Well, yes, the North Atlantic has been referred to as "The Pond".
WhatsMyElevation lists the elevation of their home as being 3 feet above sea level.

Collins Ave sank 2.5ft since 1920

Yep. "Alaskans for Global Warming" was a popular bumper sticker.

The oceans are rising which I believe is factual and a normal cycle. I don't believe there is anything that man can do to stop that. All we can do is adapt which man has done for eons. The Earth has been covered by water in the past and probably will be in the future. So, don't wait; go out and buy that boat asap.

Please don’t be pedantic. The whole area floods now if it rains during high tide. It didn’t used to.

Or maybe you think the whole island is sinking?

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,......
It might be helpful for you to distinguish the difference between “ weather” and the word “ climate “ !

Re: US coasts sea level rise 10 to 12 inches by 2050

Boats float, [or at least good boats float]; shorelines with rising sea levels, not so much.

Salt water intrusion along the coast lines continues to occur at accelerated rates leading to many areas of ghost forests and salted coastal farmlands, and more and more instances of high tide and rainy storm floodings of urban streets and properties. Also, apparent is the transitioning and constrained migration of coastal wetlands.

If one is at all observant, these occurrences are readily apparent. If one opts to not be observant, then one continues to be ignorant or naive about the reality.

For those in flood prone areas, y'all likely have seen a large increase in flood insurance costs. $$$$ = Reality.

Salt Intrusion Threatens Vital American Coastal Wetlands
Published: February 11, 2022

"CHESAPEAKE BAY, Maryland, February 11, 2022 (ENS) – In the eternal struggle between the ebb and flow of tides, high tides now have the upper hand as the sea is encroaching on land, rising as the climate warms. As the sea-level rises, valuable coastal wetland ecosystems are being lost to the sea due to salt poisoning.

Coastal wetlands are constantly saturated with salt water and plants that live there have adapted to harsh, ever-changing environments. These wetlands flourish in coastal watersheds at or just above sea-level and include a variety of ecosystems – fresh and saltwater marshes, seagrass beds, mangrove swamps, and forested swamps."

Could it be that those peeps employed in all those agencies think their jobs depend on following the Narraties???

Yes you can

No. Skeptics are also government funded. Roy Spencer gets all of his research funding from NOAA, NASA and DOE.

According to local surveyors entire Miami Beach has sunk, and will continue to sink, This is what you get when you put hundreds of huge heavy hi rise buildings on a swamp.
