Probably because of all of the farting around going on up there by the northeast liberals.
Two or three threads earlier today on this. It’s unsettling that this nonsense is being picked up by so many “news” outlets. The 15-year old link shows what is happening in one area. Scientific explanations of the past are being overlooked (deliberately?) in favor of the old standby “global warming” and man-caused climate change as the culprit.
... or you built your house at low tide LOL ...
That’s why I left the wheels on mine.
It’s not the sea rising. Time was that area was covered with a mile and a half of ice. When it melted the land rose. Now there are liberals a mile and a half deep and since they are so full of it that they leave brown tracks everywhere they weigh more than the ice did and they have reversed the process.

“Had anyone with half a brain peer-reviewed this paper, they would have looked at the satellite data and realized that there has been little or no sea level rise in that region over the last decade. Much of the rise in sea level which the authors think they are seeing, is actually due to subsidence of the land.”

How’s Bangladesh doing? They should be under water if this is true...which it isn’t.
"I believe this idea has a strong connection with reality. I don't think we have much time. Fidel Castro said in one of his speeches I read not so long ago, 'tomorrow could be too late, let's do now what we need to do'."
"I believe it is time that we take up with courage and clarity a political, social, collective and ideological offensive across the world a real offensive that permits us to move progressively, over the next years, the next decades, leaving behind the perverse, destructive, destroyer, capitalist model and go forward in constructing the socialist model to avoid barbarism and beyond that the annihilation of life on this planet."

Your forgetting about the effects of glashal ice pushing down the land inland thus building up the land near the coast.
Coastal New England will settled into the ocean and I say good ridden
heheh closer than you think. Coastal New England actually is sinking its a phenomena known as Post-glacial rebound.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound
Basicly ice weights a lot, so much in fact that when it covered the land in vast sheets it pushed down the crust causing the perimeter to budge up. After that ice melted 11-5 thousand years ago the crust has been slowly settling ever sense.
Looks like a refinement of what we were taught in grade school in the 1950s & 60s: "West Coast is an emerging/rising shore; East Coast is a subsiding/sinking shore."
We keep breeding new generations of the blooming idiots.
I've seen three waves now, and they all think they have discovered Nobel Prize material.
There is a very good reason why we have never heard about any of them.
OK Lefties, what should we do about it?
Came up with that answer pretty quick, didn't you?
LOL
The #1 goal of government schooling. Real thinkers resist collectivism.
We have the same issue with global average temperature measurements. No one likes to talk about it. At least no one shilling for AGW grants, or helping the whole scam along.
Ergo the correct scientific conclusion should be that the land in these areas is sinking.
The end.
ps: Next time they want this type of 'research' done, maybe should call a Plumber.
(But not on Sundays, nooo. Not Sundays.)
Oh baloney.

For example Finland is growing by 2.7 square miles per year, the water has to go somewhere.
The land is still rising. It's called "isostatic rebound." It's the reason why you can look at a topographical map of Canada and see many huge, natural lakes. While if you look at a map of the U.S., you'll see the Great Lakes (most of them shared with Canada) and other smaller lakes only in the northern states. Virtually all other American lakes, except for lowland lakes close to the sea like Lake Ponchartrain, are artificially-created lakes.
After the retreat (actually melting) of the last huge ice sheets, areas of Wisconsin and Minnesota were covered with huge glacial lakes like Lake Agassiz. That lake and others like it are no more as the land rose emptying them. Huge amounts of Candadian water are still being emptied into the sea as the land rises. And that is one big reason why the sea is rising.
