The Extinction of Boston

Fig. 1

Regular commenter Randy recently made a comment we all thought was relevant and valid.

Since current civilization's string pullers do not have much, if any, respect for the natural world, why not focus the reality of extinction on members of Petroleum Civilization (a.k.a. Industrial Civilization)?

So, in that light, I have been doing an "extinction of" series (The Extinction of Philadelphia, The Extinction of Washington, D.C., The Extinction of Robust Sea Ports).

Today's graphs depict the fate of Boston, MA, in the context of 5 acceleration models.

We can't know which one is the most accurate, but all of them contain the actual recorded history of sea level change (SLC) at Boston, then that historical reality is followed by a computed projection up to the year 2100.

A red dot appears at the junction of the past (up to Dec. 2014) and the future (2015 - 2099 - we don't have the complete 2015 just yet).

In either of the 5 acceleration rate cases (7, 10, 15, 20, or 25), the sea level rise (SLR) is going to make those east coast sea ports extinct in this century.

Since the SLC rates are different at different city/sea port locations, they will not

become extinct at the same time (cf. Weekend Rebel Science Excursion - 44).

The problem of SLC on ports is the least understood and most problematic of those commonly discussed in the propaganda media, so, if you are interested you can read the accounts of the insurmountable problems that exist in this context on the Dredd Blog Series Posts page @ SEA LEVEL CHANGE (Sea Ports ... "its the economy sea ports stupid").

The only thing that could have been done years ago was not done.

In fact, instead of doing what needed to be done, the necessary requirement was deceptively covered up with deliberate lies and distractions (The Criminally Insane Epoch Arises - 4).

Now, whether Oil-Qaeda is prosecuted or not, the extinction of Boston looms on the relatively near horizon (You Are Here - 5).
