I don't know much about sea level changes. I live about 250 miles from

 I live at around 3000', so no problem. However 13,000 years ago the whole
area was the bottom of a lake whose shoreline was at 4200'. Things change.

I'm closer to 1500', with rolling drumlins left behind by glaciers and it's similar here. I've been told since childhood that our area used to be under an "inland sea." There are tons of fossils of sea life around, shellfish, trilobites, and the like, but I couldn't say for sure they weren't imported by those glaciers from somewhere else.

One thing, anyway. If the climatologists are correct, then humans are to be congratulated. Through global cooperation and diligent effort, we have successfully staved off the Ice Age that was predicted in the 1970s to be headed our way.

Cooling is what we should all fear. Warming, if anything, has always been correlated with civilizational advance and prosperity.
