I see stories like this from time to time, and I never understand it. Is there a hill of water off the coast of the American South which is causing localized sea levels to rise? Is this hill of water not present over on the other side of the Atlantic?
Texas is on the gulf. North Carolina is on the Atlantic. This idiot is in Arizona.
Just a guess but maybe it’s the method of measurement that differs and not the actual sea level.
Gilligan! what are you doing with that stick?
I use it to hold my crab pots. I had to move it deeper to catch the big ones!!
gilligan! I was using that stick to measure the sea levels.

My land in Newport NC is still 7 inches above sealevel at high tide. Been that way since we bought it 16 years ago.
I thought the moon was primarily responsible for the tides, and to a lesser extent the gravitational pull of the gas giants (which also affects Earth’s orbit). Innumerable variables make it impossible to know or forecast what’s happening to our climate in the future, or do much about it. I would much prefer spending the climate hoax money on cleaning up the planet as opposed to lining the pockets of a few mega-rich individuals.
It’s all in the climate change, of course!

“Climate change” is simply not what some people imagine it to be. It is today’s boogie man, a malign spirit conjured up to frighten and subjugate the fearful and those of weak convictions. Simply stating that the “sea levels are rising” and will overwhelm our coastal cities is a myth propagated on the basis on just about nothing at all. There is, in some localities, subsidence of the land, so there is an APPEARANCE of “rising” sea level, but it is not due to melting of the polar ice caps. At the north pole, the melting of ALL the ice would make not one whit of difference in sea level, as the volume of ice which FLOATS on water, then shrinks to the volume of the water it displaced, not changing the level.
But that is scientific reasoning, which is anathema to the “climate specialists”.
For the record:
The ‘hill’ on the Atlantic side only exists in the region of Chesapeake Bay where the region is - coincidentally - undergoing glacial isostatic rebound and groundwater extraction (the land is sinking, also affecting other areas of the East Coast due to the latter without the prior).

and, of course, they use that to great effect:
It is called "subsidence" and is primarily caused by pumping groundwater from underground aquifers faster than they can recharge and, to a lesser extent, high density development, including constructing multiple high rise buildings in coastal areas. Basically, building those high density cities that liberals want to force everyone to live in.
The ground level in some coasta areas is going down. The sea level is remaining constant.
