How much (actual measurement) has the ocean risen there? I didn't see that little 'fact' anywhere in the article. Must be a minor oversight...
Data seem to indicate ~ 2-3 mm / yr rise on the East & West Coasts. Maybe the Kennedy Compound will be washed away. ;-)
Apparently it is enough that the next hurricane to hit will cause severe flooding, according to the article. We can't take the time to be bothered with any of those pesky little fact thingies LOL. Get ready for another Katrina!
That's a good question. It's hard to measure sea level. What do you compare it to in order to measure it?
