yes that's true... sea level rise has fluctuated through-out history... but now all of a sudden North Carolina politicians can outlaw sea-level rise by passing a law and therefore sell more real estate on the coastline... that's the absurdity that i was originally pointing out when 'dullness' decided to go off on his gibberish-filled tangents

Interesting, and I'm not doubting you on that but how would you explain the setting of Ostia (where I've actually been). It was built about 2500 years ago and hasn't been touched for many, many years. There is simply no way the sea level could have been 92 feet lower than today.(and the Mediterranean is directly connected to the Atlantic, of course) Venice is another example, the foundation (street) level was established a little over 1000 years ago and has changed much less than one storey, not 37 feet.
There may be anomalies here and there but the general claim does not ring true to me.
