The crust is recovering from the weight and parts are sinking, which gives the appearance of sea level rise.

I have come to the conclusion that some people are willfully ignorant of logic and as long as the story they get fed supports their worldview, they don't care if it stands up to examination.

The world's oceans are not like a concrete swimming pool. Over the past 100 years a whole lot of construction has occurred on coastlines. People want to live there, buildings and roadways are heavy, people need water to drink. Soil gets compacted, aquifers get drained, erosion pulls topsoil away, pollution kills off oyster beds etc... and that's before you account for plate tectonics and the effects of the last ice age. If you wanted to so something real about sea level measurements, you would return. Portions of coastal cities throughout the western world to nature. Restore an equilibrium with nature and allow wetlands that have been overtaken by humanity to be depopulated and the residents resettled to places where their existence doesn't insult Gaia so darned much.

The climatocracy believes that somehow this epoch is unusual. Check out stuff about the younger dryas period and the heating that occured towards the close of it. Very interesting

Your so full of it. Do you really really think that the concrete, tarmac,and other infrastructure can compare to a two mile thick glacier?. Ireland sits on the edge of western edge of the the European Subduction Zone and is subsiding. The sea is not rising, the Eastern edge of Ireland is sinking. FYI the alluvial Eastern edge of Britain is eroding into the North Sea. Stick around 50 million years snd watch it disappear.
