Daddy said don't build/buy on sand. I followed his advice and invested in property 100 miles from the coast. The coast is like playing roulette. You might win big or you might lose it all.
Plymouth Rock was in fact moved to its present location in 1920, and is quite often covered by very high tides.
I don't think fossil fuels were around much in the 1920's,
But we have been burning wood f-o-r-e-v-e-r....and recent studies show burning wood releases 2.5 time the CO2 emissions.
I don't think fossil fuels were around much in the 1920's, The first fossil fuel was coal, used by the railroads. So we've been burning fossil fuels since the early/mid 1800's.
So you have coal, crude oil and natural gas from the early 1880's. And here we are 200 years later with the Co2 amounts the highest they've been in millions of years.
Plymouth rock has always been right at the edge of the sea. Hundreds of years later, it is still at the edge of the sea. The ocean is not rising like the climate catastrophe investors want you to believe, the sand is moving like it always has and always will. Sometimes slowly, sometimes all at once.
