“Mitchell also notes that most West Coast localities have been fairly stable, despite past predictions that they would increase rapidly. “This has led to some questions about why,” she said.” ^ this interested me, apparently it’s due to geological uplift combined with regional water patterns. The regional water patterns are due to winds and the ENSO cycle, which can mask long term effects. Apparently it will increase faster once Antarctica starts shedding in earnest.
