1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.
2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.
3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.
4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.
5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.
6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.
7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
Yes it is a thing of the past.
300 ft at the end of the most recent (not the last, there will be more) ice age.
About 5000 ft in the Mediterranean when the natural dam at what is now the straights of Gibraltar failed.
Those both happened, and were both in the past...
The Vikings colonized portions of Greenland and were able to plant warm-weather crops such as potatoes.
Well that is inconvenient. /s
Check photos of the moat at Fort Monroe. The tide has been changing there for 150 years. There may be an inch of movement there but whatever it may be it is pretty negligible.
The sea level rise issue comes from ignorance on the part of some, deception by others, and invalid and incorrect assumptions by some so called “scientists” regarding when oceans & ice evaporates due to greater warming, where will all that water go.
While I do not support their thesis, their own error is in how much the greater evaporation of seas and ice will return to the seas. Yes, all rivers do eventually flow to the seas. But what they vastly under estimate is (a) how much water can and will be retained in existing and possibly new land-locked lakes and (b) how much water will be added to the land-based water table and underground reservoirs and aquifers. They also under estimate how a greener planet will have a greater abundance of green plants which will absorb great amounts of water also.
That is only to suggests, that there is every possibility that the greater warmth they predict, even if it nears that prediction (not saying it will), could conceivably NOT produce all the calamities they claim it will. Changes yes, but not necessarily calamities.

Just got back from Miami Beach and the Keys.
No change in the last 14 years!
If anything the sea level looked lower at high tide!
The people of Miami building houses and condos on the water ways and canals with living space at ground level are just plain stupid.
On the program CSI Miami, the opening sequences traverse many such areas that are doomend. If not completely wiped away by a hurricane direct hit, the damage will be beyond measuring.
Greedy realestate sales people that developed such certain calamaties should be drug into the street and shot. Their sins are unforgivable
What's happening in Miami is NOT sea levels rising because of global warming.
How do I know this? Because water is never higher on one side of a glass than the other side...
I live up-water a few hundred miles and our sea level HAS NOT risen.
(I read the explanation for Miami's problem some months back... very complex stuff. Shame on liberals for using Miami's unusual situation to push their lies...)
3mm/year = 1/8-inch...
Be afraid, be very afraid...
Our betters will define the “correct” temperature and climate for us, and because they are our betters they can change their mind as often as they wish.
It is settled science!
We can fix this!
Everyone. Drink more water.
