3 feet in 50 years?!?

Jennifer Wadsworth writes, in the local cheesy papers:

Experts predict that the bay waters will ascend another 3 feet by 2050.

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?

When I was a kid they predicted a man-made ice age in due course,
meaning a few decades. I really believed that nonsense and got scared.
Now that I've grown up it's easier to see through that. Much of it is
just propaganda.

Do you know what the word "endemic" means? Or does it just look good to you in print?

"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.

Time - they always give themselves the leeway of saying "if things continue as they are". Well EVEN if they continued as they are more land is being made than is being lost.

Where is this land being made? I know China is making some islands in the South China Sea to set up airports, docks to militarize the area. But I am not sure that counts.

Actually a considerable amount of land has been reclaimed. The
Netherlands have reclaimed very large amounts either by filling or
building dikes. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_reclamation
for a better grasp on the subject.

Don't forget that a large part of the Netherlands have been below sea level since the Little Ice Age ended.
