“The level of the sea, after rising and falling only slightly and slowly on a very limited scale through the millennia, has suddenly risen three inches in eight years according to measurements from Maine to Virginia.
At least one scientist sees in the trend, which is continuing, a potential for “catastrophe on low coastlines within 30 years.”
