NY Times: "Caused by Global Warming"
USGS: "More than half caused by land subsidence"
"Land subsidence causes more than half the relative sea level rise in Norfolk, largely explained by groundwater extraction." http://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1392/pdf/circ1392.pdf http://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1392/pdf/circ1392.pdf
The article at least mentions the subsidence issue by saying it will be "worse than average" in areas where the land is "sinking at a brisk clip", but gives a distorted view of the relative contribution.
- NotSammyHagar 10y agoSo you are saying there is some kind of scam to overestimate the rise in sea levels caused by global warming?
