So the sea is actually lowering relative to our land, which is rising because there's no longer a mile of ice on top of it.
And I don't know what it's like in California, although I doubt that you would have had a mile of ice.
But globally, sea levels have probably risen about 10 inches.
They're about 8 to 10 inches over the last 150 years.
So it's just simply nothing that you would be able to notice.
All of the worries from sea level rise comes from computer models.
These models that say as temperatures rise, you're going to see sea level just like sea water, just like everything else, expand.
And that will rise the sea level somewhere between one and three feet.
Again, I think your intuition is right.
This is a manageable problem.
I mean, we'd rather not have it, but it's not something that we haven't dealt with many, many other places already.
And, you know, Holland is probably the best example of that.
You can deal with this.
So Holland.
You know, 40% of the country is below sea level.
If you have ever flown into Amsterdam, it's the world's largest airport that's built on a site, previously a site for a naval battle.
But now, you know, you don't think about that you're what, what would that be, sort of 10 feet or something below sea level at the airport, because they've managed it.
And the total cost
Across the last 50 years, for all of this, there's about $10 billion.
So not nothing.
