Global Sea-level Rise: Faster than Ever?

Since atmospheric CO2 emission levels do not correlate with such changes prior to the industrial age, the upward trend in temperature and sea level will continue regardless of the political campaign to impose economy-destroying carbon asceticism on the world’s population ...

How much has the sea level actually risen in the last 1000 years????

This is great news, right now it’s a 2.5 hour drive to the beach. A 2 foot rise would cut an hour off that.

“Man”, I mean “person the life boats and pass out the PFDs.” We all gonna drownded. Or not. Can you say Aleutian land bridge.

[Olympiad Fisherman]

I am so relieved as well .....

Faster than ever? I love the Millenials who think the world did not exist before smart phones.

While they may not believe in the Noah story, the idea of a deluge is documented in almost every culture. I would be willing to bet the sea levels popped up a bit then.

Funny how they never tell you that. I know on the Chesapeake Bay it has not risen an inch in 50 years.

But there is reason to believe that the ocean is two to three feet higher than it was in Roman times, say 44 BC. Even so, somehow civilization survived.

About 20 years ago the Russians drilled down through 6 ice ages in multiple locations in the artic and determined that CO2 lagged, not lead too warming.

There are archeological ruins all over the world that were submerged priortonthe 20th century. I guess the native Indians caused global warming too, right?

Zero.

I had read recently (sorry, can’t cite the source) that the sea level has dropped in two of the last three years.

I’m not surprised since Antarctica continues to accumulate ice mass at around 200 cubic miles per year and there’s some evidence that the Greenland glacier is also growing.

There are no other sources of ice that could raise sea level to any significant degree.

Yes, but that is because the land submerged. Average Sea Level of the major oceans has not changed. The amount of water on Earth has not changed since it's inception. The water moves around, in relation to the land moving up or down.

Yeah, I didn’t think so...Thanks...

[JBW1949]

Thanks...

I’ve been holding out for ocean front property, but it never seems to happen.

[TChad]

The SKY IS FALLING OCEAN IS RISING!

Very slowly.

[goodnesswins]

We have a small beach house...on beach street..not on beach side...we are sure the area was submerged at one time...all there is, is sand underneath the house. Idiots think coastlines don’t change over time!!!!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

The OCEAN IS RISING!

HEY!...If it freaks out the RATs...I'm all for it.

[lurk]

Got to be dumb as a post to buy into this.
