Sea levels are rising — and it's going to get worse. Here's how some communities are adapting.

Our sea levels will remain elevated for thousands of years.

Scientists around the world agreed on that in last week's U.N. report about climate change, which found it is "unavoidable for centuries to millennia due to continuing deep ocean warming and ice sheet melt, and sea levels will remain elevated for thousands of years."

One of the problems with sea level rise is that it happens slowly, a tiny bit each year, making it a threat that people have an easy time ignoring.

We do that at our own peril, according to Mark Merrifield, director of the Scripps Center for Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation.

"Over time, it is just undeniable. The measurements all say the same thing. The glaciers are melting and the ice sheets," Merrifield said while standing on the Scripps Pier, a hub of scientific activity on the campus of the University of California, San Diego.

Sea level rise, driven by climate change, is a slow-motion problem that's easy to ignore.

But pay attention and it's clear, from coast to coast we've got a lot of hard decisions to make about how we're going to adapt.

As a result of “climate change” and “rising sea levels” the value of coastal properties has crashed—you can get anything you want for pennies on the dollar....

Oops.

They're rising so fast Nancy Pelosi used her insider trading profits to buy ocean front property in Florida.

Centuries from now when sea level is maybe one inch higher we’ll regret ignoring this non-problem.

We should follow the lead of Barack Obama and all of the other celebrities who have invested their fortunes in properties located at sea level.

Here’s a hint of SeeBS’s three stooges. DON’T LIVE NEAR THE OCEAN. IT’S THE BEST ADAPTATION YOU CAN DO.

The headline includes the key word - adapt.

Sea levels rise and fall and the climate changes and we have always had to adapt.

Let me know when Climate Change advocates like Barak Obama and Bill/Hillary Clinton start selling their ocean-front property and move inland.

“Oh really... how much have they risen?”

On average about 0.5mm per year.

Sea levels are rising

This is prophetic despite the opportunistic and extortive lies and misguidance of the Left.

And there shall be...distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring
Luke 21:25.

Which would be well within any margin for error.

I believe many of these so-called “leaders” also have large, opulent properties in the Maldives. The latest scaremongering implies that something like 80% of the Maldives will be uninhabitable by 2050, so why would they sink millions of USD buying luxury properties in such a risky location?
