It seems to me one person's "drastic" is another person's "mundane".
What rate of rise would you consider drastic?
I don't expect you to read this, but I will post it anyway for $hits and giggles.I don't care about the data or research because you are unwilling to show the "effect". Why do I need data from some third party when you can just show the effect?

Coastal Consequences of Sea Level Rise | My NASA Data
The ocean's surface is not level, and sea levels change in response to changes in chemistry and temperature. Sophisticated satellite measurements are required for scientists to document current sea level rise. This module explores the evidence for sea level rise related to global climate change...mynasadata.larc.nasa.gov
Now we're cooking.Correct
I am unaware of any resource which predicts a rate of sea level rise at inches per year.Yeah, well, I mean to me if your doing few cms a year it probably isn't a huge problem. Inches per year could be life changing for certain area over time. But on the other hand, isn't that nature as well? Also, if we were talking inches a year that doesn't mean that is a trend that will or can continue.
Let's say the sea level changes inches per year, why is that bad per se for the planet. The problem is... they are trying to manufacture an effect and than come up with a false cause for the effect they created.
My question is... haven't the sea levels always been in flux?
Its a scam... its been a scam for well over 100+ years. Now with that said, there is pollution and humans can wreck some stuff but that is more of a logical discussion I would be on board with.

I believe sea levels have always been changing since our planet was formed.
Inches per year would be dramatic. But it wouldn't be a catastrophe. People can and do respond to threats by taking action. Your home place and McRib's favorite city in Louisiana is proof positive of this undeniable truth. Levees, dykes, lifting building and infrastructure, or even accepting the water and making it a unique place (like Venice) are a small list of responses to sea level rise.Yeah, I am saying that would be drastic to me.
I agree with your second statement. The world is always changing and always has.
They're like... the sea level is rising.... I'm like cool. They're like.... the sea level is going down... I'm like cool.
Now we're cooking.
Those places, some going back thousands of years, had ports then and they have ports now.
How is it possible with seas rising at 40 cm per century, or 400cm per millennia (about 13 feet) that these places had functional ports several millennia ago and also have functional ports today?
Fractions of inches, or millimeters.I am unaware of any resource which predicts a rate of sea level rise at inches per year.

Fractions of inches, or millimeters.
To be exact, relying on satellite measurements (which @LSU-SIU claimed couldn't be done).... scientists have measured the rate of sea-level rise at 0.13 inches or 3.4 millimeters per year since 1993. That is an accelerated rate to what had previously been the case.
Al true. They have also rebuilt ports.Sea walls and other flood mitigation measures?
I am looking for measurables which are much longer than 30 years. Which, i think it like a millisecond in geologic time. Too brief to be of any value.Fractions of inches, or millimeters.

Yes, you did.
You have since deleted it, but your initial reply was, "How would satellites measure sea levels?" You even put an "LOL" on the end of it, as though I had said something stupid.
Are you kidding me?I asked you a question. I never said it couldn't be done. Question still stands as you didn't answer.
Where should the sea levels be by the way?
Are you kidding me?
I have posted multiple links explaining how NASA employs satellite technology to measure sea levels and posted another link outlining some coastal consequences for these rising levels.
There is no point to this .... you ask for explanations and examples of effects, but then don't click on what I link.
@hog88, I hope I have adequately explained why i disagree with BB's premise about the threat to global trade due to CC.
It's not my premise. I'm no expert on this, and will be the first to admit it. It's NASA's belief, based on their data, which I happen to trust.@hog88, I hope I have adequately explained why i disagree with BB's premise about the threat to global trade due to CC.
I have posted a link which does explain some effects.
