Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat

You don't need someone to explain things to you. You can go to the NOAA website and look at the data yourself.

The sea level trend in Miami hasn't changed since measurements started around 1930, and is at about the global average rate of 8" per century, as I described in my previous post. Sea level has been rising since the start of measurements, which go back before 1900 at other places, and probably since the end of the "little ice age" which bottomed out in the 1700s. So yeah, living in a place with continuous sea level rise without ever compensating for it will eventually result in flooding. But there has been no increase in the rate because of CO2.

EDIT: Here's Mayport, which I think is the closest tide gauge to St. Augustine.
