as a teenager in the summer 50 years ago, water lapped under the boardwalk in Sea Isle and the beach was way way out in Wildwood.

Guess what 50 years later it is still the same.

having been in the Navy eons and eons ago. I can say the oceans are bigly big big. I can’t believe if every inch of ice melted that the oceans would rise maybe a few inches at best.

Roger that. If anyone wants to feel insignificant, a tour in a 50's destroyer escort in the North Atlantic in 50 foot seas should do the trick. 😲 Yeah, oceans are YUGE! Thanks for your service.

Do your homework.

Yes, I go jogging past a beach that I’ve jogged by for at least 40 years. Nothing has changed, if they were right the jogging path I use would long ago have been underwater.

Another good example—Utsukushima Shrine in Japan, intentionally built on pilings right above the water so it looks like its floating at high tide. The water comes up right where it has always come up. That shrine was built in something like the 12th century.

Ocean levels swing about 400 FEET depending on how much water is sequestered in glaciers Just 20,000 years ago, the oceans were 400 feet lower than today. It wasn't that long ago -- just ten times further back from when Christ walked the earth. It was about four times further back from when writing was invented. It was in the lifetime of paleo man and Neanderthals.
