“Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said the evidence of climate change is already being witnessed in more acidic oceans and rising seas.

“Our sea levels are rising,” he said. “It’s not complicated. You measure that with a yardstick.””

Maybe the land is sinking...

Hard to measure a 3 mm. rise per year with a yardstick as it is only 0.118 inches.

Satellite data shows that sea levels have not been rising faster in last 20 years

You don't need a yardstick when talking about a millimeter or two. I wonder if Whitehouse even knows how trivial that is, when measuring his "rising" sea levels.

Oh and btw the oceans at larger are not "more acidic," they are alkaline and always will be.
