To put this in perspective if true, there are 25.4 millimeters to one inch. Roughly, it would take, at 2 mm a year, 12 years to rise one foot. I find it hard to believe that the ocean has been rising for past several thousand years at least 1 mm per year. In 2000 years at 1 mm per year, that would amount to an 80 foot rise. Am I missing something here?
Actually about 12 years to rise one inch. 2 mm/year x 12years = 24mm....just shy of an inch.
