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.

IOW they are making up that Florida in particular is experiencing sea rise because DeSantis is governor.

Water finds its own level, therefore water would rise around the globe in all interconnected bodies of water.>> Yes but there are differences in the levels of water on our planet due to tides and the geometry/gravity and what is flying around our planet at any given moment. and you do know we live on a globe not a bathtub. but yes if the rise is a problem it would be everywhere. I think these are tidal changes.

You wrote “Sea Levels dont rise in just certain places”
Respectfully, thats wrong.

Take for example, places where pff- shore ocean currents are slowing, (The Gulf Steam is slowing along the US East Coast) The sea level on the nearby shoreline will rise due to reduced Corriolis effect.

Hope that helps

I live in the midlands of SC, and I’llnow plan to wear a Styrofoam life ring to my car if I have leave the house at low tide. High tide? You think I’m crazy?

Seriously, I find this absurd report to be troubling because it suggests they think we will accept nonsense that is contradicted by what we plainly see for ourselves. (I often felt this was the case during the pandemic, BTW.)

... both natural and human-made.

Ok; LIST all of them; not just SOME of them.

(And be sure to attribute each one as to whether it is NATURAL or h-m.)

In 1774, the rock broke in half during an attempt to haul it to Town Square in Plymouth. One portion remained in Town Square and was moved to Pilgrim Hall Museum in 1834. It was rejoined with the other portion of the rock, which was still at its original site on the shore of Plymouth Harbor, in 1880. The date 1620 was inscribed at that time. The rock is now ensconced beneath a granite canopy.

Of course they did! I suspect they measured the “rise” in the ocean during high tides, in an area where home building and more activity were eroding the beaches.

When I was about 15 years of age, I was promised that the area in which I currently live would soon be beach-front property. Although I’m still living in the area in which I grew up, I remain 150 miles from the coast. In the 70s, I was told that Florida would be under water and that New York would be under ice by the year 2000. Neither thing has happened.

It has been almost 50 years since I came home spouting the “global cooling” b.s. to my parents (the left has been at this a long time and my “science” teacher was a true “global cooling believer). My mother shook her head and told me she had been hearing the same thing since she was a child and not to worry about it, and she returned to the kitchen to check on supper.

My Dad told me not to pay attention to idiots (in very strong and colorful language), and then asked “which one of you kids are going to help me get my work boots off my tired and swollen feet?

And that was that when it came to my belief in anything close to climate “cooling, warming or change”. If Dad and Mom said it was not true, that was good enough for me!

And then when I was older, I did my own research and thought to myself “Dad and Mom really were right!”

I have seen areas along the Texas coast where the land has subsided and subdivisions have been put into danger. The sea is not rising.

Water finds its own level, therefore water would rise around the globe in all interconnected bodies of water.

Actually not, sea level is different in different places, for example sea level on the Pacific Ocean is 20cm higher than the Atlantic,

But yeah, Global Warming is causing increasing sea level rise is BS

I remember seeing a picture taken in the 1800’s of a lighthouse, then a picture of the same lighthouse a couple yrs ago. The water lever didn’t change at all

I may have fallen off of the turnip truck a while back but I did manage to get back on. So can someone explain how sea level is somehow different in some areas of the earth than others?

You are secure on the turnip truck, my good FRiend.

Water still seeks its own level.

Archimedes' principle remains in effect.

If there were unprecedented rates of sea level rises along our eastern coast, the levels would have risen, proportionately everywhere. Most noticeably, in the Maldives, the equatorial chain of low, low altitude islands. (They would have been long underwater.)

Deceit.

It's the Dems' and their non-scientist pals' middle name.

So the sea level down there has gone up by 6 inches since
2010? Really?

Some one down there has imaginary sea level envy.

Hey, it’s called HIGH TIDE and it’s due to the gravitational pull of the moon.
