Raleigh. Living in cities threatened by sea-level rise could be like
living near an active volcano, according to NOAA oceanographer William Sweet.

Some parts of the Earth are seeing sea levels rise far beyond average,
and it's just a waiting game before some areas are inundated with sea
water, studies show.

The East Coast of the US is experiencing "sunny day flooding" that
scientists didn't expect for decades yet.

Sea levels are rising at a rate of about an inch per year (5 inches
from 2011-15) in some areas along the East Coast, from North Carolina
to Florida, according to one study - that's faster than researchers expected.

Residents of coastal communities most often feel the effects of sea
level rise during tidal flooding.

Tidal flooding, also known as "sunny day flooding" is the temporary
inundation of low-lying areas, such as roads, during high-tide events -
especially during "king tides," the highest tides of the year.

King tides aren't caused by sea level rise in and of themselves, but
because they are the annual peak tides, they demonstrate how sea level
has already risen over the past 100 years.

Sea levels aren't rising equally "like water in a bathtub," according
to a report from Yale Environment 360. "The oceans are more akin to a
rubber kiddie pool where the water sloshes around unevenly, often
considerably higher on one side than another."

Island, N.C., after Hurricane Irene swept through the area Sat
cutting the roadway in 5 locations. Irene caused more than 4.5
mn homes and businesses along the East Coast to reportedly lose
power over the weekend, and at least 11 deaths were blamed on the
storm. (AP Photo/Steve Helber, File) Steve Helber AP

More flooding, higher costs

Climate scientists view sea level rise as one of the most obvious
signals of a warming planet. Sea water expands as it warms, and
melting land-based ice sheets adds to rising water levels.

There are neighborhoods that now flood on sunny days, but didn't years
ago even during especially high tides, according to the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

And as sea levels continue to rise, the frequency, depth and extent of
coastal flooding will continue to worsen, according to NOAA.

In 2016, Charleston saw 50 days of tidal flooding.

Fifty years ago? Just 4 days.

Flooding projections are set at about 25% above average for
2017-18 for areas including Wilmington, according to a recent NOAA report.

Wilmington had 84 days of high-tide flooding in 2016, according to NOAA.

"It is important for planning purposes that US coastal cities become
better informed about the extent that high-tide flooding is increasing
and will likely increase in the coming decades," according to the
Feb 2018 NOAA report.

Idiot..... it's ground subsidence as the southern U.S. sinks, and Canada, especially as the north is rising from the retreat of the great Ice Sheets of the last Glacial Period.

The continent is very gradually tilting..... One side rises and the other side sinks... normal occurance following Glacial retreat.

The main cause of East Coast subsidence is natural — the loss of a massive ice sheet one or two mile thick coveing the north half of the continent for about 120,000 years. . Some 15,000 years ago, toward the end of an ice age, the Laurentide Ice Sheet stretched over most of Canada and down to modern-day New England and the Midwest. Its heavy ice compressed the earth beneath it, causing surrounding land to curl upward.

If you lift one end of a see-saw... what happens to the other end ? ? Gee... I wonder...

Since the ice sheet melted away.., the land beneath it has been springing back up.

Any moron interested.. including Kimmie Horse smell can find out all about it if they wish.

Did you know that if you wish to look,,, you can see series of ancient beaches now high and dry in many areas of Hudson Bay as northern Canada rises higher ? ?

Kimmie Horsesmell... idiot Alarmist. Keep trying to scare us all Horse smell.

Sea level rise has been continuing with the same 2mm - 3mm per year rise it's had for the past approx. 8000 years since it slowed dramatically back then.

So that's, 1 inch a year. That's 25mm vs 3mm 'adjusted' Sea level.


25mm - 3mmSL = 22mm subsidence.

125mm - 15mmSL = 110mm subsidence.


4.33 inches.




In some parts of the world you can't just roll up and build
a giant rental home on the beach. There's a rule of law.

However in this case it seems some people think they can just
turn up an build beach rental homes on inlets, estuaries, the
beach and in the sea.

And then we get campaigners turn up and cry about the tide
coming in and demand the whole world should retool all its
energy sectors.

In more logical times, people would have moved further inland.
