Sea level rise was 1.5 inches in 2019, according to NOAA, per the Palm Beach Post. This was over 10 percent of the median sea level rise nationally of 1.1 feet since 1920, according to the following article. One consequence is increased days of high tide flooding.

<<The yearly rate of high tide flooding is more than twice that from just 20 years ago. Sea level rise broke a record last year with a median ascent nationally of 1.1 feet as compared to 1920 levels, according to NOAA.

That sea level bloat is also 1.5 inches higher than it was in 2018.>>

Some eighty million years ago the plains area of north America (so-called plains States and thereabouts) was ocean floor.

Could happen again, then cycle could start all over again.

Nothing new under the sun, not even a new human observation.

Just a normal change over millions of year dear. Expect a 12ft rise within 70 years for some parts of the globe my man.

nope, sorry.......fail

There's been no change in the rate of sea level rise in 100 years.....just exactly the same up and down cycles it's always had

Fifteen years ago we were supposed to be under water by now. These predictors keep pushing off the dates.

Except that this chart shows a rise. Look at it.

oh gezz Holly......we're talking about the "rate" of sea level rise

the claim is the "rate" of sea level rise has increased....sea level rise has gotten faster

no it hasn't......it's been 2.92 mm/yr..... 1/10th of an inch...for the past 100 years

Here's another trick question....

The claim is it's 1.5 inches higher than it was in 2018

If you look at the graph of actual measured sea level

the height of sea level in 2018 was exactly the same as it was in 1948

So you can equally claim that sea level in 2018 is exactly the same as it was 70 years ago...

Not a scientist but I think if accurate records and minute details/info were kept for the past thousands, millions of years, one would realize that the earth goes through some very drastic changes, and none of these changes we see today will shock us

Heck, Pangea split up 175 million years ago
