Because Tuvalu was the poster child for alarmists for decades
How about discussing the Solomons, Maldives, Marshells, Micronesia, Nauru, etc.. where islands have already disappeared.

the current rise in sea level.

So how much has the water risen?Malcolm says
Last time I was in Manhattan my feet stayed dry.
No one has been able to show me a picture where an island has been submerged due to rising sea level. No one has ever been able to even show me rising sea level in pictures.
I am open to the possibility that sea levels change, but for all the hype, there isn’t even a hint of proof. To me, it is inconclusive that there has been any measuresble rise over the last hundred years.

Who does google work for?

Why, the NSA of course.
But if you have nothing to hide, why do you need the bill of rights?
experiencing severe erosion,"
where a natural trade wind cycle has caused an extra build-up of water over the last half-century."
Question: What causes erosion?
Answer: moving water.
Question: what moves water?
Answer: Wind
These sand bars barely above sea level are prone to multiple natural forces, and just because they existed a few decades ago does not mean they are entitled to permanent existence and freedom from natural sources of erosion.

Answer: moving water.
Question: what moves water?
Answer: Wind
Question: What causes more erosion?
Answer: Higher water levels.

Did ya miss this part?
Hurricanes routinely destroy and form islands. These sand bars barely above sea level are prone to multiple natural forces, and just because they existed a few decades ago does not mean they are entitled to permanent existence and freedom from natural sources of erosion.
the alarmists
anon_5df70 saysDid ya miss this part?
But, no I didn't miss that. You know what else causes an extra build up of water? Ice that used to be over land melting.
How much did the water rise up because of the wind versus how much did the water rise because of that melting ice?
The Settled Science can't answer this.
But the safest course is to PANIC!!!

I haven't seen a measurable rise in water due to melting ice.
And you trust your eyes over actual scientific measurements?
Proxies aren't direct measurements. Ice Core Samples are Proxies, as are Tree Rings.
All I see are rational people showing potential outcomes if current trends don't change.

Idiocracy.
Yes
40 years, the sea level hasn't changed at the same places I've gone to.
How's that?

My guess is your eyes are unable to tell the change as it's small
compared to the changes due to tidal forces.
Sea levels aren't.
