Good you found a forcast. Now explain to the class just how accurate long range forecasts are say a ten or fifteen day weather forecast. Then you can explain why so many prior forcasts have not come true yet
Also while you are at it explain to the class why CO2 always lags behind warming trends in ice cores. Because we all are dumb enough that we actually are supposed to believe that CO2 is what creates warming trends. Not that warming trends create more CO2.

Scientists Forecast U.S. Sea Levels Could Rise a Foot by 2050
Sea levels are forecast to rise rapidly over the next 30 years, bringing more frequent and more destructive floods
WSJ- Feb. 15, 2022 (more/most recently)
"Sea levels on U.S. coastlines are forecast to rise on average by about a foot by 2050, surging with meltwater from ice sheets and glaciers as a result of climate change, federal scientists said Tuesday.
The estimates were released in a report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and other federal and academic institutions.
Globally, sea levels rose about 0.55 feet between 1920 and 2020, according to the report. Across the U.S. coast on average, in the last 100 years, sea levels rose about 0.9 feet.
....Along the East Coast, the water will rise a few more inches compared with shorelines on the West Coast and Hawaii...
"''...The report proposed five different paths for sea level rise through the next decades. From the least to most severe outcomes, these reflect variability in the contributors to sea level rise, such as ice sheet melt, thermal expansion of oceans and land movement.
At the Low end, by 2050 compared with 2000, the report projects an average rise along the U.S. coastline of about a Foot. At the highest end, the report estimates an average rise across the U.S. coast of 1.7 feet...
Farther into the future, by 2100, average sea levels could rise by between 2 and 7 feet compared with 2000, the report estimates..."

I've looked at topographical maps of Florida. I don't think I would characterize it as the state of Florida is barely above sea level.
Are you saying they predicted a temperature increase in the middle of an interglacial cycle which is still 2C cooler than previous interglacial cycles? Brilliant.
Can't be according to occupied the "free" state of Florida is barely above sea level.
You posted this in your thread. Like I said there... I absolutely love it when they take flyers like that. Swing for the fences I say. Let's see that's 304.8 mm in 28 years. That's equal to an annual rise of 10.89 mm/yr. How much of that should we expect to see in 2022 to be on schedule?Scientists Forecast U.S. Sea Levels Could Rise a Foot by 2050

There are places in the world where climate change is undeniable. Consider yourself lucky you live somewhere you can still ignore it.
And the "free" state of Florida is barely above sea level.
It is. Don't know what problem you have with that description but I suspect you are just trying to stir some shit.And the "free" state of Florida is barely above sea level.
I suggest you look at a topographical map showing elevations to see why your description is funny.
:^) :^)
I live here. Quit trying to tell me that there is some sort of vertical landscape in Florida. We're a glorified sandbar.
It's worse that you live there and are ignorant of Florida's elevations.
