If sea levels were falling we’d (conservatives) would get excoriated for that, too.

This is really bad news. I hate the beach but my wife really likes it for some reason. I moved 500 miles to be further from the coast. Now it will be closer. Just like every time I move to get away from others they pick my area for development.

Then why is the shoreline where I spent my summers in the 1960s exactly the same as it was then (rocky coast with little erosion)? This is total propaganda.

"at the current rate"
It is currently 49 degrees where I am; two hours ago, it was 47 degrees. At the current rate, it will be 83 degrees by tomorrow afternoon.

Complete and utter fake news / fake science. Overall ice on Greenland is higher and Antarctica overall has been above average in snow / ice for quite a number of years.

...speeding up the already fast pace of sea level riseSo, what is this rate? Give us the old rate and now this new "sped up" rate, please, CBS.
Also, can you tell us how much the ice caps have actually melted? Since 1700? Since 1800? Since 1900? Since 2000?
I suspect you do not know.

Leave it to a guy in the landlocked mountains of Colorado to study the oceans.
Maybe he moved there to escape the rising waters.

“the world’s oceans on average will be at least 2 feet”
Heck, that’s no so bad. Algore was all in for a 20’ rise.

Where exactly has the sea level risen? And where explicitly attributable to more water and not movement of the ground?

Time for mandatory evacuations on Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard then I guess. When I see John Kerry and the Kennedy's packing up their mansions, I'll pay more attention
