10 times faster is actually 4 x 2 = 10 using modern math. Don’t be so difficult. /S

I’ve read that the surface of the earth is still rebounding from the weight of the ice sheets that melted away. If the land is rising, it would explain why we should NOT expect flooding from rising oceans. At least at this point.

Another fun fact, as recently as the early 1900's, a relatively short time ago there were citrus groves as far north as Georgia. Since the winter of 1977 when snow was on the ground as far south as Tampa there's very few citrus groves left north of the Rat.
That same year was one of the hottest summers in NY, temps topped 100 in some parts of the Catskills. At any given moment some area of the world is hotter/colder/drier/rainier/snowier than "average". It's
