This is why I am a skeptic on global warming. If more than 1/3 of ice has already melted, and Miami is not underwater, then the earth is just going through another cycle. Oh, it's supposed to be -20 at the North Pole.
Umm, Miami Beach floods at high tide now. It's gotten increasingly bad over the past 10 years. Living under a rock?

South LA and it's disappearing land mass would suggest otherwise. Again, this is due to global warming (the earth warms naturally, no one denies that). The question is whether or not humans have a significant impact on the degree and haste with which it occurs.

Miami Beach flooding? Called erosion, subsidence due to building on top of unstable earth.
.
If you build on sea shores, swamps and alluvial areas you can expect them to sink and flood.
Human intervention causes this.

And? What is unique about Miami Beach? All areas should see the same rise in levels, don't you agree?

ETA: I Googled and found no actual data showing this to be true. I found differing explanations such as rain storms and land sinking. The only information concerning actual ocean level rise was predictions with the normal reference to data that is produced from models and then tweaked after that.
