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.

Impressive. I guess they didn’t get the memo that the reason the seas are not rising is because somehow the land is absorbing all of the icecap melt water (this week’s excuse).
They had better watch out, because Obama’s Ministry of Truth is unforgiving to those who have not kept up with the latest newspeak. They are treading dangerously close to thoughtcrime.
If all the ice on the planet - including that in fridges and cold storages melted seal level would rise a whoping 40 feet, or 12+ meters.
I JUST FILLED UP A MASON JAR WITH ICE AND WATER ... AFTER THE ICE MELTS I’LL REPORT BACK ... BEFORE I DO ... I STATE THE REPORT IS BS
ROFL. Now you are getting into my world application of the logic that the MMGW religious zealots use to support their faith. I always postulate insane solutions and theories as ridiculous as theirs to spur an argument with these people that will enable me to open their mind to their own ridiculous ideas. Science? Yea, right.
I like my 5 gallon bucket solution too. When they start to logically destroy my solution to rising sea levels, I tell them that I can raise the sea level all by myself too. If I urinate in the ocean, have I not added mass to it? If I add liquid mass to a liquid, is it not a fact that there is now more in it and thus the level has to rise? Well then, if I remove a mass of water, doe it then not also go down? When they have had enough and are frustrated with the premise, then you can ask them to answer some very basic questions that screw holes in the entire MMGW hoax.
Just when you think the lie has died off.
Isn't it amazing that people can be experts on something they can not possibly have any experience.
It is all theory and models designed with a specific outcome in mind. So naturally the outcome matches their prediction.
On the other hand their predictions rarely match reality.
Mr. Goebbels. What caused the sea levels to rise 28 centuries again. I’ll take my answer on the air.
So glad they had 2800 years worth of data to base this upon /epic sarc
You ain’t kidding! How in the world do these folks ever come up with this data. Is it like a game of “telephone”?
God told them so?
They dont even pretend anymore. They just make sh*t up.
They could also be sinking...
Of course, some islands will just flip over... /s
Its been done!
Well I think this does point up why people are believing the lies.
It’s because truth has ceased to be deemed to matter.
The data that tells us that, isn’t quite 2800 years old, but it’s about 2000 years old. The bible.
libtard climate hoax fraud...
satellites show the ice sheets EXPANDING....
When rich people start having a fire sale on oceanfront property, we might want to be concerned. Until then, these so-call “scientists” are delusional.

I would imagine that if these slyentists ever took a sanity pill, they’d be aghast at themselves.
Why?
That's what they pay them to do.
Why should the nations rage and the people plot a vain thing?
