Sea levels rise by 'unexpected' amount in 2024: NASA

Global sea levels rose more than expected in 2024, Earth's hottest year on record, according to an analysis released Thursday by the US space agency NASA.

On its website, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration explained that last year's increase "was due to an unusual amount of ocean warming, combined with meltwater from land-based ice such as glaciers."

According to the analysis led by NASA, which monitors rising water levels using satellite imagery, the world's seas rose by 0.23 inches (0.59 centimeters) in 2024, well above the 0.17 inches (0.43 cm) predicted by scientists.

"Every year is a little bit different, but what's clear is that the ocean continues to rise, and the rate of rise is getting faster and faster," said researcher Josh Willis of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Rising sea levels are among the consequences of human-induced climate change, and oceans have risen in line with the increase in the Earth's average surface temperature -- a change which itself is caused by greenhouse gas emissions.

So, a rounding error that's inconsequential.

But that doesn't matter; Its definitely my fault and I should spend my life paying higher taxes and eschewing the western standard of living to combat that canard.

If you live near the ocean just look at the ramps and pilings that have been in the same place for 75 years or more....Still there with the rise and fall of the tides as usual.

I've been propping my fishing pole on the same piling on the outer banks for 40+ years and it's not underwater yet.

Hopefully Trump gets shed of the CC weenies at NASA like he did NOAA.

making ignorant statements and predictions never solved a problem either.

Are you suggesting we do away with the democrat party?

You must have your head way up your ass to think that it's a "problem" in the first place.

That said, I know some livelihoods depend on CC grift.

OhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGodOhGod ... Miami International airport only has 350 years to build some sea walls ... Oh the humanity ... will our jet fuel supply last that long? ... and where are they getting that much dirt? ... it'll take one man with one shovel a good ten years to move all that, if he's paid by the government [wink wink nudge nudge] ... do any of you know what a "shovel" is? ...

Go to the ocean with a three foot stick (≈12/13th a meter) ... the time should be at high tide, nearest the full or new moon, during the first week of January ... the commercial media will be vomiting up the best chance for this Super Goddam Fuck-You-In-The-Ass We're-All-Gonna-Die Unprecedented Historic Moon ... they always do ...

Now ... drive one end of the three foot stick (≈12/13th meter) one foot (≈1/13th meter) into the sand ... at the exact point the furthest wave breaks and begins to recede ... with two feet exposed (≈8/13th meter) ... then level over towards land ... that's where the highest wave will be in 100 years (≈ 2.6 kilofortnights) ...

... and now you know ... 1/13th of a meter is exactly 500 µ-furlongs ... and for this I've lost my government job ...

Rising sea levels are among the consequences of human-induced climate change

When the northern hemisphere deglaciates, the oceans and the atmosphere warm. Been going on for 3 million years.

Er ... other way around ... warmer seas cause glacial melting ... it's very difficult to melt off ice when it's white, plus polar regions get far far far less solar energy, and this is compared to tropical oceans ...

Do you suntan at McMurdo or Howard? ...

No, you're wrong. That difference is huge and can't be due to rounding off.
That's more than 6 inches in 100 years!

Where’s the water coming from?

Someone will drown with that 1/2 centimeter. That’s a statistic error. Hahaha

Voters haven't been fooled ... why they don't pay taxes ...

 

[Captain Caveman]

Where’s the water coming from?

Kitchens and bathrooms.

it’s actually how the ocean distributes heat that determines if the northern hemisphere is glaciating or not.

Sea Levels are rising? Is that why Obama bought 2 hoses on the beach??

 

[ReinyDays]

it’s actually how the ocean distributes heat that determines if the northern hemisphere is glaciating or not.

The ocean is only a small part of that transition ... the atmosphere moves far and away the larger portion of the energy ... how does the ocean melt ice caps or mountain glaciers? ... if not warming the air first ...
