Sea level rise at the Dutch coast has been stable for about the last 100 years. No significant acceleration.

  Citation needed. Besides, sea-level rise is not uniformly distributed, same as temperature variation due to climate change. But overall, yes, the sea level is rising, and it is accelerating globally. All of that is explained here [1].

      Are you gaslighting me or what, dude? Because your own very first link shows a clear sea-level rise of almost 20 centimeters from 1900. (this https://www.psmsl.org/data/obtaining/rlr.annual.plots/20_high.png https://www.psmsl.org/data/obtaining/rlr.annual.plots/20_hig..., if you are incapable of clicking on links in actual webpages). What are you trying to say? It hasn't accelerated? Because clearly it must have sped up since before records began, otherwise it would not agree with records and reconstructions from 1000 and 2000 years ago.

        First of all, that is in no way an acceptable way to perform a conversation. Secondly, can you read? From my comment : > Sea level rise at the Dutch coast has been stable
        • titzer 5y ago
          To be brutally honest, it tests people's patience when someone posts trollish, curt, unsupported comments like "it's not accelerating here at place X" when a specific location is clearly not at issue, out of context, and out of perspective of the global problem. Then we end up down a rathole dispelling the stink around another unnecessary distraction which is clearly motivated by nothing but muddying the waters. It's just obfuscation and FUD, frankly. Sorry that it's uncomfortable when you're called out on it.

            So, you failed at basic reading comprehension and now you are blaming me? Your link fails to load here at my Dutch internet connection btw. edit: climate.gov loads again.

  In e.g. northern Europe post-glacial rebound (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound) compensates somewhat, depending on locale. Edit: At my location in southern Sweden it seems like this expected land rise compensates for ~70% of the expected sea level rise, but the data seems a bit sketchy. I think more research is needed.

    Well, from that article, The Netherlands appears to be outside that locale.

  Florida is porous limestone. Even the most sophisticated seawalls wouldn’t prevent water from coming in through the sides and up, unless you drilled those walls very deep...and even then you’d have to get water from somewhere once you’ve pumped it all out of the state (an issue already happening regardless of carbon output - look up lateral saltwater intrusion)

    I said nothing about our seawalls, the sea level rise at our coasts has been about stable for the last century with no noticable acceleration.
    • titzer 5y ago
      > the sea level rise at our coasts has been about stable for the last century This just completely false. [1] [1] https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-global-sea-level https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/...

        > at our coasts From my initial comment it is crystal clear I am speaking about The Netherlands.
