The models did not predict those things, and sea level has only risen 3.3mm since 1995 according to NOAA data. While the examples listed are certainly tragedies, we must be careful about attributing them post-hoc, as it weakens credibility for longer-term political optics.
- take_a_breath 7y agoI think you misread the data. NOAA says sea level is rising 3.3mm each year. 3.3mm is almost exactly an eighth of an inch. [1] “In 2014, global sea level was 2.6 inches above the 1993 average—the highest annual average in the satellite record (1993-present). Sea level continues to rise at a rate of about one-eighth of an inch per year.” [1] https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/sealevel.html https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/sealevel.html
