### San Francisco Fog, Climate Change, Mudflats Observation

- **Episode:** [1465: Satheist](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1465-satheist.md)
- **Published:** 2022-07-03
- **Time:** 1:50
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1465-satheist/chapter/san-francisco-fog-climate-change-mudflats-observation.md

The discussion opens with observations of early fog in San Francisco, which is contrasted against typical July 4th weather patterns. Reference is made to Greenland ice melt and potential sea-level rise affecting the San Francisco Bay. Observations of local mudflats since 1870 are cited as evidence that significant coastal changes have not yet manifested despite global warming narratives.

Sir Robert Deccanay completes his requirements for a No Agenda patent of nobility and requests a jingle featuring Al Gore. The resulting clip features Gore warning that the melting of Greenland will require the world's maps to be redrawn, which the hosts mock by noting the lack of sea-level rise in the San Francisco Bay.

A report from 1860 by a botanist in California describes torrential rains that turned the Central Valley into a lake, alongside extreme heat and earthquakes. The hosts compare historical maps of San Francisco Bay mudflats from the 1880s to modern maps to argue that environmental conditions have remained largely consistent over time.

### San Francisco Bay Sinking, SFO Runway Flooding

- **Episode:** [1015: Pentacon](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1015-pentacon.md)
- **Published:** 2018-03-11

Research indicates that the San Francisco Bay shoreline is sinking by approximately two millimeters per year, with areas built on fill sinking up to ten millimeters annually. Combined with an eight-inch rise in sea levels since the Gold Rush, experts warn that runways at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) could be underwater by 2100. Local observations of the mudflats are currently obscured by heavy fog.

John Harrison, a local "ride buddy" of one of the hosts, achieves Baron status. Matthew Helley is knighted as Sir Matthew the Mapper, Baron of the Candianavian Hull. He previously provided the show with an 1800s map of the Bay Area showing that the local mudflats have remained largely unchanged for over a century.

Chief Meteorologist Bill Martin predicts significant rain for the Northern Silicon Valley area, but local observations at the mudflats contradict the forecast. The reported "wet commute" failed to materialize during the live broadcast. This discrepancy is used to criticize the reliability of long-term climate modeling.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/787-climate-deaths/chapter/san-francisco-bay-historical-maps-and-sea-level-stability.md

A comparison of USGS maps from 1895 and the present day shows that the mudflats in the San Francisco Bay have remained largely unchanged. This physical evidence is used to challenge claims of significant sea level rise over the last century. The maps also reveal how areas like Richmond were originally islands before being filled in.

### Mudflat Update, Star Wars Mac and Cheese Marketing

- **Episode:** [776: Climate Justice Cancelled](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/776-climate-justice-cancelled.md)

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/776-climate-justice-cancelled/chapter/mudflat-update-star-wars-mac-and-cheese-marketing.md

A "Mudflat Update" mocks claims that maps must be redrawn due to melting ice in Greenland, with John C. Dvorak reporting that the mudflats outside his window remain unchanged. The hosts then deconstruct a Kraft Macaroni & Cheese commercial featuring Star Wars figurines, labeling it a "room of lies." They argue the ad uses cognitive dissonance to link the value of collectibles with processed food.
