@shavixmir saidApparently you didn't read the articles you posted since you don't know the answer.
The articles I posted answer that question.
But just take a step out of your rabbit hole for a second and reason:
If the Earth heats up by 1%, all the liters of water in the oceans heat up by 1%… and water over 4° expands when heated… what does logic tell you?
Answer the question. How many mm per year rise on average? Are you too embarrassed that the answer will make you look ridiculous? I think so.
Is it more or less than 2 pennies thick?
@metal-brain saidOh, I know the answer. I don't need the articles for that.

You read them. Get some proper science into your skull.
@metal-brain saidThe Earth will continue to spin, yes, with or without us.
That is simply not true. You may be able to come up with some islands in the Pacific that appear to be experiencing alarming sea level rise, but the tectonic plates they sit on are being pushed down. The islands are sinking.
Sea level rise is not alarming at all. Furthermore, the climate has been a lot warmer than now in the past. Life adapted then and it will adapt now. It isn't a problem.

Notice that shav does not want to post the answer. That is because the answer would be embarrassing to him.
@metal-brain saidWhat the fukk are you on?

The average is 3.5mm per year. AVERAGE.
This means that in various areas it has reduced and in various areas it's increased significantly.
Over the last 10 years... work it out... the AVERAGE.
This means in the areas where it is higher than average, storm surges, etc. wreck more havoc. More flooding. Less land. Etc.
And no, the surges are not always in the same place. Moon... tides... etc.
The only person here who should be embarrassed is you, because you don't comprehend the situation or what the data actually means.
@shavixmir saidShag doody for brains stop it, you're scaring us more than the bogeyman flu, we're probably going to boil alive.

@shavixmir saidWell, yes you can shag doody, you're trying to tell scary stories, like we used to when we were kids. bogey man stories.
I cannot be held responsible for your fear or stupidity.
@wajoma saidI most certainly am not making up scary stories.
Well, yes you can shag doody, you're trying to tell scary stories, like we used to when we were kids. bogey man stories.
I am telling you the facts. Proven facts. You can look up the facts and figures. It’s up to you and your fragility how you cope with them.
As for me personally, and I’ve mentioned thus many times, I don’t give a flying fukk about the environment, rising water levels and global warming.
I am not going to gloss over the facts though.

@metal-brain saidTechtronic plate movement takes millions of years. It doesn't drastically alter sea levels in just a few decades.
That is simply not true. You may be able to come up with some islands in the Pacific that appear to be experiencing alarming sea level rise, but the tectonic plates they sit on are being pushed down. The islands are sinking
Climate change is what's responsible for the alarming rise in sea levels, which is why those island nations are worrying.

@wildgrass
So now its the developers? Is ocean front property cheap? Affordable for mere common folks? No . It is expensive, unachievable for most. Why? It is a DESIRED place to live. If you are correct, anyone with half a brain and who currently owns ocean front property would be selling,....selling fast and cheap...whatever they could get for it.
@boonon saidI repeat that the activities of individual rich people are not useful indicators of climate change. There are multitudes of reasons for buying oceanfront property.

You can, however, look at what insurers are charging for premiums in these areas for an idea of how climate disaster risk is calculated. They are the companies footing the bill when the property is damaged. Insurance premiums are much higher in areas predicted to be affected by climate change. Some of them pulled out of Florida completely.
Property investors and developers (whatever you wanna call them) are not paying the bill for clean up. Why would they be selling fast and cheap? Some property owners in Florida are getting more money in cash than the property is worth after a big disaster. In these cases, it is more lucrative to buy in disaster-prone areas.

Is that all?
Don't make me laugh. That is 3.5 centimeters in 10 years. Ocean front properties are safe for at least a lifetime. You and wildgrass are making a mountain out of a molehill.
@vivify saidWhat alarming rise in sea levels? Shav said 3.5 mm per year on average. It is probably less than that, but I'll let him get away with it for now. It is still not alarming at all.
