In I high school in 1974 a visiting college professor told us Richmond VA would be water front by year 2000 due to rising water.....i think its gone up a foot or so since then

No, it hasn’t. There has been ZERO sea level rise, and there has been ZERO temp rise. The temp has actually gone DOWN since 1974.
2.1 to 2.5 mm/year, and that rate has been STEADY since the early 1910’s.
So, the “internet” fiberoptic cables are relatively new technology , and haven’t been underground long. In TEN years, they’ll be only 2 inches closer to waterlevel. This reporter-propagandist is nuts.
“A foot or so” is normal shore erosion, not to be confused with sea level “rising”.
