thanks...

I really didn't need a sarcasm tag...

"By 2100, we could see as little as 8 inches of additional sea level rise, or over 6 feet—based partly on how much we continue to pollute the climate, and partly on how the oceans respond to climate change that's already baked in."

so the seas are going to reclaim part of what they lost ? What caused the seas to recede ? Global warming ? or...

I know, back to re-education camp for me...

What caused the seas to recede

Recession is local most likely as is reclamation as storms, high winds and the sea push the sand around. Then there are plate tectonics pushing up or down (along with attendant earthquakes) - just a tiny bit, but on long sloping shallows it becomes significant over hundreds of years.

Point is there are many non-obvious factors that cause “apparent” sea level rise or fall.

The 8” and the 6 foot quote is just ridiculous.
