There has been no significant rise in sea levels observable for the past 40 years in Tampa, Florida.
Had there been such a rise, downtown Tampa, Davis Island and South Tampa would be underwater.
"Significant" is a relative term. I notice you don't dispute the fact that sea levels are in fact rising. That's good, since it is an irrefutable fact and stating otherwise would make you look like extremely bad.
It's also a serious enough concern that government and scholars are working together to address the issue.
I truly doubt it!!! I've been going to the ocean for over 40 years and i haven't seen a noticeable sea level rise, and i know some of the shorelines like the back of my hand..
I doubt the vi is rebounding?? because if it is?? its rising at nearly the same rate as the sea level rise..
Hmmm...who should we believe. The highly educated scientists with things like satellite imagery at their disposal or the layman who has been "visiting the ocean for 40 years".

Tough call.

Hmmm...who should we believe. The highly educated scientists with a liberal agenda. Or the layman who visits the ocean and gets to foot the bill for said agenda?

I'm not claiming the oceans are not rising!!! I'm claiming its a lot less than what the fear mongering money grabbers are claiming..

There, fixed it for ya.
CN.......
Ahh yes, the liberal agenda boogeyman. I'll just sit here and wait for a conservative scientist to come along and debunk the peer reviewed literate and statistics that show rising sea levels.
I won't hold my breath considering that the climate change deniers have had to resort to pulling scientists from other fields unrelated to climatology to attempt to discredit the science.
And I guess I'm a little confused here. Are you saying that the layman with a vested interest in the matter should be trusted over the scientists? That seems like a resoundingly stupid idea, but I have you trumped none the less. I'd simply refer you to one of my professors (a geophysicist) who happens to live in one of the areas that would be impacted. I'm sure she would be happy to tell you about the rising sea levels.

And your data to refute that is....?
