Scientists have documented an abnormal and dramatic surge in sea levels along the U.S. gulf and southeastern coastlines since about 2010, raising new questions about whether New Orleans, Miami, Houston and other coastal communities might be even more at risk from rising seas than once predicted.
The acceleration, while relatively short-lived so far, could have far-reaching consequences in an area of the United States that has seen massive development as the wetlands, mangroves and shorelines that once protected it are shrinking. An already vulnerable landscape that is home to millions of people is growing more vulnerable, more quickly, potentially putting a large swath of America at greater risk from severe storms and flooding.

All the multimillion dollar mansions on that coast are being sold for building materials salvage cost.
I could never figure out how the deep water knows to stay out of the shallow end of the pool.
If the "seas" have drastically risen along the US SE coast, then they would have risen drastically everywhere on our fine planet. (It's Archimedes' Principle. Not at all difficult.)
Bottom line, if the "seas" were rising, then the Maldives (near the equator, low, low height above sea level) would have been under the sea years ago.
Deceit and Fear.
The middle names of the Dems and the left.
So seas only rose on the east coast, eh?
Does anything additional need be said? Oh, and the COVID worked, masks work, and wind and solar power are the future.
Yeah, if they’ve risen, shouldn’t we be living like the characters in the movie “Waterworld”?
Only 4”? Poor fella
Heeheeeee! It wasn’t easy I turned the ruler around. Wish I had thought of that sooner.
I’m thinking those southern boys know to back away from the water if it comes up closer.
Interesting how they state the sea level is rising, when it is the land being eroded and/or sinking.
What BS!
I can look out over the top of this computer and still see both of my busted dock pilings sticking out of the water at high tide, and they look exactly the same as they did after Isabel pulled one of my docks apart and left these busted pilings behind...
Stinking communist bull crap!
So the same rise seen in Florida would be seen in Australia...Africa...Asia....
No they haven’t.
Who writes this stuff? And who is dull enough to believe it?
Yeah, but if you say it with authority, many Americans are ignorant and will never question it.
This is dangerous misinformation / disinformation. Shut em down folks.
Yes.
If global warming would be the case, all the seas would rise the same.
Since it is a localized effect, then it must be caused by sinking the land in those areas!
PCB is underwater.
Or not.
What, did Key West flood?
Sounds like subsidence, while water levels remain the same.
I hope 0bama and Big Mike have water wings! Sure would hate to see anything happen to them and spoil their, ‘American Taxpayer Paid-for Dream Life!’
