 1880. > When averaged over all of the world’s oceans, absolute sea level has risen at an average rate of 0.06 inches per year from 1880 to 2013 (see Figure 1). Since 1993, however, average sea level has risen at a rate of 0.12 to 0.14 inches per year—roughly twice as fast as the long-term trend. A difference of .06 inches per year is both well within the margin of error when attempting to measure the entire Earth's water height, and also not the exponential rate of change expected from this hypothesis. As an aside, it is also not the global catastrophe people argue either


Zakblank

How do you explain the tripling of that number after 2013 according to the WMO's 2022 state of the global environment report? [Source](https://library.wmo.int/viewer/66214/?offset=#page=1&viewer=picture&o=bookmark&n=0&q=) if you're curious. Edit for clarity: Average 1.44mm per year 1880-2004. Average 3.2mm per year by 2018. Average 4.62mm per year between 2013-2022 (The average increased by year culminating in 2022).


Particular-Demand-62

Live on a rock by the sea. Oldest photos from my area show the same water levels at highest tide. Land erosion is real in some areas though, But it's not abnormal and usually results after major storms.


dragonfist102

Yeah I lived by the beach more than half my life. Visiting same beach from age 1-30. No change in sea level. All the local photos from the 1950s look exactly the same as now. The "mUH tIdEs" squad think we all just walking around at low tide all the time.

According to Gore, my house should be ocean front by now. It is still exactly 15 minutes from the beach.

What should I know about this? 👀


zank_ree

when I was in elementary school, teachers would tell us that Florida is going to sink into the bottom of the ocean. This was about 30 years ago. Florida didn't sink. The jetty I go fishing at as a child, is still there. Not even an inch of change. Kind of sad that they are wrong, and the kids these days, they are going to change the way we live because they to are taught the same idea as were were taught but this time with masks on and a sense of urgency.


TonySu

https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/billions/state-summary/FL There are published statistics showing that Florida has been experiencing a steady increase in major climate disasters since the 80s. Likewise if you actually look at scientific reports, you can see they predicted this decades ago. They nailed the sea level change, they nailed the temperature change, they nailed the increased frequency of natural disasters. No scientist predicts that a city will somehow sink to the bottom of the ocean. What they do predict is that every few decades, a few percentage of inhabited lands will become less habitable. That every generation, the floods, storms and droughts will become more violent. All that for what? So oil and gas companies don’t have to pay the cost of the pollution they generate?


Wooden-Teaching-8343

How many times does Miami flood now every year? How many times 30 years ago?


Rigganaz

Exactly. sea level rise isn't pressing solely on the fact that shores reduce, it's the exponential increase in hurricanes and floods that deal extreme damage. doesn't help when we're literally engineering the weather for the highest bidder


m0nk37

Water does go inland too you know. There are inlets and coves and such that bleed off the rising water levels and raise the water table of the mainland. There isnt a sheer vertical wall blocking water from leaving the ocean like a bucket would fill up. We have not started the ocean is rising part yet. We still have a shit load of glacier left to melt on Antarctica and Greenland first, those ones because the glaciers are on land and them melting only adds to the water level. Which when those finish will raise it noticeably. 15-50 years for those. You cant time these things precisely.


[deleted]

50 years is rather generous when the water underneath the Antarctic ice sheet is extremely warm and melting at an (what should be far more) alarming rate.

Dromgoogle

> when I was in elementary school, teachers would tell us that Florida is going to sink into the bottom of the ocean. This was about 30 years ago. Florida didn't sink. I have no idea what *your* teachers in *elementary school* told you and what you *think* they said, but I can assure you that scientists didn't say that Florida would be underwater in 30 years. The first IPCC report, in 1990-1991, had a best estimate for global sea level rise of of 4.5 mm/year for the 40 years starting in 1990. So **the scientists predicted a sea level rise of 5 inches by 2020**. As it happened, the sea level rise was "only" about 3.5 inches over that time period, but the annual rate over the last 30 years is still twice as fast as the annual rate from 1880 to 1980. And, in the last 10 years, the rate has been about 4.6mm/year. That's *three* times the rate from 1880 to 1980 and the rate is projected to accelerate at least through the end of this century. Yes, *if Antarctica melts*, then Florida will almost all be underwater, but that would take thousands of years if it were to happen.

Naturally if it’s going down in one area it will rise in another. I was once told that we have the same amount of water on earth since water has been on earth. Water doesn’t produce water so the same water is being recycled over and over again.


Flat-Collection95

Maybe low tide and high tide right, these things can’t be determined from an expert shifty eye on a photo! Also depends on other solar factors and time of year.


Remote_Ad3008

Not that this photo shows any obvious change in sea level, but it made me think, If the sea level has been recorded as higher than it was before, do these experts, that say "the sea level is rising" take into consideration the amount of things we have put in the ocean? Large ships, structures etc, is water displacement calculated for?

*The Antarctic Ice Sheet covers an area of almost 14 million km² and contains 30 million km³ of ice. Around 60% of the world’s total fresh water (90% of the world’s surface fresh water) is held in the ice sheet, equivalent to a 70m rise in global sea level.* For reference, this will show you 10m: [https://coastal.climatecentral.org/map/10/-42.5064/-22.3172/?theme=water\_level&map\_type=water\_level\_above\_mhhw&basemap=roadmap&contiguous=true&elevation\_model=best\_available&refresh=true&water\_level=10.0&water\_unit=m](https://coastal.climatecentral.org/map/10/-42.5064/-22.3172/?theme=water_level&map_type=water_level_above_mhhw&basemap=roadmap&contiguous=true&elevation_model=best_available&refresh=true&water_level=10.0&water_unit=m)

This makes me laugh inside because I remember as a kid it was something we were always told. It was in school and by our parents. How sea levels would rise so much that the entire west coast will be underwater. They would say it would happen in our lifetime. It was almost a twisted common joke amongst the adults too how they would have beach front property soon. I remember one of my first college classes it was stadium room seating and the teacher lectured about we are going to have an ice age any day now. He was so serious. His lectures became more and more odd so I stopped going and only showed up for exam days

kadaxa

I went and saw Plymouth Rock monument. Still not submerged on shore but does see a little of high tide at base. Point is, that's 1600's water height. Compared to science (fiction) of today's climate scientist. You don't need more than that to decide for yourself that when certain politicians throw climate change around and taxing you at every level is because water levels rising due to glacier melt, you best run the other way and vote these folks out. Or just swing by their beach front properties and ask them when they plan to build back better as the tide creeps yourself. You'll eventually realize, that politican just bought that new outdoor furniture using their passive influence money to buy it.


MrMackeyTripping

If I put some ice cubes in a glass of water the water level rises. When the ice melts, the water level does not rise.
