How much has it risen at Hyannis, MA?
If the water level appears higher anywhere on the planet it’s because the landmass has sunken; not that the water has gotten deeper. It has been known for a long time that cosstlines in certain areas have been slowly subsiding. Or for the folks in Rio Linda, the ground has been sinking.

Some???
That’s not how water works.
“scientists have found that some areas are experiencing “unprecedented” levels of rising seas, raising concerns about the fate of already vulnerable communities.”

I think they are looking at land subsidence and calling it ocean rise. As oil and water are pumped out of the primarily sands, the interstitial space begins to compress causing subsidence. The gulf coast south of Houston is subsiding an inch or so per year.

When Obama panic sells his multimillion dollar beach house, I’ll start to believe this.
When insurance companies stop insuring rich people’s beach houses, I’ll start believing this.
When the market for beachfront property crashes, I’ll start believing it.
Until then, our rulers are demonstrating they do not believe the crap they put out.

Whoever they report about sea level rise in a particular region, not the whole world, it means they are actually talking about relative sea level not absolute sea level. Relative sea level changes due to land subsidence, tectonic movements, compaction due to construction. A common trick they use to mislead people is to make relative sound like absolute.

Scientists who have no understanding of simple fluid dynamics and the effects of gravity on fluids are NOT scientists. Must be common core science education.

Wasn’t Manhattan supposed to be underwater by now, and maybe L.A., too? So, we are going to get only the downside of this thing? WTF? What a ripoff.

The picture wasn’t from the 1600s. The rock is from 1620. It’s a current picture of the old rock.

"When insurance companies stop insuring rich people’s beach houses, I’ll start believing this." A lot of rich people on the beach self-insure their homes. In other words, they're not suckers.
