Experts predict that the bay waters will ascend another 3 feet by

3 feet?!? Current rate is 3mm/0.14", which w/o acceleration == 7" in
50 yrs.

Who is saying 3 feet in 50 yrs? And what do -we- think?

"We" probably don't think anything. You probably think one thing and I
probably think something else. I haven't bothered to look at the
article you reference- doesn't the author cite the source of the
information? Competent journalism about science provides reference to
the source material.
