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."

B-B-But Obama was supposed to have fixed that.
They must be using the same measuring stick Gilligan used to set his lobster traps with that the Professor used to measure the sea level in the lagoon......................
perhaps at a faster rate than previously thought,
perhaps he says....
lets base our entire future an a whole batch of these “perhapses”
Horse Hockey Puck!
Totally fraudulent reporting, since the cause of both meltings is magma.
Looks like we’re all gonna die...AGAIN!
Sea level used to be 20 to 30 feet higher some 9,000 years ago when global warming peaked.
I am so gullible. When all this sea-rise bunk started, I purchased inexpensive property between 1/4 and 1/2 mile from the ocean, hoping it would become ocean front property. I guess I got caught holding the bag. (just kidding)
SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer , is a rabid, drooling leftist. He is also the laughing stock of the entire scientific community.
Fascinating conclusion considering Antarctic sea ICD is at record level and that for every Glacier that is shrinking there are 3 that are growing.
I can assure the world that at Deltaville, Va, the sea water levels are exactly where they have been since 1966. Deltaville is on the a tidal creek attached to the Chesapeake Bay, which is attached to the Atlantic Ocean and all the other oceans.
So just where is this sea water rising?
B..Bu..But scrubama promised in his 2008 rat coronation speech that ocean levels would begin to fall once he was elected.
What gives?
Rising everywhere?
Nope.
Sinking in other places?
Yes.
Let’s see some NUMBERS, MSM.
You know, those things that drove idiots like you out of the STEM subjects and into journalism.
10,000 years ago the city I live in was covered with almost 2 miles of ice. Yes, ice!.
From a statistical significance perspective, comparing the period of 1990 to today vs. 1900 to 1990 is about the same as saying the sea level increased 2 times more rapidly today than it did yesterday. These people are complete jokes.
