The seas lapping against America’s coastlines are rising ever faster and will be 10 to 12 inches higher by the year 2050, with major Eastern cities hit regularly with costly floods even on sunny days, a government report says.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and six other federal agencies issued a 111-page report Tuesday that warns of “significant consequences” from rising seas in the next few decades, with parts of Louisiana and Texas projected to see waters a foot and a half (0.45 meters) higher.
However, the worst of the long-term sea level rise from the melting of ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland probably won’t kick in until after 2100, the study’s lead author said.
Because of climate change, the nation’s coastlines on average will see as much sea level rise in the next 30 years as they did in the previous century , said lead author William Sweet, an oceanographer for NOAA’s National Ocean Service.
While higher seas cause much more damage when storms such as hurricanes hit the coast, they are becoming a problem even on sunny days.

Or not
They were saying the same thing in 1992. I remember the fear propaganda was this exact nonsense when I was in 2nd grade.
Are the seas not rising anywhere else?
Yeah, I live by a river that hasn't changed in decades despite additional development around it.
Will it flood Barry and Big Mike’s waterfront estates?
100 X 0 = 30 X 0 = 0
when i ask Ordnance Survey what rise in sea-level they’ve recorded, this is the email i got back on 2/8/2022
(Ordnance Survey is the national mapping agency for Great Britain. The agency’s name indicates its original military purpose, which was to map Scotland in the wake of the Jacobite rising of 1745. There was also a more general and nationwide need in light of the potential threat of invasion during the Napoleonic Wars. Wikipedia)
Hi Chode
Thank you for your enquiry regarding sea level changes being documented by OS.
I am advised by our Geodetics team that “The rise in sea level relative to when it was measured at Newlyn 100 years ago is approximately 20cms so not significant enough to warrant changing the datum.
The main driver behind considering a change in ODN is more likely to be a modernisation to a purely gravity derived geoid model. Any new model is likely to be aligned with an up to date MSL value not one from 100 years ago”.
I trust that information assists you: If we can offer any further assistance, please contact our dedicated Customer Service team from 8.30am – 5.30pm daily Monday to Friday on (03456 050505 excluding Bank Holidays). Alternatively why not try our Live Chat available on the website.

Uh, 35 years of being a geologist.
Explain the Bering Land Bridge being exposed.
On this point, you failed. Like I said, do the math. Math doesnt lie.
I’ll move on. You need to read a few Wikipedia posts.
“climate change expert to tell me what the ideal average temperature of the earth is supposed to be and why they picked that number.”
It is the temperature after all the “deplorables” are dead....
:-(
Continental drift. Land mass and continents rise and fall. Ocean height, a function of the topography and volume of water, can only change if the land mass underneath it changes, or if the water volume changes. If you want to go back to millions of years ago, then you might be able to theorize a forming earth where the temperature was hot enough and the crust/core still hot and elastic enough to generate that kind of change in ocean height. But in the last 250,000 years, not a chance.
Gee, the Obama’s aren’t too concerned. Pelosi just bought Florida property. When I see the crooks franticly trying to unload their seaside homes— then I may think about being concerned.
A safe move. You cant just wish for and create/destroy that kind of water volume when it doesnt exist. Feel free to send me a Wiki link if you have something that isnt pushing global warming agenda. Hard numbers.
Sniff sniff smells like ASS.press💩.
True, the large-order transgressions and regressions are driven by an increase or decrease in the creation of oceanic crust. That is what caused the development of the Western Interior Seaway during the Cretaceous. Much of the western US was covered a couple hundred feet of water. But the small-scale changes are driven primarily by glaciation which a function of climate.
I cannot understand ANYONE who would believe the 30-100 year weather predictions by dolts who cannot, to save their own children’s live, accurately predict if we’re getting snow in the northeast - TOMORROW.
I hope we arent upset with each other after this.
In no way. I enjoy a lively conversation.
