 The NOAA Climate Change. What a biased source.
The elevation of Denver is still 5,280 feet above sea level.

Didn't you read what rinselberg posted? It is now 5,279 feet and 3 inches above sea level.

According to Wikipedia, Sunnyvale, CA is only 125 feet above sea level.
Rinselberg, I hope you don't live on the first floor.

That's from the end of the previous page of this forum topic or thread...a list of bullet points about sea level rise from the NOAA.
This is a view of the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens at 3251 S Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33129. It's right on the Atlantic Coast, south and west of Miami's downtown district. This view is from the inland side of the museum building.
This is the entrance to the museum. It must be on the seaward side of the building. Imagine where the Atlantic Ocean "kisses" the edge of the land in front of the museum. That would be behind you. Judging from Google Maps, I would say that if you stood at the first step to walk up the outdoors stairs to enter the museum, you would be at least 50 feet inland. Maybe 100 feet.
This is what the entrance would be like in year 2100, factoring in this NOAA scenario of 7 feet of Sea Level Rise, compared to today.
I don't see whether that is the projected High Tide, Low Tide or Mean Tide, but I think that's somewhat academic—a moot point—if you are trying to visualize the general impact of 7 feet of Sea Level Rise on the coastline of the contiguous United States.
Seems like if you wanted to walk up the outdoor steps to enter the Vizcaya Museum building in year 2100, you'd best put on a pair of wading boots.

"What some people look like at night, knowing that they will never die in their sleep from Climate Change."
They also look pretty much like that during the day, except that they are upright or seated in a chair or on some other furnishing or object—instead of lying in bed.[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 12-08-2023).]

- In 2022, global average sea level set a new record high—101.2 mm (4 inches) above 1993 levels.
- The rate of global sea level rise is accelerating: it has more than doubled from 0.06 inches (1.4 millimeters) per year throughout most of the twentieth century to 0.14 inches (3.6 millimeters) per year from 2006–2015.
- In many locations along the U.S. coastline, the rate of local sea level rise is greater than the global average due to land processes like erosion, oil and groundwater pumping, and subsidence.
- High-tide flooding is now 300% to more than 900% more frequent than it was 50 years ago.
- If we are able to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, U.S. sea level in 2100 is projected to be around 0.6 meters (2 feet) higher on average than it was in 2000.
- On a pathway with high greenhouse gas emissions and rapid ice sheet collapse, models project that average sea level rise for the contiguous United States could be 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) by 2100 and 3.9 meters (13 feet) by 2150.

And yet the Obamas and the other elites continue to buy oceanfront property - both on the east and west coasts.
They must not be convinced. Either.

That's very much a contrivance, not an explanation.
I could say that Obama has more confidence that Climate Mitigation measures like phasing out the use of fossil fuels will happen fast enough to make a difference.
I could say that Obama or some other liberal or progressive "man of means" has brought oceanfront property, but it's set back farther from shore, or it's protected by a steeper coastline, so that it is not as vulnerable to sea level rise as the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens, in Miami, that I've singled out. That would likely be factual, depending on where their newly or recently acquired oceanfront property is located.
I could say that Obama or someone like that is comfortable with the idea that their oceanfront property will not be ruined by Sea Level Rise before they've had a chance to enjoy it, and they are not that concerned about property depreciation as the next two or three decades go by. They are not thinking that far ahead.
Any of these statements are more reasonable than what Raydar just said.
