NASA blamed the rise mostly on the expansion of ocean water as it warms, a process known as thermal expansion. In recent years, approximately two-thirds of sea level rise resulted from land-based ice melt, while one-third was due to thermal expansion. However, in 2024, this trend reversed — thermal expansion accounted for two-thirds of the rise.

Shit they're going to get targeted with funding cuts due to this excellent research

If we delete all of this data and fire and muzzle the scientists, then the problem will go away.

Oh no if only someone had warned us 30 years ago....

wow. an inch every four years about and the rate is still rising. So a foot in 48 years which might sound long but its no longer oh that is beyond my lifetime type of thing.

No one will care enough until they're screwed sadly

TIL NASA is woke.

(/s shouldn't be required but here we are...)

No problem just sell your house to aquaman

Exponential functions are a bitch

Mar-a-lago is 15 feet above sea level.

Edit: some of the grounds are at 4 feet.

That's how momentum works ...
