Isostatic rebound is the opposite of subsidence.

isostatic rebound
Isostatic rebound (also called continental rebound, post-glacial rebound or isostatic adjustment) is the rise of land masses that were depressed by the huge weight of ice sheets during the last ice age

Florida was ice free in the last ice age.

Yep.

"pretty stable" wiggly lines in that chart. And wonder no more. Satellite measurements coincide with a dog legged uptick from 1979. I'll leave you to join the dots on that one.

Big Oil’s Big Issue With Embracing ‘Big Energy’



Big Oil spent 1 percent on green energy in 2018

Too easy, they're cashing in on the scare campaign. Should be obvious, especially to those constantly reminding us heathen's of their insidious greed. Hence why they're referred to as "big oil" in certain circles.

Pretty sure they won't need t break out a sweat at that rate of change, let alone need to run.

I’m sure even the most feeble Bangladeshi will manage to stay ahead of water rising up at a rate of 1/8 inch per year and get to higher ground; the Himalaya are right next door.

You can’t be serious about this ridiculousness?

The Himalaya are rising at a rate of 1cm per year.... yup, the Bangledeshi will be OK.

Study: U.S. Costal [sic] Communities Face More Than $400 Billion in Seawall Costs by 2040

20 June 2019– Coastal communities in the contiguous U.S. face more than $400 billion in costs over the next 20 years, much of it sooner, to defend coastal communities from inevitable sea-level rise, according to a new report released today by the Center for Climate Integrity in partnership with the engineering firm, Resilient Analytics.

This is approaching the cost of the original interstate highway system and will require the construction of more than 50,000 miles of coastal barriers in 22 states by 2040, half the time it took to create the nation’s iconic roadway network.

The first-of-its-kind report titled, “High Tide Tax: The Price to Protect Coastal Communities from Rising Seas” includes rankings of the estimated sea-level rise adaptation costs by city, county, congressional district, and state. Using moderate (not worst-case) sea-level rise projections for the year 2040 and storm surge expected to be seen every year, the report identified 132 counties where costs will exceed $1 billion, and 14 states where costs for these minimal defenses will exceed $10 billion. The top ten states are listed below, complete rankings can be found here.



For hundreds of small coastal and tidal communities identified in the report, the costs will far outstrip their ability to pay, making retreat and abandonment the only viable option unless enormous amounts of financing emerge in a very short period of time. As just one example of the scope and gravity of this problem, in 178 small communities the cost of building basic coastal defenses is more than $100,000 per person....

perhaps you should do a bit more book learning . The craton is like a giant seasaw the northern tire was pressed down by glacial weight which had the opposite effect on the other end of the seasaw( craton ) caused it to rise . Now with the northern tier no longer weighted down it is rising which causes the other end of the craton to subside. We have had this discussion to many times . Do your homework before class .

. Subsidence can also be caused by natural events such as earthquakes, soil compaction, glacial isostatic adjustment,

Yup... there’s Bangladesh right next door to Nepal and the Himalaya. Maybe you could use a summer school refresher?

Florida is not a part of the North American craton.

Bangladesh is on a river delta. It is not in the Himalayas.

The nearest tidal gauge show a 4.06 mm / year rise.
