San Francisco takes climate change seriously and is preparing for a rise in sea level that will swamp the iconic Ferry Building by considering raising it 7 feet.  The fact that the bay sea level has hardly risen in the past 40 years (and undoubtedly long before that) is ignored.  Given the number of businesses and residents who have left the city one wonders where the money for such a massive undertaking will come from.  California is the land where dreams come true.

Ditto for the Canadian Rockies.  Lots of fossils/sea shells at 5000+ feet.  Average sea level rose ~400 feet since last glaciers so there were lots of upheavals going on.  But as the lower picture shows not so much going on over the short term.

‘A natural desire to diversify': Janet Yellen says Americans should anticipate a decline in the USD as the world's reserve currency

 

The dollar’s dominance in global trade and capital flow dates back at least 80 years — not just because the U.S. is the world’s largest economy, but also because oil and other essential commodities are priced in the greenback.

Prominent powerhouses India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have officially started trading with each other in their local currencies.

At the 14th BRICS Summit last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced measures to create a new “international currency standard.” Meanwhile, China has been urging oil producers and major exporters to accept yuan for payments, and major oil exporter Saudi Arabia has said it’s “open” to the idea of trading other currencies.

Even long-time allies, like France, have made non-dollar transactions since the U.S. ramped up its sanctions. In April, French President Emmanuel Macron said Europe must reduce its dependence on the U.S. dollar in order to keep its “strategic autonomy” and avoid becoming “vassals” (subordinate) to America.
