Fascinating...just the North Carolina sea levels are rising!

They say this is consistent with other Atlantic coast studies.

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!
