You can find something better than this Rix. :-)

RixPix Loc: Miami, Florida

What's better than Faux News not connecting the dots of the rising ocean waters and global warming... I mean, all seriousness aside they are real on top of every story aren't they? it is of a great concern to me personally as we live on the Miami waterfront.

God forbid that Faux News think that we are having
global warming and the oceans are rising.
Sure, the sand is disappearing. Makes all the sense in the world. LOL

To me this is better:

August 2013 Ratings: MSNBC Down Double Digits
In primetime, “The Rachel Maddow Show” posted all-time low ratings in total and demo viewers, down -43% and -47%, respectively.

By the way Rix, the term to use now is "climate change." Getting back on track Rix, read that article from your extreme Fox hating site a bit more carefully. Sand loss from beaches has been going on for ages and has to do with a variety of causes. You may wish to read about it here:

"Beach nourishment— also referred to as beach replenishment or sand replenishment —describes a process by which sediment (usually sand) lost through longshore drift or erosion is replaced from sources outside of the eroding beach. A wider beach can reduce storm damage to coastal structures by dissipating energy across the surf zone, protecting upland structures and infrastructure from storm surges, tsunamis and unusually high tides. Beach nourishment is typically part of a larger coastal defense scheme. Nourishment is typically a repetitive process, since it does not remove the physical forces that cause erosion, but simply mitigates their effects."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_nourishment

From the same article:

The first nourishment project in the U.S. was at Coney Island, New York in 1922-23 and is now a common shore protection measure utilized by public and private entities.

You can simply google the issue of sand loss and nourishment to read articles from the established media, rather than the Media Matters extreme blog, to discover for yourself how many reports on the story do not mention global warming, climate change or rising seas to be an important factor regarding this issue.

I don't think you have to move quite yet Rix. :lol:

No, not yet. What's wrong with hating the lying liars at Fox News and I don't watch MSNBC so what do I care about their ratings? You've always struck me as a bit defensive, why is that? What are you trying to prove?

Bmac Loc: Long Island, NY

I did not read any lies in the article. Whether you watch MSNBC or not was unknown by me but others might be interested in the ratings, rather the same as you assuming others would care about the opinion of an extremist blog.

Why would I strike you as being defensive? I have no idea, only you would know.

What am I trying to prove? Simply responding to a topic in a forum designed for interaction. Isn't that what trolls wish and troll for, responses?

Not trying to prove anything, how about you Rix? Trying to prove how many pastes or articles you can post from extreme blogs without bothering to research the content perhaps? You have already proven this ability (?). 8-)

RixPix That is a great story. Thanks for posting. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Interesting. I watched the original broadcast and they went into great detail describing the cause and effect of beach erosion. They went over why the process of dredging would prove to be unacceptable moving forward. The science community discussed how glass is manufactured by exposing silca sand (with a few other additives) to 2300 C. They explained that pulverizing recycled glass to the size of average sand pebbles could be a reasonable alternative for protected Florida's beaches.

I'm sure those on Fox that represent your views like Bob Beckel, may resent you calling them all lying liars.

Michael Hartley Loc: Deer Capital of Georgia

The beaches in Fla. have been shrinking, ever since they built the first condo.

It's called Beach Erosion caused by wave action. It happens all over the world. Wave Action also puts sand on the beaches.

Bangee5 Loc: Louisiana

Couldn't the same question be asked of you? How much truth comes from you? Why should anyone trust what you have to say... you are not a very good source for News.

Don't want your house to fall into the ocean? Don't build on a sandy beach. In Delaware they predict that in the no too distant future the ocean front will be 4-6 miles inland. Anyone want to buy some future beach front property? Sands have been shifting since the beginning of time. Man can't stop it, all we do in Delaware is redistribute it every year with beach replenishment so the tourists have somewhere to put their beach chairs. Follow the money on the beach replenishment - it's not to protect the homes on the ocean front, it's to protect the tourism. Light houses have been succumbing to the Oceans for a long time, long before global warming and sea rise became an issue. Volcanos and wild fires cause more green house gases than anything else on this planet. If you can't stop them, everything else is a moot point. Pry me Excursion from my cold dead hands!!
