As of now Florida is getting bigger. Eighty years from now who knows. It’s been much bigger it’s been much smaller as ocean level does what everything on earth does. Changes.
So you're claiming the data they presented is false?
True, it's getting bigger. But there's the big picture. Florida doesn't live in a bubble and what happens across the nation and around the world will affect it. No way to know the extent until the changes begin but it's always better to forecast and plan ahead for the worst than laugh at projections and deny that nothing bad is going to happen. Miami floods now, more people are moving there and building there and the flooding isn't going away. That doesn't seem like a recipe for success to me.
Right? I mean...beaches TOTALLY grow when sea levels rise! It's a thing. Also, it gets warmer the higher up in altitude you go and if you jump out of a crashing airplane before you hit the ground it's only a short fall and you'll live.
I think what is most interesting about the IPCC's comments on sea level is the lack of well documented information in the past.
Strawman. The OP did not make that claim. Your response is idiotic.
What’s interesting is how alarmist are so myopic when it comes to sea level. They think the one and only cause is melting ice. They block out the fact that continents are on the move, islands rise and fall, under sea volcanoes erupt forming new islands etc etc. As all these events and many more displace sea water and cause oceans to rise and fall. Anyone saying 100% of sea level change is from melting ice is exposing how ignorant they truly are.
What is myopic and showing ignorance is those who deny change is happening and want to dicker about the causes. At this point arguing over why it's happening is cutting off nose to spite face. Preparations need to be made and ameliorative efforts enacted to change what can be changed and stop what can be stopped in order to avoid the displacement of millions of people and the ensuring disruptions to daily lives that will occur and are occurring now.
The sea level has been raising for nearly 12,000 years, of course we need to prepare for it, but we do need to understand the causes
So about 1 foot a century, we have to keep in mind that our fight against sea level has been an ongoing one.
What is wrong with pointing out AGW isn't the only cause?
Yes, the sky is falling...
VERY SLOWLY!
Nothing as long as we don't fiddle while we drown.
The oceans are rising. We're halfway to creating a haiku.
But the question is valid if we can do anything about the ocean raising.
New York City has a higher level of rise, but also has a plan to protect the lower city, and build some parks.
The fact that they explained it is, apparently, evidence that it can't be explained? I'm not really sure. Whatever it is, it's hilarious.
What leads you to this conclusion anyway? We are constantly changing our landscape already. Replacing buildings as they get destroyed, or just remove them to build better.
We are living with continual warnings of the "big one", possible within my lifetime, that has the potential to turn my town, which is 118 miles east of the Pacific Ocean, into ocean front property.
How do you know? Can you show me a peer reviewed paper making such a claim? All I see is pundits lying about what the papers actually say.
Wow...
The sky is falling...
The ocean is rising. We're still halfway to a Haiku.
(Earthquakes and climate change have almost nothing to do with one another!)
From the data it appears that the sea level rise largely ignores the CO2 level, (which tool a steep increase after 1960).
