Climate in the 21st Century

You mean they built them too low in the first place. Happens around here too in the flood plains. The river has been flooding for centuries but now we finally figured out it's not a good place to build a house. Nobody cared until they came out with insurance.

That has nothing to do with the basic problem of fixed streets vs rising sea levels.

Note that the above is without catastrophic ice sheet collapse.

How high did it rise? I didn't see a number, only speculation on the future.

Well we might get a big meteor hit too in the ocean. Think of all the water evaporation, it would rain for months.

“Did” is not a useful measure. But you know this which is why you attempted the misdirection.

Shame on you for equating a very unlikely scenario with a very likely one.

I bet you don’t like vaccines much either.

Ocean levels are rising, not much to argue. You can find plenty of info on the matter, even from gov't websites when trump was president. They don't dispute it, only their cling-on's do.

Well how much have they risen?

Does it even matter? People could show you anything and you'd just do white trash stuff like the above.

According to NOAA they raise about 1/8 inch a year. From 1993 to 2014 it was “2.6 inches above average”

although they say the satellite record started in 1993

also a lot of “it’s thought” or “estimates say” mixed in to that report too

Is sea level rising?

There is strong evidence that sea level is rising and will continue to rise this century at increasing rates.

Well when you want to change the world it might be a good idea to have some actual evidence. Same thing with CO2. What's the right amount, what's the goal?

wait

Are you saying the earth's climate is not warming due to industrial burning of fossil fuels?

And the average is how long? I've kept weather records here at my house for almost 40 years. Sometimes there is drought, sometimes floods, sometimes cold winters, sometimes warm. All I can say is weather varies. So will the ocean levels. Smart people will move now or take preparations.

I think they are one of several contributing factors

Then you are wrong. You may thank me now.

Actually you’re leaving off several other contributing factors to any climate warming effect the earth is currently experiencing. I’ll thank you when you come back with the correct answer

That's a good point, maybe the right amount of ocean rise is with florida 6ft underwater.

Sarcasm, obviously. All of these left/right issues usually come down to how much you care about yourself vs everyone else. Even though I think your views absolutely suck, I genuinely want good things for you and your family. I've seen your take a thousand times, which is that if the oceans have naturally ever been twenty feet higher than they are now, then it's perfectly fine if they're twenty feet higher tomorrow. And in a vacuum, I'd agree. However, when changes happen faster than we're prepared for, bad things happen, which is why I'm for taking whatever steps we can to try to slow the progress of some changes so that we have enough time to adapt to what's coming. That's the goal.

Off-topic: Anyone know what a good word is to describe a person that wants to slow the rate of change..?

You're a delusional fool.

Only one factor is contributing to the rapid change in global climate. It's a rise in human release of greenhouse gasses, aka burning fossil fuels.

There is no other.
