Think about this a second, Last week when I posted this, 2/3 of the board started wishing for a small hurricane, so they could prove O.C. wrong! But you all wished to hard look t what you got!! that will teach you!! All joking aside, I hope each of you that may be in harms way, get thru this with little or NO harm!
Okay, I thought about it for a second and determined the following: I think you believe the majority of the forum is a lot more invested in what you post than they actually are. mmhmm, There are like three in the whole world that have any curiosity about what I post!

Sea level has been rising over the past century, and the rate has increased in recent decades. In 2017, global mean sea level was 3 inches (77 millimeters) above the 1993 average—the highest annual average in the satellite record (1993-present). It was the sixth consecutive year, and the 22nd out of the last 24 years in which global mean sea level increased relative to the previous year.
map of global sea level in 2017 compared to the long-term average, with positive anomalies in blue and negative anomalies in brown Global map showing where sea level in 2017 was higher (blue) or lower (brown) than the 1993-2017 average. NOAA Climate.gov map, adapted from Figure 3.16a in State of the Climate in 2017.
Since the start of the satellite sea level record in 1993, the average rate of sea level has been about one-eighth of an inch (3.1 mm) per year. The rising water level is mostly due to a combination of meltwater from glaciers and ice sheets and thermal expansion of seawater as it warms.

The light blue line shows seasonal (3-month) sea level estimates from Church and White (2011). The darker line is based on University of Hawaii Fast Delivery sea level data. For more detail on the data sources, see the end of the article.
The graph did not print,, So you need to click on the link to see the graph. My question,, in 1890, why did they start sea level - 200M/M? Where can we see where they were measuring Sea Level in 1890?

The "lying scientists" (cough, cough)are putting their money where their mouths are. Scientists flying less, or not at all, in movement to curb emissions There was a time when Angelica Lim, a Canadian robotics professor, travelled 20 times a year by plane, often to scientific conferences overseas. Then she took a test to calculate her carbon footprint. The results were shocking. "I realized that my carbon footprint was something like 20 times over what our goal should be," Lim, an assistant professor and artificial intelligence scientist at Simon Fraser University, told CTV News. For scientists and academics, flying overseas to attend conferences and meet face-to-face with other researchers is common. But the environmental toll is hard to ignore. A round-trip flight from London to New York City releases about 986 kg of CO2 per passenger, according to Atmosfair, a German nonprofit organization. That's more than the average citizen of countries such as Burundi and Paraguay releases in an entire year. www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/scientists-flying-less-or-not-at-all-in-movement-to-curb-emissions-1.4574321?cache=%3FclipId%3D89531
