Extra sand from where?
Forbes ran a remarkable story a couple weeks ago, with the astonishing headline, “Northern Lights Forecast: Aurora May Be Visible In U.S. For Two Years, Scientists Say.” Two years!
The science part is that the May’s Solar Superstorm apparently stirred up Earth’s ionosphere, a thick upper layer of the atmosphere electrically charged by solar radiation. Who knew? Not only is it so stirred up it is producing persistent auroras in parts of the world where nobody’s ever seen them before, but it’s also heating up and moving the air in the upper atmosphere around. A lot.
The article stopped short of suggesting this could affect the weather somehow. I don’t blame them; they simply aren’t allowed to say that.

King tides. Happens at my condo too. I'm not saying they aren't full of shit but it happens.

But isn't it ultimately comes from the rivers and these are mostly dambed. There has been mucho crying about how coasts are eroding because of that.
On 2nd thought, I bet my sand is coming from crushed coral reefs. The tourists are helping greatly with this.
