There's some island in the Pacific that the global warming crowd used to point to as the first that would go under water. Year after year nothing happened to the island and about 10 years ago they dropped it -- it was a few inches above sea level, and it's still a few inches above sea level. I don't remember the name...

My home is on the edge of a mangrove - with a salt water stream at the end of my back yard - and as far as I can tell the stream height follows the same tidal patterns it always has -- it's only at a sustained higher level when a hurricane is within a hundred miles. My home is supposed to be 12 feet above sea level - but when I stand by the water and look at the house it seems more like 8 feet. If I see a change in water level, I'll let you know.

So far the ocean isn't rising, except by less than an inch, maybe. The game is Greenland and Antarctica, and while Greenland seems to be losing some ice (the north pole areas do seems to be warming), Antarctica is gaining ice it appears, net. Coastal problems are due to subsidence. That is what Louisiana is all about.
