The world's oceans are now rising far faster than they did in the past, a new $tudy says.
The current sea level rise rate which started in 1990 is 2.5 times faster than it was from 1900 to 1990, according to a $tudy published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Scientists say that faster pace of sea level rise is from melting ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica and shrinking glaciers, triggered by man-made global warming.
"We're seeing a significant acceleration in the past few decades," said $tudy lead author Carling Hay, a geophysical researcher at Harvard University.
The new method uses statistical analysis and computer models to better simulate the areas in the gap.
Outside scientists praised the new $tudy, but were still cautious about adopting the estimates until more $tudies could be done.
"The implications are troubling accelerated ocean warming, ice sheet collapse and sea level rise all point to more and more sea level rise in the future, perhaps at a faster rate than previously thought," said Jonathan Overpeck, co-director of the Institute of the Environment at the University of Arizona. "This will make adaptation to climate change more difficult and costly."

We’re all gonna die!!!
Only those on our coasts will die. The rest of us will live long, happy lives because we no longer have to listen to them bully us.
The pitch is always the same:
“The climate is changing (hot or cold) due to man made causes! But, if you give us more power and money right now we can fix it! Hurry!”
Notice it’s never too late?
Uh, huh. Yep. Sure.
What a load of BS.
The study was done over a 12-hour period in the Bay of Fundy. Scientists were amazed and said, “This is remarkable and we should all head for the hills!”

LOL!...........................No wonder!........................
“The new method uses statistical analysis and computer models to better simulate the areas in the gap”
Repudiation doesn’t even necessitate invoking the Hawthorne effect this is as simple as “ crap in, crap out”
That's fine, because the effort is being funded with simulated money.
Claim: Acceleration in sea level rise worse than we thought

Meanwhile...here in Antarctica...Hut point, sitting on the lowest portion of the isthmus off of Ross Island has not seen the water rise and approach the historic hut of Admiral Scott.
The leftist religion is failing them so they simply get more shrill in their screaming of their schemes to control m ore by way of government.
Ooops - it turns out the ruler they were using was pretty narrow and it sank into the sand a bit.
The ocean is now 2.4” above sea level.
Bingo. You said the magic word - let’s drop a duck. SINKING. Continental shelves change and sink. Do these geniuses even factor that in?
I am not buying. I was in the city of EPHESUS, on the coasts of Turkey, and walked down a road towards the SEA. The guide said at one time the water mark came up to HERE, and now had receded. We were like 100 yards from sea level, and it appeared to me that the sea had SUNK back about 6 ft or 10 ft. With all of these dams, that countries have built, PONDS, and swimming pools, looks like that they are going to drain the sea. The Dead Sea was about 50 ft. below it’s regular water mark, they could let a bit of the OCEAN slide into the Dead Sea and at Death Valley....I’m not worried...
And the seashore now ten blocks from my home was fifty miles or more east. And it's come six or seven inches closer to my house just in the last hundred years! We're all gonna DROWN!
When can I buy oceanfront in Ohio? Could anyone recommend a town to buy lots of land so I can start an oceanfront resort?
That was a funny show ... Sorry, Ginger, Mary Anne was my dream...
