Why just 30 years? You aren't fooling anyone.... According to the graph on the link you provided sea level in Florida has risen 0.3 meters since 1900....That equals 11.8 inches.
because Daryl was talking about 30 years.....

We can argue about the science, but the effects are already starting. States losing coast line would count as an emergency to me.
..and my answer was about 30 years

A quick glance at the graph indicates a linear increase. Since the "Hockey Stick" curve seems to be widely accepted by the global warming gurus, wouldn't you expect this curve to be somewhat similar?
Extinction occurs at a natural background rate of about one to five species per year. Scientists estimate we're now losing species at up to 1,000 times the background rate, with literally dozens going extinct every day. 99 percent of currently threatened species are at risk from human activities, primarily those driving habitat loss, introduction of exotic species, and global warming.

Globally the rate of sea level rise is increasing...
. Lol @ trying to discuss climate change on this forum. This place is so overrun with conspiracy theorists and partisans it's impossible to have any kind of meaningful discussion on any topic whatsoever, especially climate change. Too many people think Al Gore is somehow some kind of authority on the subject when in reality none of us really give a rat's ass about him.
Europe is baking, Alaska is baking, the Arctic ice is breaking up earlier and the ice is younger, the Antarctic is melting, Greenland is melting, glaciers are in retreat worldwide, the Amazon is being bulldozed at an insane rate, Gulf states are being swallowed by the GOM, permafrost is melting, micro states in the Pacific are being evacuated, India's 6th (?) largest city home to some ~10 million people has no water, Cape Town nearly ran out of water, California is ravaged by ever worsening fires seemingly on a yearly basis, the jet stream is weakening, weather patterns are changing at an alarming rate, species are dying at an even more alarming rate, micro plastics infest all levels of the food chain, plastic waste in general scourages every space on the planet humans inhabit, and report after report for the past 150 years have all warned of or confirmed what ever increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 will do to the climate system but yeah, in spite of all that you've got a bunch of first world armchair experts who've done "research" and have convinced themselves that either 1) all of this is false or 2) completely outside of human influence.
GTFO of here with that BS.
Well sorry to burst your bubble but here’s one climate expert that thinks your global warming is “BS”
