American South sea levels from Texas to North Carolina rising TWICE as fast as rest of the world - threatening to flood your favorite vacation spots (only 6.73 years left)

Cities, towns and vacation spots across the American South are 'drowning' under rapidly rising tides that could soon put them underwater.

Ocean levels are at least six inches higher than they were a decade ago along a swathe of the country from Texas to North Carolina. An overall rising ocean is coupled with vicious tidal events that wreak havoc and kill locals, especially when they coincide with storms.

The problem is already affecting thousands of Americans living along the coast, and millions more across the US will feel it in the coming decades.

Climate change is steadily raising sea levels around the world, but the Gulf of Mexico is rising faster than almost anywhere else in the world.

'It’s irreversible,' Jianjun Yin, a climate scientist at the University of Arizona, told the Washington Post.

Scientists are perplexed as to why the region is so badly affected, with few other areas - such as the North Sea near the UK - have shown such as a similar increase.

An analysis by the Post found sea levels were rising twice as fast in the Gulf than the world average, and are dramatically accelerating.

Average sea levels in Charleston, South Carolina, rose 7 inches since 2010, which was twice as much as over the previous 30 years.

Tybee Island in Georgia rose 3.7 inches in 1980 to 2009, then 7.3 inches from 2010 to 2023, and Wilmington, North Carolina, rose 2.7 inches, then 7 inches, over the same spans.

Galveston, Texas, was the worst hit in the Post's research, jumping 8.4 inches in the past 14 years , which experts said was made worse by sinking land.

High tides flooded the area at least 141 times since 2015 and are expected to become far more frequent in the near future.

My land in Newport NC is still 7 inches above sea level at high tide.

Climate Change Denier! Iconoclast! ..Unclean!

Yes- water seeks a level, worldwide- correct. That’s because water is not compressible. The oceans are vast of course and the amount of pack ice or polar ice needed to raise them worldwide even 4 or 5 inches is phenomenal, and impossible.
The other factor of course is the amount of evaporation worldwide into the atmosphere. This chick should try calculating that!

Someone moved the Professor's tide-measuring stick again, didn't they?

Sometimes I believe I must be living in a world replete with nitwits and liars. How can it be that the ocean rises more in one place more than the other? What absolute perversion of science and what sickness by “scientists” who are pathological liars.

“Galveston, Texas, was the worst hit in the Post’s research, jumping 8.4 inches in the past 14 years , which experts said was made worse by sinking land.”

So the tide’s not rising...the land is sinking. Globull warming nonsense at its best.

That’s a powerful data point. No one has moved Plymouth Rock and the rising sea has not overtaken it in 400 years!

Well, the Arizona Chinaman says it’s possible. I’d certainly give it a go if I were you.

Looking at the American South Seas . . .

Yes! There they are! The states from Texas to North Carolina, are now floating of the western coast line of South America!

“For some reason, the Plymouth Rock is exactly the same as it was in 1620... right on the water’s edge.”

Plymouth rock has been moved a few times

“. The rock has been broken, split, and relocated multiple times over the past two and a half centuries, Donna D. Curtin, executive director of the Pilgrim Hall Museum in Plymouth, wrote in an email to The Associated Press. Such instances include the rock possibly being raised from its original location in 1749 due to the construction of a wharf, the removal of its top portion in 1774, and later its excavation and relocation onto the shoreline in 1920”

Texas has subsidence due to ground water pumping of the Gulf Coast aquifer this is why that land is sinking faster eustatic sea level change is not the reason. That said the earth is in the tail end of an interglacial epoch and sealevels rise during interglacial eras sometimes by hundreds of feet as the glaciers on land melt nothing not natural about that.

Texas is on the gulf. North Carolina is on the Atlantic. This idiot is in Arizona.

And.. to top it off.. I first heard this SAME STORY 55 years ago as a child!
