[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 338891, member: 322"] Nothing really debunked here. Just sensationalism to suit viewpoint. Concerning sea level rise, the point is correct that Miami is seeing more sea level rise, but that just ignores the bigger issue of global sea level rise which along with average sea temperature is what I believe to be the best indicator of global climate change as opposed to local weather. "[I]The global average sea level is rising at about 3.4 millimeters a year, because of higher temperatures, which melt ice sheets and cause water to expand.
