Seas are now rising faster than they have in 2,800 years, scientists say(DOOMAGE!)

A group of scientists says it has now reconstructed the history of the planet's sea levels arcing back over some 3,000 years - leading it to conclude that the rate of increase experienced in the 20th century was "extremely likely" to have been faster than during nearly the entire period.

"We can say with 95 percent probability that the 20th-century rise was faster than any of the previous 27 centuries," said Bob Kopp, a climate scientist at Rutgers University who led the research with nine colleagues from several U.S. and global universities. Kopp said it's not that seas rose faster before that - they probably didn't - but merely that the ability to say as much with the same level of confidence declines.

"...it's not that seas rose faster before that - they probably didn't - but merely that the ability to say as much with the same level of confidence declines."

Well that certainly is cause for concern. And these assclowns wonder why people have nearly zero faith in what the put out anymore. Talk about meaningless double talk. "It's not that the actually did but we can say it." WTF?

Allow me to be the tenth man, and say it’s not true.

Exactly why we moved to about 5500 ft. We saw the ocean daily creeping up the beach in Fl and knew we had to beat the rush to higher ground. No, really. LOL!

Well, 3,000 years ago the seas were lower. 13,000 years ago they were 150 ft lower. And then, the Ice Sheet over North America started melting.

Such bs i have been going to the same beach for close to 50 years its still the same walk from the parking lot to the water

[refermech]

Guess I’ll stay in Albuquerque for a while(5000 ft)

[al baby]

well 95 but oh well

[Zeneta]

I think they went on to say that, Manhattan and Washington DC were already completely flooded and nobody seems to care.

[soycd]

FACT: There are more airplanes in the sea than there are boats in the sky.

[Bogie]

But hey, you really can see it in the Keys.

[WKUHilltopper]

These people are paid off idiots. But I can’t wait to have ocean front property in Kentucky.

“Seas are now rising faster than they have in 2,800 years, scientists say”

Yeah well, it’s about time they were but don’t worry too much because it won’t last forever.

You’ll have beachfront property in 850 years

It's not far enough, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Was gonna retire there but the beautiful state has gone to lib for me. My choice wasn’t much better but at least there’s no state income tax. Yet. :>)
