Sea levels supposedly rising are confounded by the fact that some coastlines are sinking, and by erosion of coastlines.

My understanding is that actual sea levels are rising very slowly, as they have for thousands of years.

Twenty years or so ago, when we were still on Cape Cod, we had a couple of storms that caused quite a bit of damage, including busting a new entrance across from Chatham harbor.

We had a great local resource down there in the Woods Hole Oceanagraphic Institute. I learned a lot from there about sea level rise and dontinental subsidence.

One thing for sure: Cape Cod wasn't there until the last Ice Age dropped its final load of boulders, gravel and sand about 15,000 years ago and I'm willing to bet that it won't be here 15,000 years from now.

I have to take better care of myself though if I'm going to be here to prove it. :O)
