From the same Common Dreams website:
| quote | A study published Monday in Nature Communications is the latest of several recent reports to detail the rapid rise of sea levels in the southern U.S., which is happening faster than scientists previously realized and has also intensified hurricane damage in coastal cities.
Scientists from institutions including Tulane University and the National Oceanography Center in the United Kingdom wrote in the study that "mean sea level acceleration" in the U.S. Southeast and Gulf coasts has led to a rate of increase of more than 10 millimeters, or one centimeter, per year since 2010—a rate that is "unprecedented in at least 120 years."
That finding bolstered a study published last month in the Journal of Climate by Jianjun Yin at the University of Arizona, who found that sea level changed by a total of nearly five inches in the region from 2010-2022—more than double the global mean sea level acceleration rate, according toThe Washington Post, which called the rapid sea level rise "abnormal and dramatic."
Scientists who have studied the phenomenon recently say that the warming of the Gulf of Mexico, which is happening much faster than in oceans across the globe, is causing sea levels to rise in the area as the water expands with heat and gets carried out of the gulf into the Atlantic Ocean. . . .
The trend in the region has so far only been detected for about 12 years, but with global sea levels rising steadily—a pattern scientists have warned will continue especially as long as fossil fuel extraction and greenhouse gas emissions persist—Sönke Dangendorf of the Nature Communications study said the research provides "a window into the future."
The rate of acceleration is close to what scientists expected from sea level rise towards "the end of the century in a very high greenhouse gas emissions scenario," the Post reported.
Rep. Sean Casten (D-Ill.) tweeted that the new research shows the likely short-term impact of continued planetary heating and sea level rise, following a report released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) last year which warned ocean levels along U.S. coastlines will rise by an average of 10 to 12 inches by 2050—and that Gulf Coast communities can expect an increase of 14 to 18 inches.
"The implication is that a home purchased today in Pensacola will be underwater before the mortgage is paid off," said Casten. "This is so scary." |

What kind of dumb azz doesn't know sea level does not increase in just one region ?

Globull Warming ?
Did you hear, Globull Warming is responsible for more home runs at bat. Thinner air, due to heat.
Look it up.

The dumb azzes at "institutions including Tulane University and the National Oceanography Center in the United Kingdom", according to that article in Common Dreams that I posted.
Dumb Azz Emeritus Jianjun Yin, who is affiliated with the Department of Geosciences at the University of Arizona, and is listed as the author of a recently published research paper in the Journal of Climate, "Rapid Decadal Acceleration of Sea Level Rise along the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts during 2010-2022 and Its Impact on Hurricane-Induced Storm Surge".
The several dumb azzes who are listed as authors of another recently published research report in the journal Nature, "Acceleration of U.S. Southeast and Gulf coast sea-level rise amplified by internal climate variability".
Scientifically credentialed dumb azzes.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 04-11-2023).]

And they all, including many family members and friends, have local/state tax funded beachfront property too.

That could describe a lot of people—not just scientists. Although I'm not clear on what is meant by "local and/or state tax-funded beachfront property".
I don't know how WonderBoy can know about the real estate assets of scientists, or more specifically, climate scientists and oceanographers, with such remarkable specificity.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 04-11-2023).]

This is a test.
Well.. there are.. uh.. the illiterate and ignorant.
Evidence of teachers not teaching, failing to meet their mandates, violating their contracts, misinforming the children.
Ai guided Voight-Kampff tests sorting the American peoples into groups displaying communist thought, rhetoric.
Millions of communists rounded up to secure the Nation from sabotage under martial law.
Reeducation camps like back in the day, 1901 in the Transvaal, Orange Free State.
Where am I ?
Herded into a dedicated learning environment, seven years of indentured labor, learning truth in a working education system.
You know things ?
