I seem to remember sea levels have risen and decline in past. In fact many desserts and even the grand cannon were formed by water. Man wasn't even around to have anything to do with it either.

I seem to remember forest fires have occurred naturally in the past when humans weren't around to start them. So logically, that means humans cannot possibly start forest fires today.
I seem to remember that atmospheric C02 levels have risen and declined naturally in the past. So logically that means that humans can't have anything to do with the rising levels of C02 in the atmosphere in the past 100 years.

How do you know? Where you around then? It amazes me how deniers cherry pick science....
Why do you people think that you can get away with false info? It took two seconds to prove you wrong....
Sea level is rising at an increasing rate. With the majority of Americans living in coastal states, rising water levels can have potentially large impacts. There is strong evidence that global sea level is now rising at an increased rate and will continue to rise during this century. Is sea level rising?
You're mistaking sinking lands for rising waters. Newtok, AK is sinking. The San Joaquin River delta is sinking. (Phoenix is sinking too (but for your edification that's inland).) Hawai`i (the big island) is sinking. So's Maui.
The crust doesn't only move laterally.

Yes, August temperatures can do that.
Sounds kind of chilly in the Hudson Bay this summer:

One piece of the puzzle is not the whole puzzle. Other pieces are thermal expansion of warming oceans and melting glaciers and land ice.
The sea level always rises during Inter-Glacial Periods.
How is this Inter-Glacial Period different than the previous 8 Inter-Glacial Periods? Aside from the Earth's average temperature being colder, nothing yet.
Aren't you forgetting something important? 'Greenhouse' gas levels.
And what effects do changes in 'greenhouse' gas levels have on glaciation/deglaciation?
Watch and learn:
The short 24 minute lecture below on the history of earth's climate is from the National Academy of Sciences 2015 Symposium by Professor Richard Alley - Geoscientist/Glaciologist. Anyone who has seen ice core graphs, has probably seen graphs based on his work.
Signal Hill Calif just north of Long Beach had a lot of oil drilling and was pumping oil in the early 1930's. About 20 years later Long Beach showed to be sinking based upon the ocean high tide rising a little each year.
One smart Engineer figured out that since oil was being removed the city was over some pockets and a solution was to fill those pockets thus they started to pump sea water into the dry wells and the city stopped sinking.
I recall reading about the problem back then as I had to drive by those oil rigs every so often going to work (short cut to Long Beach)

And a Ring of Fire and a Mid-Atlantic Ridge that opens up here, closes there, spitting fire, shutting it off, without terrestrial observers ever being the wiser. Changes in convection as the poles shift....
(What's that? East Anglia doesn't know how to model any of that, which explains why their laughable models are always wrong?)
It's not that simple.....The world’s oceans have risen overall about 8 inches in the past century. Also post glacial rebound has to be considered... Post-glacial rebound
Alaska’s climate is getting hotter—and quickly. During the past 50 years, the state has warmed at more than twice the rate of the rest of the United States. Now the permafrost is melting. The foundation under Newtok is crumbling, as are the village’s buildings. The old school and the community hall have buckled and started to sink into the muddy earth.
