Follow the Science: Seas Rising 20 Times Slower than the Media Claim

The prominent progressive magazine The Nation published an article today claiming the current trajectory for sea level rise is 20-or-more feet during the next 100 to 200 years. Unfortunately for The Nation, but fortunately for objective truth and climate realism, the current trajectory for sea level rise is merely 1 foot per century.

Google News this morning is promoting The Nation’s article among its top results under the search term “climate crisis.” The Nation article, titled “How Warming Oceans Are Accelerating the Climate Crisis,” claims, “Humans have locked in at least 20 feet of sea level rise.”

The article also claims, “If seas rise 20 feet or more over the next 100 to 200 years – which is our current trajectory – the outlook is grim. In that scenario, there could be two feet of sea level rise by 2040, three feet by 2050, and much more to come.”

Good post.  Good info to know.  Meanwhile FEMA has redone their flood plain maps for insurance purposes and has added another category in my area based on the 0.2- percent-annual-chance (or 500-year) flood (whatever exactly that is supposed to mean).

I live in an area outside the 500 year flood.

With the new maps, supposedly in some areas FEMA is going to lower rates (ya right) and in some areas they are going to raise rates.  I'll see what happens when we got to renew.
