Puhleeze. This is hysterical baloney.
If the seas are higher in Europe, and water seeks its own level, the sea level would be higher here in NJ, NY, Pennsylvania, Maryland.....
I’ve been down to the Jersey Shore multiple times this year, and the very same spots I go fishing and crabbing are exactly the same level they were last year, and the year before, and year before..... as the tide goes in and out, that is.
The other thing that puts the Kabosh on these global warming nuts is the fact that as an ice cube melts in a glass of water, the aggregate level does not rise, because the ice cube shrinks as it melts, there for making more space for the liquid.
Same principle that would affect the oceans as they relate to the ice caps.
You convinced me. I have changed my mind. Rising oceans is bogus propaganda.

Ice caps?
That depends. One must differentiate between seasonal sea ice and the continental glaciation of Greenland and Antarctica. The great ice shelves of the latter are already floating so they don’t count, but if the vast stretches of ice on the land were to melt, yes, it would raise things.
The funniest part is how the MSM and the usual suspects go into fibrillation whenever a massive tabular berg breaks off the Larsen or Ross ice shelves. Then it’s the end of the world. Ice calving off Alaskan glaciers is still good for doomsday footage, of course.
You see Greenland and Antarctica melt down, you let me know.
