It took an entire century to rise 15 centimeters. That is about half a foot. Continental drift is much faster than that!

The real story:
Pacific sea levels rising very slowly and not accelerating
Parker A., Ollier C., 2019. Pacific sea levels rising very slowly and not accelerating. Quaestiones Geographicae 38(1), pp. 179–184. 3 figs.
Abstract: "Over the past decades, detailed surveys of the Pacific Ocean atoll islands show no sign of drowning because of accelerated sea-level rise. Data reveal that no atoll lost land area, 88.6% of islands were either stable or increased in area, and only 11.4% of islands contracted. The Pacific Atolls are not being inundated because the sea level is rising much less than was thought. The average relative rate of rise and acceleration of the 29 long-term-trend (LTT) tide gauges of Japan, Oceania and West Coast of North America, are both negative, −0.02139 mm yr−1 and −0.00007 mm yr−2 respectively. Since the start of the 1900s, the sea levels of the Pacific Ocean have been remarkably stable."
This says that the Pacific Ocean level over recent decades has actually been dropping, super slowly, at the rate of 0.08 inches per century. There are some locations around the Pacific Rim where coastal land is subsiding but that has nothing to do with the ocean level itself.
Maybe he could put his son on the board of an organization that would make Antarctica colder. He could call it MACA which is Make Antarctica Cool Again.
LOL !!
Sea level rise?
That’s why brak ubama bought beachfront property, right?
Yeesh, they can’t even keep it straight..
Obama needs to get his binoculars er periscope out and take a closer look.... ;-)
"Continental drift moves faster than sea level rises from global warming."
Mightn’t that ice melting be because it’s...uh...summer in Antarctica?
Yeah, Bernie, when you tax us into serfdom, it’ll make the icebergs get bigger. How could anyone deny that? /s
Oops. Biden, Bernie.
All morons sound alike at 4 am.
Well, soon they’ll be blaming Trump for continental drift and taxing “drift credits.”
Summer plus an erupting volcano (Mt Erebus).
The sun is the only thing that controls global climate.
This quote made from a hot dog stand outside bernies rally, would you like mustard on that dog face?
In China, accidents in coal fields have set the coal seams on fire (and unminable). They are terrible with health and safety and environmental safeguards.
The amount of CO2 from burning coal seams (almost impossible to put out) equals the USA CO2 output from trucks and cars each year.
Biden/Bolton 2020 No Malarkey!
Senile old men will say anything to get elected.
