At least one regular reader takes issue with this matter, but the Diva finds the scientific evidence compelling.

Coastal resilience:Accelerating sea level rise requires collaborative response

Recent estimates suggest that global mean sea level rise could exceed two meters by 2100. The projections pose a challenge for scientists and policymakers alike, requiring far-reaching decisions about coastal policies to be made based on rapidly evolving projections with large, persistent uncertainties. Policymakers and scientists must thus act quickly and collaboratively to help coastal areas better prepare for rising sea levels globally, say climate change experts.
