The oceans rose 300 feet since the end of the ice age. I think humans will survive 1 foot.

I never understood what Floky saw in that place.

Math doesn’t lie, but not all can use it without a few mistakes here and there. ;-D

Don’t believe anything written by Seth Borenstein. He is a high priest in the GoreBull warming cult.

Watch some of the beach blanket movies of the 1960s. See where the sea is? Now look at a web cam of the same beaches. Other than tides, no change.
Same goes for the movie THAT MAN FROM RIO(1964) Great shot of the Rio beaches. Web cams today show no change.

And fifty four years ago I was thinking of buying beach front property in Idaho!

Day After Day
Shango
Day after day, more people come to L... A...
Don’t you tell anybody, the whole place’s slipping away
Where can we go, when there’s no San Francisco?
Better get ready to tie up the boat in Idaho

Instead I bought in the Ozarks when fear of THE COMING ICE AGE covering the Northern states with ice was all the rage.

“US could see a century’s worth of sea rise in just 30 years”

That would make it 30 years worth then.

This was what I could find.

Now someone needs to decide which is the optimal temperature, but I suspect their criteria is what you think.

What, exactly, is the optimum sea level?

“US could see”

And the sun could rise in the East and set in the West, but it ain’t likely.

Two friends of mine and I bought a house on a sand bar in the Great South Bay in 1973 and sold it in 1988 with absolutely no change in the size of the little bay beach in front of the house during that time. I have no idea how it looks today.

I’ve been told sand bars migrate away from the ocean over time. I didn’t see that happening on the bay side, but the houses on the ocean side of the sand bar were vanishing one by one over time. The owner of the house at the ocean end of our walk told us that his house was once the third one from the beach.

But I have heard that when there is a very high tide, they now have to use steps to get from the dock into the ferry boats that take them back and forth from Long Island.

Please pardon my interrupting your virtual hug, but there is a boo boo somewhere. Magnum44, in the post you referenced, you estimate there to be:

160,138,201,500,000 cubic ft of worldwide glacial ice

If the dimensions given by “scientists” are accurate, there are:

8,252,006,400,000,000 cubic ft of ice in the Twaites Glacier alone, better known as the “Doomsday” Glacier (74,000 sq mi by 4000 ft thick).

If that whole chunk of ice somehow slid off of dry land into the ocean, there would in fact be a little over 25 inches sea level rise.
