Global average sea level rose by around 0.17 m (1.7 mm/year) during the 20th century. In Europe rates of sea-level rise (SLR) ranged from - 0.3 mm/year to 2.8 mm/year. Recent results from satellites and tide gauges indicate a higher average rate of global SLR in the past 15 years of about 3.1 mm/year.


Hmmmm, what do we know about that 3.1 mm/year?

Based on a study by the University of Miami:




Holy CRAP!! The sea isn't RISING 3.1 mm/year.. the ground is SINKING -3 mm per year..

Coastal Subsidence: Harbinger of Future Flooding?

But it’s important to remember that flood potential reflects the integrated effects of past subsidence, not just the current rate of change (of course the current rate of relative sea level rise is critical for future planning). Several hundred years of slow subsidence from GIA since the towns in this region were first established means that they are now about one half meter lower than their original elevation. And it’s only getting worse.

The other peak in nuisance flooding (32° – 36° N latitude, including parts of South and North Carolina) is more enigmatic. Karegar et al. (2016) suggested that ground water extraction from coastal aquifers over the last few decades is a contributing factor, resulting in modern subsidence rates that are double the rate from geological measurements (averaging over a much longer time) and GIA models.

Damn, pulling ground water out faster than the aquifiers can refill the holes is causing the ground to sink. Better call Al Gore....

Not so magical today?
Did you even read your own cited document? I'll do it for you.
"The study attributed the flooding frequency increase to a decadal-scale accelerating rates of SLR. (Sea Level Rise). "
LoL

False Dilemma, oversimplication

And guess what also happens? Since all that water is sucked out of the ground and isn't replaced, not only does the ground sink, but all that water ends up running out of the sewer plants, down the rivers, and into the ocean, causing the sea level to rise.

Imagine that.

LoL


That was already pointed out due to the rise in the population and the increase amount of water pumped from the ground, causing it to sink.... duh...

Read the last few sentences of your post... duh...

Right, that is why the paper cited Reference:
47   kt1652   2019 Feb 23, 9:01pm  

Author's Conclusion: The combined effect of subsidence and SLR (Sea Level Rise) further expose the subsiding areas to higher flooding hazard than the rest of the city.


iow: Sea level rise is real, but building on swamp land is a contributing factor that makes flooding even worse for low lying areas.

n+1>n, Nothing in the paper is contradictory to the established SLR predictions.

Stick to Trump, sjw, politics, if citing the Daily Caller.
====
The Daily Caller has published a number of articles that dispute the scientific consensus on climate change.[16] In 2017, The Daily Caller published a story falsely claiming that a "peer-reviewed study" by "two scientists and a veteran statistician" found that recent years have not been the warmest ever.[17][18] The alleged "study" was a PDF file on a WordPress blog, and was neither peer-reviewed nor published in a scientific journal.[17] Also in 2017, The Daily Caller uncritically published a bogus Daily Mail story which claimed that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) manipulated data to make climate change appear worse; at the same time, legitimate news outlets debunked the Daily Mail story.[19][20][21] Also in 2017, The Daily Caller published a story claiming that a study found no evidence of accelerating temperatures over a 23-year period, which climate scientists described as a misleading story.[16] In 2016, The Daily Caller published a story claiming that climate scientist Michael Mann (director of the Earth System Science Center at Pennsylvania State University) had asserted that data was unnecessary to measure climate change; Mann described the story as "egregiously false".[22] In 2015, The Daily Caller wrote that NOAA "fiddle[d]" with data when the agency published a report concluding that there was no global warming hiatus.[23][24]

What's really surprising was how wasteful the dinosaurs were when driving around in their SUVs and how much coal the cavemen were burning 5 million years ago. Look how high the Global Warming sea levels were 5 million years ago




How many SUVs do you think they were driving to achieve that level of warming from CO2 get that extreme sea level rise? All of Southern Florida was under water. Imagine that. Makes the 3 mm seem like child's play, right?

See 5) above.
Rate of change: (Y1-Y2)/(X1-X2) = m (slope)
Denominator of of 20,000years would be of no concern to anyone.
You can't see that?
The earth survives whether man die from starvation, heat or nuke fallout.
If the timeframe were to be that long, hell, man would have relocated to Mars.

What about old age? Does the earth survive if man dies of old age?

Alarmist are so entertaining.

So kt1652, if you think it is getting too hot with all this winters snow, what is the ideal average temperature for man on earth?

Iwog, a former poster here, predicted an ice free arctic ocean by 2022. Al Gore predicted 2013. When do you think the ice will be gone?

Michael "hockey stick" Mann, the guru of global warming, predicted multi degree warming in the first decade of this century. How hot do you think it will get?

So @kt1652 what is your prediction of doom? Flooding? Antarctic melting? Mass wetbulb death?

And when do you expect the doom?

Deniers wanna know.

Why would NOAA do that?
