All scientifically based predictions of sea-level rise will come true. It's just a question of when. Today there's a second wave of stories about a SLR study that was published last year, predicting a "very likely rise between 0.5 and 1.9 metres by 2100." There's even coverage in the Daily Mail:

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University have predicted that global sea levels could rise by a staggering 6.2 feet (1.9 metres) by 2100 if ...

Five ways to cut emissions from shipping
Shipping produces roughly the same amount of emissions as aviation, yet it is often overlooked. It’s time for change.
 4. Cruise ships usually "run their power-hungry systems during port calls. Such emissions not only contribute to climate change, but also to local air pollution." #climatechange #climatecrisis #ship #ocean #environment #environmentaljustice image
OK, this is 250 years out of date, but here's a snapshot of the Revolutionary War breaking out here in Boston in 1775, particularly looking at why the British navy couldn't do much about it.
