“Twenty meters per thousand years equates to one meter of sea level change in a 50-year period,”

Somebody please show me where any CONUS coastline has changed 1 meter in the past 50 years????

More crapola!

So . . . slip-ons? . . . or chest waders?

"He said the sea level high stand of 81,000 years ago was preceded by rapid ice melting, "

81,000 years ago, global warming all the way back then? So which one of these guys was to blame?

Neanderthal or Cro Magnon?

Another global warming shill and demagogue. Thanks decimon.

Thanks decimon. This paper is just more scare tactics shilling on behalf of the anti-human propaganda that is global warming. The climate is 100 per cent natural 100 per cent of the time. That doesn't mean everything happens gradually. :')

The deal here is that this study does not support theories currently being used by today’s modelers, by a factor of 2.5.

“”Twenty meters per thousand years equates to one meter of sea level change in a 50-year period,” Dorale said. “Today, over one-third of the world’s population lives within 60 miles of the coastline. Many of these areas are low-lying and would be significantly altered — devastated — by a meter of sea level rise. Our findings demonstrate that changes of this magnitude can happen naturally on the timescale of a human lifetime. Sea level change is a very big deal.”

Not sure why this is such a big deal. People aren’t so supid they are going to stand there for 50 years while the water rises. It changes the coastline. Some homes and buildings will be abandoned—some people will lose money. Some will gain. Then, when the water falls, they come back.
