human emissions of greenhouse gases are primarily responsible,

The Biggest Science Lie in the World.

And completely agreed upon by everyone with a humanities degree.

The oceans are rising faster than at any point in the last 28 centuries, and human emissions of greenhouse gases are primarily responsible,

The first statement may be a valid observation, but the second is just conjecture. I.e., the typical alarmist propaganda strategy.

Well, dagnabbit!

Every time you flush your toilet, the water has to go somewhere.

Eventually that water ends up in the ocean.

Now where are there huge concentrations of toilets?

Cities and College Campuses.

If all the people in cities and on college campuses just stopped flushing their toilets...that'd take care of the problem right there.

Now how did that happen without global warming?

Good point. Now, how can we cause another ice age and regain all that land mass that has been lost to Global Warming? We are going to need to make the planet cold enough for ice sheets a couple miles thick to cover North America down to about I-70. Then we'll be able to walk to Cuba and Russia and Hawaii will have another half dozen islands. Think of the real estate potential. It will make everybody RICH!

(Do I need a cynical tag on this or is it obvious enough?)

Mrs. Henkster and I went to Orange Beach, AL, in October 2014. We went back, same week, October 2015.

I didn’t notice a difference. There were a few better restaurants, though.

The ocean could rise as much as three or four feet by 2100, as ocean water expands and the great ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica begin to collapse.

And if they believe that, they could save up to 15% on car insurance by calling...

“””So glad they had 2800 years worth of data to base this upon /epic sarc””””

You must not know much about sciency stuff. If you have some plutonium, a flux capacitor and a DeLorean you can go back in time and collect the data. That is prolly what they did.

The Great Lakes are rising also.

Unfortunately the climate change global warming theory was that the Great Lakes cycle of going up and down would end, and they would perpetually get lower.

It was one of the last predictions made by the warmists that proved false. They were trumpeting the low lake levels three years ago as proof of their stupid theory.

Now that the lake levels are above the mean, I love getting my neighbors on the lake to blush when I remind them......

Virginia Beach, which does have a sea coast gets no flooding from the ocean and the beaches are 2-3 times wider today than they were when I moved here.

They pump sand up onto the beach every winter.

I'll start worrying when the Warmists build an ark.

I went down to the beach near my house yesterday morning. When I went by about 6 hours later, the ocean had risen about 6 feet! OMG, this is totally real, we must do something, and start taxing the bell out of businesses to give to pygmies to control it!

No, as a matter of fact, they're not. Of course the NY Slimes has a history of printing ridiculous lies about the climate, such as, circa late 1990s, that the North Pole ice had melted for the first time in millions of years.

In the winter time, and for that matter during hurricane season, the waves generally have more energy and will winnow the beach sediments, moving the sand offshore below the wave base. When things are more calm in the summer, the sand grains get moved back onto the beaches and life goes on.

I noticed that hunting for old bottles in the tidewater where I grew up, and some of the most miserable weather (windy, cold, reverse storm surge, spring low tides) was the best for finding 'stuff'.

“...roughly three-quarters of the tidal floods now occurring in towns along the American East Coast would not be happening in the absence of sea-level rise caused by human emissions.”

And yet this same article says the oceans have only risen 8” since 1880? I don’t even know how they can come up with that number to be honest.

You're right, but the height of the sea wall doesn't change. And it's the same level now that's it's been for years. I made the point about the width of the beach because the loons crying sea level rise point to beach erosion as proof of their claim.

New Orleans sits atop silt. You don't hit bedrock until 1,000 feet down. It's sitting on top of a slow-motion mudslide into the Gulf.

Yes, indeed, you will measure "sea level rise" there too.

Were the Mayans keeping records at every ocean around the world? That seems to be the claim here.
