Coyoteman said: "For some historical perspective, sea levels have risen on the close order of 400-440 feet since the last ice age (12-15,000 years)."

Let's see...

That would be a 400 foot rise over about 150 centuries, or about two and a half feet per century.

I wonder how they explain the sudden slowing of the rise at the Golden Gate, with only about one-fourth of the expected rise?

That's why they need massive funding: to answer the questions being raised.

First they must create a problem big enough to justify large funding requests to "study" the problem, so that more data supporting the original premise may be created, so that more funding .......

Now do we see ?

My father had a shorter, free, version that went like this:
"If a frog had a glass a$$, he wouldn't jump".

The sea level rise has not been uniform. the majority of this ca. 400 feet was at the beginning.

There is a good chart on Wikipedia.
