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.

“Our spreadsheet says...”
I want to see the “science” that permits the oceans to rise ONLY along the US coastline ...
shouldn’t every country in the world see just as much see level rise?
i am confused.
Call me when Ocean Front property starts selling on the Cheap Including Sanders waterfront home and Obungholes waterfront Mansion:-)
If that were true, why are rich people still buying beach front home? Never listen to what they say, watch what they do. It’s a much better indicator.
Then again, they could not. Obama just bought oceanfront property in Hawaii, the old Magnum, P.I. estate, so I don’t think he’s too worried about ocean rise.
BS.
The arctic and antarctic are frozen wastelands that almost never see the sun for a minimum of six months per year.
Just where is all this heat to melt the icecaps going to come from?
Or it could not. Either way.
Whatevs
And the Sun could go dark next month!
Keep in mind this BS is from the AP... need I say more.
If this is true, why did the plastic fantastic mulatto buy what was the beachfront set of ‘Magnum P.I.’?
Total BS. I lived on an island 6 feet off the water, still is.
Is this signaling an end to the Covid fear campaign and now they’re “circling back” to the Globull Warming fear campaign?
lol always in 30 years. Just part of the scam.
Who has the photo of that “Aw Jeez” guy holding his head in disgust?
The Associated Liars
They’ve been beating this drum for 30 years. They haven’t been right yet.
Lying Democrat scum.
Get ready for a whole lot more of this:

“Why it matters: The new climate desk is backed by roughly $8 million in funding from various philanthropies, including Quadrivium, the foundation run by James and Kathryn Murdoch, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation.”
Who knew it was journalistically ethical to let outside people hire reporters for a supposedly reputable news agency to report on their pet issues?
No one believes any of this. Where I live in the Keys, real estate sales and prices are booming, insanely booming. Banks are writing 30/45 year mortgages and insurance underwriters are writing policies. You cannot buy a dry (not waterfront) fixer-upper manufactured home for less than 450K. Average lot size is 5000 sqft
