Which part of the US will succumb, to SEA LEVEL RISE, first?

Lowering sea levels is due to warming and rising sea levels is due to warming.

I have peer reviewed this post and find it 100% accurate

I have read your posts and decided you queers are too queer, for anything but the Log Cabin Club.

sea level rise is more of the attack of the Sharpie Pen.

The St. Mary's river, part of the Fla./Ga. border went up 16 feet in three & 1/2 days, and we have had four named tropical storms in June, two of which have hit Florida. Three of the four started 1 degree north of the maximum latitude for June TS. Just a funny coincidence I know. Meanwhile Colorado, is burning.

parts of nag heads will flood with a nor easterner ....

i would say the outer banks will go pretty quick with rising sea levels

Florida is being nibbled away now, I don't see all the way under until the end.

Care to present the photographic proof? There should be about an 8 inch vertical rise since 1900.

Photography has been an established art for centuries.

If the sea level has been rising, there is photographic proof of it in coastal pictures of the great coastal cities of the world.

We know that Herculaneum was on the shore of the Mediteranean in about 75 a.d. if anything, the sea has receded from there. There is a fort in St. Augustine that was built on the shore in about 1550 and it's still on the shore.

Plymouth Rock. Coney Island. Miami Beach.

If there is sea level rise, there is photographic evidence.

Whatcha got?

The arrogance of this guy is astonishing.

They state that some of the rise might be associated with increased temperatures. And that if the temperature continue to rise, so will the sea level in that area.

They MIGHT be associated with increased temperatures? Why are all scientific papers about global warming stuffed full of all these weasel words? They MIGHT also be associated be associated with unicorn farts. The later claim is just as scientifically valid.

Well, you know, gravity MIGHT make fat people weigh more than skinny people. Water MIGHT be wet. Fire MIGHT be hot.

All facts are open to debate. If you're a Liberal. And you want money.

Rising sea level a threat to East
Boston Globe
David Abel, Globe Staff
June 25, 2012
(excerpts)

As temperatures are projected to climb, polar ice to melt, and oceans to swell over the coming decades, Boston is likely to bear a disproportionate impact of rising sea levels, government scientists report in a new study. The seas along the East Coast from North Carolina to New England are rising three to four times faster than the global average, and coastal cities, utilities, beaches, and wetlands are increasingly vulnerable to flooding, especially from storm surges, according to the US Geological Survey study published Sunday.

“Cities in the hot spot, like Norfolk, New York, and Boston, already experience damaging floods during relatively low-intensity storms,” said Asbury Sallenger, a Geological Survey oceanographer and lead author of the study in the journal Nature Climate Change. “Accelerated sea-level rise,” he said, will add to “the height that storm surges and breaking waves reach on the coast.” The findings come as Boston and Massachusetts officials are taking the first of a range of responses to the threat of rising seas. The report did not project how much levels would rise in the Northeast, but globally, oceans are projected to increase between 2 feet and 6 feet by the end of the century, and as much as an additional 5 feet during the heaviest storms. Climate scientists say such storms are likely to increase in intensity and frequency over the coming decades.

So, we have a bunch of people here very ignorant in basic geology. Yes, when one takes the tidal gauges from the whole world into consideration, there is a recognizable sea level rise. And it is confirmed by the satellite measurements.

However, there are areas where the land is rising, due to tectonics, and areas that are subsiding. One has to take those into account for specific areas.

Then there's a difference between the East Coast SINKING due to sea level rise and SINKING due to land subsidance isn't there? That's not the theory they are copping to.

The CLAIM is that "friction" in the conveyor currents offshore are causing an abnormal backup.. Calling that a "hot spot" because it serves the Global Warming masters.

The only place that uses plate tectonics as an excuse to fudge sea level data is NOAA..

I was going to guess Tennessee? Kentucky? Oh I know! Utah!

NT, let me refer you to the OP, which off the bat mentions "NOLA," which as you may know, stands for: New Orleans, LA., also known as "The Big Easy." Down it goes!

Study: Rising Sea Level Threatens Homes of 4 Million Americans - US News and World Report

The homes of nearly 4 million Americans could be at risk of severe flooding due to sea-level rise associated with climate change over the next 100 years, according to new research.

Climate experts say the sea level could rise up to 1 meter over the next hundred years, putting about 2.1 million homes at an elevation within 1 meter of sea level in danger of flooding. (A meter is a little over 3 feet.) Previous studies have suggested that with sea-level rise, the severity and frequency of hurricanes could increase.

10 States Most at Risk of Flooding: 10 States Most at Risk of Flooding - US News & World Report

Ben Strauss, one of the authors of the report and director of the Program on Sea Level Rise at Climate Central, says that even with normal storms, millions of people are at risk.

New Studies on Sea Level Rise Make Clear We Must Act Now | ThinkProgress

The bad news is that even modest global warming likely leads to dangerous sea level rise. The worse news is that continuing to do nothing about greenhouse gas emissions leads to levels of warming and sea rise that are unimaginably catastrophic.

Stabilizing at 2C (3.6F) warming leads to 2.5 feet of sea level rise by 2100 and a devastating 8 feet by 2300, a new analysis finds. The figure at the right is long-term sea level rise under scenarios of very aggressive CO2 mitigation (via one of the new studies, Schaeffer et al. in Nature Climate Change).

Stabilizing at 3C (the RCP4.5 scenario, close to 550 ppm CO2 levels) leads to about 3 feet of SLR by 2100 and over 11 feet of SLR by 2300. That would still require a huge amount of clean energy deployment in the coming decades (see here).

Staying near our current greenhouse emissions emissions path — the “reference” case below, which is not the worst-case scenario — still leads to over 40 inches of SLR by 2100 and then seas continue to rise 7 inches or more a decade!

The first lesson is that sea levels won’t rise at the same rate everywhere — in fact, some unlucky places are already seeing sea levels rise at rates that are dramatically faster than the global average. Specifically, the 600-mile stretch of coastline from North Carolina to Massachusetts is experiencing rates that are nearly three to four times higher than the global average, a trend that may continue during the coming decades.

The USGS study is similar to a report on West Coast sea level rise that was published last week by the National Research Council. That report found that California stands to experience greater sea level rise impacts than other parts of the West Coast.

Sea Level Rise Will Hit Calif. Harder than Rest of West | Climate Central

Climate Central’s research, entitled Surging Seas, shows that California, New York, and New Jersey have the third, fourth, and fifth largest populations on low-lying coastal land prone to sea level rise-driven coastal flooding issues, and New York City has the second largest population at risk of any city nationwide other than New Orleans.
