Inconvenient: NASA shows global sea level…pausing, instead of rising

Melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are speeding up the already fast pace of sea level rise, new satellite research shows. At the current rate, the world's oceans on average will be at least 2 feet - - 61 centimeters - - higher by the end of the century compared to today, according to researchers who published in Monday's Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences.
The research, based on 25 years of satellite data, shows that pace has quickened, mainly from the melting of massive ice sheets. It confirms scientists' computer simulations and is in line with predictions from the United Nations, which releases regular climate change reports.
"It's a big deal" because the projected sea level rise is a conservative estimate and it is likely to be higher, said lead author Steve Nerem of the University of Colorado.
Global sea levels were stable for about 3,000 years until the 20th century when they rose and then accelerated due to global warming caused by the burning of coal, oil and natural gas, said climate scientist Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute in Germany, who wasn't part of the study.

I guess those “hundreds” must have been smart enough to simply walk out of the way.
The point I was making was that if sea levels are rising, the path would be gone—and its still as it has been for half a millennium.

The Little Ice Age continues to abate.....
If true that sea levels will rise 2 feet in 82 years, so what. The port facilities and homes will be rebuilt anyway during that time period. Raise them up ten feet when they are rebuilt, good for 500 years. You’re welcome!
That’s not fair, our models aren’t prepared for real scientific facts.
