[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 687571"] I didn't say it was more urgent than sea level rise. I said its just also urgent. And that sea level is rising irrespective of any human causes. The rate of change of sea level rise over the last 50 years compared to say the previous 100 is not very different. So even if it were 100% from humans (which isn't alleged), you're talking about less than 1 inch different. Here is one: [URL]https://www.forbes.com/sites/trevornace/2017/09/12/study-finds-the-east-coast-of-america-is-sinking-into-the-atlantic-ocean/#53e782d733fb[/URL] 1.2 inches of sinking per decade. And sinking is actually also human caused - all the weight of concentrated building causes those areas to sink. The pulling of water out of aquifers leads to subsistence. And overbuilding removes trees which drink the water. Flooding is caused by a number of human-driven factors, and only 1 small part is global warming. Sinking ground, overbuilding, the weight of buildings, all leads to it. Note that over the last 50 years, its estimated that sea level along the southeast has risen 4 inches and that the ground has sank 6 inches. [/QUOTE]
