Since 1920, parts of the Houston area sunk 10 to 12 feet.

Like you said - that's a different issue than ice melt and rising waters (which is not really an issue).

Harvey and the weight of all that water probably altered the landscape a great deal.

Tell that to Miami each time they have a spring tide. You do know what a spring tide is, right? (hint, it has nothing to do with the season)

Irrelevant. If sea levels suddenly reversed today, Miami will still be underwater in the next few hundred years.

Miami's rate of sea level rise has not changed in over 100 years.....same rate before global warming....same rate after global warming......global warning has had no effect on the rate of sea level rise in Miami

It was less than 1 inch a decade before....and it's less than 1 inch a decade now.....~9 inches in 100 years

" Miami and any other city are under water." Didn't the "GOD" of global warming, algore, declare Miami would be under water by now?

It is all that matters.

Convincing climate change believers is like discussing it with self-centered dim-witted children. They actually think man can change the climate!

See how easy that is to throw ignorant insults!

Any chance you explaining why the C13/C12 CO2 isotopes ratio is changing. If you understand that, you may start to understand man's impact. Do you?

What was the record during previous Inter-Glacial Periods?

What you claim to be a record pales in comparison to MIS-7 or MIS-9.

Changing... meaning up or down? Is the ratio increasing or decreasing in the last period of years?

Also - since you brought it up - what's better for the environment - higher ratios or lower ratios?

I will check back later.
