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.

Why do both Al Gore and Obama own ocean front properties?
Cool!
The climate hoaxers of the 90s said we had 5 to 10 years left. Still waiting in 2022.
The few unvaccinated left on earth won’t believe you either.
I fell for this clap-trap 40 years ago and lost my shirt buying up beach front resort options from an Eskimo.
Man, this inflation is everywhere.
LOL. When Obama puts his $4 million beach house up for fire sale and when insurance companies refuse to insure the Ruling Class beach houses and when the price of beach houses collapses, I will give this silliness some credibility.
Or they could see nothing.
Sea levels could stay the same.
And the price of beach front mansions would go up in price.
Or best of all, The Associated Press could tell reporters NO MORE CRYSTAL BALL READING STORIES
A foot or two rise will just get them a little closer
to the water. It’s their children or grandchildren that
will be impacted the most.
She should be worried about croaking.....
The whole world turned into a burning ball of fire
Polar bears drown drown as the flames leapt higher
And it burns burns burns, the earth on fire
A ball of fire
—Paul Shanklin, “Ball of Fire”
OK, the question is WHICH century?
So only the US will see this rise in ocean level? Interesting and only right that we are burden with the rising ocean since we are the major polluter. We are sacrificing ourselves so as to protect the rest of the world.
Sounds like Marvel Comics.
Yep, here we go.
The Puppet Masters have abandoned Covid shutdown to hopefully save their puppets and started with their next Emergency.

In actuality, a “century’s worth” of sea rise is probably about about a quarter to a half-inch. And those are very pessimistic estimates.
They’ve been pushing this fear porn for 30 years. The sea level hasn’t risen a bit in that time.
I guess Soetero and his wife built their Vineyard mansion too soon.
Heretic! It’s from the evil greenhouse gases lurking in the nooks and crannies of molecules and stuff.
That is why mortgage lenders refuse to finance ocean-front properties.
Oh wait....
