US coasts sea level rise 10 to 12 inches by 2050

That is a localized phenomena...land elsewhere, like on the other side of the planet, doesn't rebound...thus, sea level rise.

Where I live the predictions are the same, if you only measure the sea level that is. If you measure sea level relative to land level you end up counting millimeters per century. Totally natural.
NOAA and IPCC are tools in a political agenda, make no mistake.

a political agenda.. Would your statements make you a tool in a political agenda? Lets know why or why not, and why a similar explanation could not apply to NOAA or IPCC.

I’m from Alaska and secretly we are all somewhat excited about the prospect of climate warming up a bit.

First: The "Global Warming" predictions made by the IPCC are not sciense. It is extrapolations of an algoritm in which you can modify a large number of parameters. Non of the predictions have ever been correct in retrospect, so why do they continue this

worthless

exercise?
Then read this and let us all know how you interpret it. Why change the tempreraure probes to a proprietary kind where you are not allowed to know the specifications? and why change the way of measuring to highest spot measurement vs. the mean value over a period, like the historical values?
As in Australia above, it is well known that also NOAA are adjusting historical meteorological data (like temperatures) to fit the alarmistic climate narrative.
So how can this be interpreted?

I bet theres quite a lot of that about..

Warmer summers in UK, less need to fly to Spain for 2 weeks in the sun, less need for heating, could be a self correcting process ?

I hope it takes out the condos that took out our marinas!!

The last ice sheet pushed the land up to the south of the sheet, from the immense weight, then land that was pushed up is sinking to the pre-ice age level.

Sea Level (relative) started rising even faster after the process of taking water out of the water aquifer from wells became more common.

I lived on Tangier island, VA for a few years,have property there,still frequent it several times a year.
Also Smith Island, MD just 6-8 miles away.
The people in their 80-90s are laughing at these predictions.
They have observed no such water level rise.
They are , however, quite aware of the coastal erosion due to waive action, Storm and current.
Just like every inlet along the East coast USA,the sea bed is not static it drifts and silts like sand dunes in the desert.
The sky isn't falling.

You can climate deny as much as you want but the arctic and antarctic sea ice is both at record low levels this year, all the beaches on my island are in retreat with rocks appearing where none were before. Areas of Florida are being inundated by as much a yard a year. The thing that really worries me is that the scientific predictions tend to be conservative rather than alarmist run away melting can occur in Greenland or Antarctica and cause a massive jump in sea levels. Is it worth the risk?

The lower level of my dock built 19 years ago in SoFla is now almost 4 inches under water now at Spring Tides.

I don't understand why panic? Most everyone on this forum has a boat or is thinking about a boat. The ocean rising means more water for us and many of the boat hating coastal owners who make stupid rules to try to keep us away will be underwater. This is good news.

I don't get the whole climate change thing....

The weather is the weather is the weather....it gets hot...it gets cold....it gets windy...it doesn't get windy....we move closer to the sun...we move further away..we get hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunami's....earth tilting.....etc...

For sure, everybody has an opinion....even "flat earther's" can spout a bunch of reasons to support their belief...

Just let it be.....the only thing " constant" about the weather, is that we know it will "change" by the next day...

I find long range weather predictions to be laughable.....anyone here ever got a weather prediction that was good for more than 2 days to plan a sailing trip.....ha ha ha...c'mon, seriously,......

So I guess John Kerry (and Barrack Obama) will now be selling their waterfront properties on Martha's Vineyard...?

[Kd9truck]

WAIT, Sooo don’t sell the boat?

[Kd9truck]

Am I missing something? I can’t get an accurate weather report for more than 3 days out.
