Flutterby™! : sea-level rise

Fascinating: Nature Climate Change: Hotspot of accelerated sea-level rise on the Atlantic coast of North America.

Climate warming does not force sea-level rise (SLR) at the same rate everywhere. Rather, there are spatial variations of SLR superimposed on a global average rise. These variations are forced by dynamic processes, arising from circulation and variations in temperature and/or salinity, and by static equilibrium processes, arising from mass redistributions changing gravity and the Earth’s rotation and shape.

So, for the moment, the west coast is actually seeing a sea level decline...
