All US coastal cities are facing sea level rise and Houston will still be above water while many like Miami, Baltimore, New Orleans, New York City...etc will be under water. Houston elevation ranges from 30' to over 100'. I live on the westside at 85' above sea level. When my father moved my family to this area in 1967 it was 87' in elevation.
They should probably put barriers along the barrier islands in front of Houston, then just have to pump water out of the bay. Also avoid future subsidence
@@geocam2 I am as old as dirt, And I grew up in and around houston. for the most part, houston is coastal prairie mixed with swamp and marshes. It Floods there. It has always flooded there. Houston grew at such a fast pace from the 60's to the 80's, Cement covers most of the ground now.And every year, It floods more and more. If insurance companies are moving out, It is due to infrastructure not being capable of keeping up with the urban sprawl. And the ever increasing flooding due to infrastructure failure now. Not Climate change, or rising seas. It is just bad city leadership, mismanagement, and zero planning.
I think people are mistaking shore Erosion, For sea level rise. And there is both photographic evidence from the past 100 years, And Paintings of coastal areas from the past 200 years that show no sea level rise at all.
Also from Wikipedia: Sea level has changed over geologic time. As the graph shows, sea level today is very near the lowest level ever attained (the lowest level occurred at the Permian-Triassic boundary about 250 million years ago).

They need to go to new Orleans
Clear factual explanation, thank you!
Thank you for your kind comment!

Sadly isnt that easy
Stop teasing me.
This is horse huey. Sea levels have not risen or fallen in the past 10,000 years. And that can be very easily verified.
@@geocam2 to make ppl think the sea is risen give us 100% proof that the sea is risen

The global average sea level has risen about 9.8 in. since 1880.
