Scientists find "unprecedented" rates of sea level rise along some U.S. coasts that's 3 times higher than global average

Sea level rise has long been expected to be an ongoing and worsening problem for U.S. coasts, but scientists have found that some areas are experiencing "unprecedented" levels of rising seas, raising concerns about the fate of already vulnerable communities.

A new study published in Nature Communications on Monday found that since 2010, sea level rise along the nation's Southeast and Gulf coasts has ramped up dramatically, hitting rates that are "unprecedented in at least 120 years." Since 2010, scientists from Tulane University have found that sea levels in those regions have increased by about half an inch every year.

"These rapid rates are unprecedented over at least the 20th century and they have been three times higher than the global average over the same period," said Tulane professor Sönke Dangendorf, who led the study.

Numerous factors play a role in this sea level rise, scientists found, including those that are both natural and human-made. Study co-author Noah Hendricks said that they looked at those causes, including vertical land motion, ice-mass loss and air pressure, but that "none of them could sufficiently explain" the rampant rise.

It actually IS Science. Weather is science.

I mean the fact these areas have gotten hot with massive hurricanes might coastal erosion. Which is exactly what the sea level rising in a particular area usually means

“WOW!

About 8” total”

Closer to 11” in 110 years, by my calcs. 1” per decade lol. No catastrophe. And since we’re coming out of a mini-Ice Age, no surprise at all.

The climate alarmists have no data to back their claims. Just computer models, which have been very wrong so far. Yet still get Big Funding, sponsored by enemies of The US and Capitalism.

It’s all from communism, all the chaos and insanity here over the last 50 years. Wherever you look. “Green on the outside; red on the inside.” Aka, Watermelons.

It’s part of a deliberate plan. Fabians,then The Frankfurt School (Comey’s mentors). Fabians been working on it well over 100 years. Frankfurt School about 70.

What actual, reliable, untampered data is available? The long term tide charts,as demonstrated. And actual US temperature measurements from the USCRN.

Look up that graph. It’s hard to find. They bury it on purpose.

The water is pulled slightly towards the denser areas and piles up a bit forming a ‘mound’ (we’re talking about no more than a meter here).

Other than Charles Barkley; how big around is this mound?
