What dramatic sea level rise could do

Seas have Drastically risen along Southern U.S. coast in past decade

Multiple new studies highlight a rate of sea level rise that is ‘Unprecedented in at least 120 years’ along the Gulf of Mexico and Southeastern U.S. coast​

April 10, 2023 - Washington Post

""Scientists have documented an abnormal and dramatic surge in sea levels along the U.S. gulf and southeastern coastlines since about 2010, raising new questions about whether New Orleans, Miami, Houston and other coastal communities might be even more at risk from rising seas than once predicted.

The Acceleration, while relatively short-lived so far, could have far-reaching consequences in an area of the United States that has seen massive development as the wetlands, mangroves and shorelines that once protected it are shrinking. An already vulnerable landscape that is home to millions of people is growing more vulnerable, more quickly, potentially putting a large swath of America at greater risk from severe storms and flooding.

The increase has already had major effects, researchers found. One study suggests that recent devastating hurricanes, including Michael in 2018 and Ian last year, were made considerably worse by a faster-rising ocean. Federal tide gauge data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration suggest that the sea level, as measured by tide gauge at Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans, is 8 inches higher than it was in 2006, just after Hurricane Katrina.

“The entire Southeast coast and the Gulf Coast is feeling the impact of the sea level rise acceleration,” said Jianjun Yin, a climate scientist at the University of Arizona and the author of one of two academic studies published in recent weeks that describe the changes.

Yin’s study, published in the Journal of Climate, calculates the rate of sea-level rise since 2010 at more than 10 millimeters — or one centimeter — per year in the region, or nearly 5 inches in total through 2022. That is more than double the global average rate of about 4.5 millimeters per year since 2010, based on satellite observations of sea level from experts at the University of Colorado at Boulder."...."

Nobody cares about the 3 mm.

Show us some hard evidence the public is concerned about sea level rise?:popcorn:

"Nobody cares" is what the ldiot SkookerAssbill says when he's LOST the debate on Climate.
Now almost EVERY day.
He used to argue was Not warming, now he's conceded. (actually conceded in every 'debate' he's ever had)

And of course it is NOT true.
Every Coastal state, especially the Southeast, East, and Gulf coasts has taken measures and plan more.
There is no real partisan debate any more. (just the MAGAts)

He's been saying "nobody cares" for years.

The warmers do not even have that. They have NOTHING, and THIS is why...




The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away,” Zwally said. “But this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some


MASSIVE FUDGE BAKING FRAUD ONGOING TO SAY OCEANS ARE RISING GIVEN 90% of Earth ice on AA is INCREASING
 
And they cannot show us one single landmark "sinking"

Statue of Liberty = no
Hawaii 5-0 beach = no
Venice = no
 

There have been five mass extinctions in Earth’s history​

What is mass extinction and are we facing a sixth one?​

The 5 mass extinction events that shaped the history of Earth — and the 6th that's happening now​


Fool.
how can CO2 in the atmosphere make itself warmer than the surface? no matter how many molecules are in the atmosphere?
 
Crick, I want to know what you think can be done to stop your sea level rise from happening? Even if I believed your bullshit without a doubt, what will fix it for mankind?

Driving an EV that produces more pollutants than it prevents?
Shooting a farting cow?
Have Al Gore's love child?
Move every human to an elevation above 500 feet?
Run around with water up to our knees after another 1000 years and refuse to move away from the ocean's edge?

Tell me oh wise one! What should we do about it?
he can't have the ice ever melt, so he wants colder earth.
 

Ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica hits new record


20/04/2023
The European Space Agency
ESA / Applications / Observing the Earth / FutureEO / CryoSat

A report, released today, states that ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica has increased fivefold since the 1990s, and now accounts for a quarter of sea-level rise.

It is without doubt that climate change is causing our polar ice sheets to melt, thereby driving up sea levels and putting coastal regions around the world at risk.

Since 1992, when satellite records of ice-sheet melt began, the polar ice sheets have lost ice every single year. The highest rates of melt have occurred in the past decade.

Where? From your link, New house under construction, right? Water way looks shallow to me. See the boat lifts? hahahahahahahahahha you're easily fooled by trick photos I see.
