If you take the boats from Norfolk and deploy them, the sea level will drop. They should just tell the libs it is the “ice cube” effect. Boats displace water so it is only the perception that the water level has risen.
But since then America has been obsessed with buying cheap crap from China spawning the need for more and bigger container vessels. And the Cruise industry has more than quadrupled in the same time adding even more ships to the worlds oceans. Both China and North Korea have increased their numbers of submarines, superstitiously adding to the perceived sea level rise (an ice cube held under water still displaces the water!).
