No rising ocean.

Having lived my entire adult life in a coastal area, 45 years just this week, and being a dedicated follower of the weather having worked and played outdoors all those years, the sea rise is subtle but noticeable because the town floods much more often during the regular summertime storms. The water is unable to run off during high tides as easily as it used to. And don't get me started on the increasing frequency of record high temperatures, the decreased frequency of wintertime temps at 0 degrees C or below, and the stronger, more rapidly developing tropical systems.

How are the floods in NSW this fucking time? Every 6 fucking weeks.

I'm reading old English Chronicles in the Mitchell Library in Sydney at the moment. In the late 1100's and early 1200's they described the same things we've been going through: we had a raging bushfire in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, then on exactly the same day the following year, it was snowing in the same place. Floods, including washing bridges away, winds so bad houses, churches, and one year in the 1200's castles were blown down (cyclones?). Weeks of frost, unusually warm years, pestilence due to the weather, flooding in Westminster so people rowed small boats in the great hall and rode horses to their apartments (Westminster was once a palace, not parliament as it is now), sudden heavy rain, violent thunderstorms and hail the size of goose eggs. It was just like the last few decades. If it's a cycle, then we have several more decades to go.

Well before 1250BC, Britain, when it was called Albion, was grasslands with scattered trees, according to the few copied accounts we have. All claim their authority on one book written in Brittonic (the language the Britons spoke when the Romans invaded).

Supporting evidence? The Orkney Islands north of Britain are home to Skara Brae, its midden (rubbish heap) has the bones of warm water fish.

Warm water fish... in the ocean north of the UK... if it's a cycle, we've seen nothing yet of what the weather can do.

Before 1250BC, 1100's-1200's, 1990's-?
