I like how the argument against the bill in the comments involves the whole 'when their buildings get swallowed by the ocean they won't be so quick to dismiss global warming'. Because you know it'll happen so quickly that things will be swallowed and yet only using historical data from after 1900 is unreasonable because the changes aren't linear and it isn't occuring at a fast enough rate for it to be well documented from just the 1900's onwards.
Loki, you seem to be treating it as if in 2099 the Ocean is suddenly going to increase by 30-something inches, after negligent growth before that. Nearly all studies indicate that the ocean is covering more land, and due to global warming and the melting of polar ice, it is going to continue in a non-linear pace. It is going to speed up.
