	<description><![CDATA[Hey Gunnar -<br />
Thanks for you comments. Yes, you are right, the natural cliff erosion has been going on forever, BUT, having watched the erosion first hand for many years, it is absolutely obvious that it is accelerating, especially in the last 10 years.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[One doesn't need to be a global warming skeptic to doubt that "rising sea levels and [global warming-induced] fiercer storms" are a big part of the problem with costal erosion in Southern California. Flooding and the collapse of costal cliffs started long before anyone built houses there and well before we did much to add to the world's carbon dioxide supply. Damning of rivers that supplied sand (as mentioned), the building of breakwaters that stop sand from flowing south, and in some cases in Malibu, the creation of sea walls that ultimately redirect waves to further undermine cliffs have all had a direct and dramatic effect on the beaches. Building on the beach is in some ways unwise nearly everywhere. Without global warming, sand would be regularly washed away by storms, cliffs would collapse, and houses would be threatened.]]></description>
