est coast sea level -- will it catch up with the rest of the globe?
"Global sea level rose during the 20th century at a rate of about two millimeters (.08 inches) per year. That rate increased by 50% during the 1990s to a global rate of three millimeters (.12 inches) per year, an uptick frequently linked to global warming. Meanwhile, sea level along the U.S. west coast did not experience the same amount of rise as that seen globally." via Will sea-level begin rising more rapidly along U.S. west coast? | Earth | EarthSky.
