And although it may have been a day's walk to the sea - the reason that it is not a day's walk now need not be due to sea level changes. There are many places where erosion is removing beaches at a significant rate while depositing similar amounts of sand and detritus in other areas. There are several places in South UK where old buildings used to be right up by the sea and are now a mile or so inland. Similarly on the Isle of Wight and the East Coast there are places that used to be a mile inland where the sea is eroding the coastline at an alarming rate (for householders seeing their houses drop into the waves) the same in stretches of California coastline.
So its not only sea level rise that can cause coasts to move inland.

The UK is also quite complicated Geologically.
Scotland is rising and the South of the UK is sinking as a response to the last Ice age (like a very slow seesaw)
Also parts of the UK where there are mountains are flowing away (just like Greece) as the earths crust is a non-newtonian fluid.
So measuring sea level around the UK is not a good idea.

In northern Sweden there is still a slow rise of land responding to the press down caused by the thick ice layer from the last glacial period. In south Sweden the change, if any, seems to be the other way round. It is for sure difficult to judge whether a coast line change is caused by rising sea level or or land sinking or rising. Could be something to keep in mind when the alarmists talk about inundation of the Maldives etc.

Did you think otherwise??

Did you think otherwise?? Matt I think you are perfectly correct - that is why the IPCC cherry picked chose the tide gauge in Hong Kong in an attempt to continue to show sea level rising. They understood perfectly well that it wasn't. www.infiniteunknown.net/2009/12/15/top-scientist-rise-of-sea-levels-is-the-greatest-lie-ever-told/

Did you think otherwise?? For this claim to be right, perfect and accurate you need at least few thousands years of GPS suported measurments on land and sea as well.

Did you think otherwise?? Without credible references I think the presumption should be yes we did think otherwise. All of us would probably benefit a lot from a bit more of the Missouri attitude. . . .Show Me!!
