We were camping at a state park in the Keys a few years ago and the ranger told us they had to reduce the size of the (waterfront) campsites because of the rising sea levels and global warming... eventually blaming it on our republican governor.

Wanted to ask him if he had ever heard of erosion or subsidence... but didn't want to get into an argument with a dumbass. I am a land surveyor and the mean sea level has not changed and will not change significantly in our lifetime. I can get into more detail with 19 year cycles for mean high water elevations, etc etc.... but most of these people are just parroting what they hear on CNN or any cable network (discovery channel, PBS, etc.) Any changes we are seeing is not an actual change in sea level, it is changes in our coastal areas from naturally occurring phenomena from the water movement (hydrodynamics).
