The oceans are rising faster than at any point in the last 28 centuries, and human emissions of greenhouse gases are primarily responsible, scientists reported Monday.
They added that the flooding that is starting to make life miserable in many coastal towns - like Miami Beach; Norfolk, Va.; and Charleston, S.C. - was largely a consequence of those emissions, and that it is likely to grow worse in coming years.
The ocean could rise as much as three or four feet by 2100, as ocean water expands and the great ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica begin to collapse.
Experts say the situation will grow far worse in the 22nd century and beyond, likely requiring the abandonment of many of the world's coastal cities.
Scientists already knew that the sea level rose drastically at the end of the last ice age, by almost 400 feet, causing shorelines to retreat by up to 100 miles in places. They also knew that the sea level had basically stabilized, like the rest of the climate, over the past several thousand years, the period when human civilization arose and spread across the earth.

“Sea levels rising...was largely a consequence of those [human carbon] emissions.”
Is that a fact?
**The ocean could rise as much as three or four feet by 2100**
The dates provided by these chicken little types is always just beyond the time that all of us who read it will be dead.
Rather convenient, wouldn’t you say?
Scientists Admit Oceans Are Not Rising But Donât Understand Why
There are many ancient Roman seaports that are now underwater. The Ice Ages lowered the sea levels and now the Earth is still reclaiming what was once dry land.........................
Even the paranoid projected ocean rise is a meter per century. How does that relate to 400 feet?
We in Kansas are looking forward to dipping out feet in the ocean.
The seas are indeed rising at an alarming rate. And a few hours later they recede at an equally alarming rate.
They keep doing this over and over.
We have gone beyond Global Climate Change into....
Gasp...
Global Vacillation!!
has anybody thought of the possibility that the land masses may be subsiding? Or isn’t that permitted?
Rise of sea levels is ‘the greatest lie ever told’
The uncompromising verdict of Dr Mörner is that all this talk about the sea rising is nothing but a colossal scare story, writes Christopher Booker.
Good I want some beachfront property.
And we know this because the world had sea measurers at every ocean every year measuring the rise and fall of sea levels FOR THE PAST 2,800 YEARS, keeping good records that all went to some sea level repository that we now have access to.
BULLSHIT.
“The ocean could rise as much as three or four feet by 2100, as ocean water expands and the great ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica begin to collapse.”
Or fall.
Is this article from the 1980s? Antarctic ice sheet is growing per the satellite data. Man Made CO2 = warmer earth = melting ice = rising sea levels = we are all going to die.
Try this with EXACTLY as much proof: Man buys 5 gallon bucket = man extracts water from ocean = man dumps said water on dry land 20 miles inland = sea levels lowering = ocean life is doomed.
Prove my argument wrong.
Well, my house is at 12 ft. above sea level, so I’m safe..................for now...........................
Owe-bama promised, if elected, he would stop the seas from rising.
So we’ve had about 3 inches in the previous 100 years, so now they say 4 feet in 80 years? Good solid science right there.
I thought obama stopped the rise ...
Wow! So the seas have been rising for 2800 years. Aaaaaaannnd what was the reason before the warming boogieman?
