a nine-inch rise in over 100 years in seas

Has that actually happened? I'm not sure I care too much, but I'm not sure this sort of fear as really been realized.

I don't think that the 9-inch sea level rise is correct:

I often see pictures of beachfront property from 100 years ago compared to today. There is no noticeable difference whatsoever. I think we would notice a nine inch rise in sea levels at the beachfronts by comparing those photographs. Certainly we would have seen the difference at Miami Beach (pictured below) but we just keep building and building on that strip of beach because we know it's going to be around for quite a while.

Would elites really be snapping up oceanfront properties if they thought they would be soon under water due to "global warming"? Even they know it's all a big scam to swindle working class people out of more tax dollars.

They don't look too worried about rising sea levels on Miami Beach.

Pretty sloppy writing. Jack Hellner is obviously no more a scientist than Seth Borenstein or the rest of the alarmists. It is fine to poo-poo fake talking points but it is a lot better to offer actual relevant facts and empirical findings. Not that any of it will dissuade the true believers, but it is good to be grounded in reality.

No, the “nine inch sea level rise in over 100 years” is not correct. I have Never seen that number in any of the literature. He just pulled it out of his hat. The fact is, the absolute sea level is rising about 2 mm per year. It is not accelerating, it has been steady since measurements began. It has little to do with global warming, although that contributes to a microscopic degree. The stories about coastal flooding, such as Miami being periodically washed over at high tide etc are cherry picked events like king tides and which btw are made worse by land subsidence— Miami beach is a mangrove swamp filled with landfill by real estate developers, and yes it is slowly sinking as it settles.
