The Petroglyph of Stockton.
This enigmatic, ancient monument remains a puzzle that cryptographers and archaeologists are yet to crack. Rival anthropological schools still heatedly argue over the significance of this decorated pyramidal monument rising from the Stockton shoreline.
Was it erected to appease the angry Ocean God(s) and preserve the dwindling shoreline? Are the strange cuneiform-like symbols on the shoreward face of the stone a warning to future generations?
We may never know.

#Antarctica is giving us a warning of #seaLevelRise decades in advance - now is our time to act
Scientists predict that the next three to five decades provide a critical window to anticipate and plan for Antarctic ice loss and its contribution to sea level rise

There is absolutely no political will to spend the Trillions-with-a-T that it will cost to save New Orleans and other low lying coastal cities from Climate Collapse.
The land will be worthless & unsellable soon, and that's just the way it is.
Government is not going to compensate you for your lost land and homes. Nor will insurance.

‘Severe’ stress on oceans as rate of sea level rise doubles in 10 years, UN warns https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/08/un-world-ocean-assessment-severe-stress-sea-level-rise-doubles-pollution-fishing-climate
"Human-driven sea-level rise has quadrupled the frequency of coastal sea-level extremes since 1900
Abstract
Coastal flooding events are escalating worldwide, yet the role of human-driven sea-level rise remains poorly constrained. Here we provide a global detection and attribution of changes in extreme sea-level frequency since 1900, combining tide-gauge records with historical and single-forcing experiments from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5. We show that relative sea-level rise, driven primarily by anthropogenic radiative forcing since the 1960s, has already transformed the likelihood of historically rare extremes. Globally, the median frequency of an historical 1-in-100-year extreme sea-level event has increased ~12-fold, with human-driven radiative forcing alone quadrupling the likelihood of such events. Natural variability still modulates regional patterns but has become secondary along most coastlines. These findings provide direct, observation-based evidence that climate change has already reshaped coastal flood hazard, underscoring the urgency of integrating attribution science into coastal adaptation, risk management and policy frameworks."
Sea-level rise in conjunction with storm surge and tidal variations leads to extreme sea levels that threaten coastal systems. Here the authors use tide-gauge data and models to quantify how anthropogenic climate change has increased the risk of these extreme sea-level events since 1900.
Human-caused sea-level rise has significantly increased the frequency of extreme coastal flooding worldwide, according to a new study led by a Tulane University researcher. The research, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, found that coastal flooding events expected only once every 100 years are now, on average, about 12 times more likely to occur.
Polls show most people believe in climate change, and think governments are not doing enough.
Here are a few things that I think the ("western") public has *not* yet accepted:
Feel free to add to the list
1) Air travel will have to be electrified ASAP, or largely go away
2) Sea travel will have to be decarbonised ASAP, or largely go away
3) Coastal areas are bad places to live
