This study makes no sense. CO2 output before 1915 was only a tiny fraction of total global CO2 output levels of the last 30 years, so if CO2 was causing higher sea levels then that rise in sea levels should have happened in the last 30 years, not before 1915. Did the people who wrote this study really conclude that rising sea levels are connected to CO2, and if so why? There's no statistical correlation in this study.
Let's kill the cap and tax plan permanently. Global warming theory (warming caused by CO2) is a complete hoax pushed by supporters of global income redistribution and world government. The IPCC's climate forecasting model is riddled with errors.

Ping me if you find one I've missed.
More of the usual Bravo Sierra Sea levels hav been rising at roughly the same rate for 12,000 years.

The Sea isn’t rising. NC is sinking. Relativity is a funny thing.That's a possibility unless there's evidence to the contrary.

Because global warming affects NC only.

Well it appears North Carolina is sucking up all that extra water, Whoopeeeeee for the rest of us.
Global warming problem solved!!!

Fascinating...just the North Carolina sea levels are rising! Mabey North Carolina is sinking instead!

...not to mention that atmospheric CO2 levels in the last 30 years have been much higher than back before 1915 when this rise in sea levels occurred. Thus there is no statistical correlation proved here between CO2 and sea levels.

Gee, that correlates to the warming after the Dalton Minimum. Sounds about right.

Just North Carolina? Plenty of places where it isn’t rising any faster than it ever has, so perhaps the Atlantic coast area is maybe SINKING a little too, I wonder how they figure that into their formula.

An 1/8” per year is what they are claiming, I call BS on this, an inch every 8 years? Ten inches in a single long lifespan? No way.

I think it was on Drudge today that insturments set up to measure ocean levels have shown no change in last 20-30 years.

Since sea level is a reference around the planet the only way to rationalize localized sea level changes is by concluding that the land mass has moved with respect to sea level.
To: decimon; Redleg Duke
The Upper Midwest is still rebounding from the dramatic loss of it's formerly natural (and quite normal) 2 mile high ice sheet about 15,000 years ago.
That's CONTINENTAL MASS that's "rebounding" or "rising".
North Carolina, et al, rest on a relatively thinner piece of the continent and should sink as the mass only a few hundred miles to the West rises.
It's like gigantic teetertotter!
