Check out the increase in tidal flooding on the US east coast: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/09/04/science/globa...



Edit: Actually it's already 30cm from global warming. That is something. Sorry that I forgot that: https://climate.nasa.gov/system/charts/12_seaLevel_left.gif

Old: ok so 10cm global sea rise + 15cm tide fluctuation, which might well reverse.

I can't believe some cities are built so close to the water when storm surges and natural tide fluctuation over decades is over 50 cm (20'') as seen in Alaska etc. ^^ This statement still holds somewhat.
