The sea is receding in northern latitudes. Many ancient ports in Scandinavia and other northern climes are finding themselves a good distance away from the waters' edge(e.g., Kokkola, Finland). That means, physics non-majors, that the sea MUST RISE in the lower latitudes. This has nothing to do with global warming, unless the complaint is that the ice age ended and now we have to deal with the horrible consequences.
