Will Tin-Foil Hatters Come To Reason Now That There Are Repots of the IPCC falsifying Sea Level Predictions?
Sea level expert Nils-Axel Morner tells EIR News Service that there is no trend toward rising sea levels. But he says the scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change added what he calls a "correction factor" in order to make the figures indicate that water levels are rising.
He says — "If you go around the globe, you find no rise anywhere. But they need the rise, because if there is no rise, there is no death threat. Sea level rise ... doesn't exist in observational data, only in computer modeling... Their idea is to attract money from the industrial countries. And they believe that if the story is not sustained, they will lose it."

Answer:
Setting aside your source is from fox news... I think you could have found a more credible source.
Media and propaganda can lead to public scares and false allegations (like asteroid impacts and gas shortages). However, my area has released yet another "air quality advisory” due to ozone and particulate matter. So my stance is this: yes the extent of the human impact on global warming is debatable and it may not have the huge impact some are predicting (then again maybe it will, I am not yet convinced), because there is an infinite number of variables to consider when modeling the Earth. However, lessening emissions, offering government subsidies, and decreasing reliance on a finite source of fuel will only promote better living conditions. I don’t want to suggest those who do not believe humans are impacting global temperatures are “'conspiracy theorists” but I do often doubt their motives. Looking for the easy way out that justifies a high consumer lifestyle is much easier then being part of a group that wants nothing more than to create a habitable environment for future generations.
The only thing that is dying is the gw theory.It was never very strong to begin with anyway.
Fox-News ... now there's an oxymoron.
Blah blah blah blah ... where's his data?
Sea level rise doesn't exist in observational data? Does this observational data not count?
"Measurements over the last 100 years shown in Figure 2 show a change of about 12 centimeters for 100 years, or about 1 to 2 millimeters per year. The two different data sets shown seem to agree reasonably well."

"Predictions of how much sea-levels would rise due to climate change, made by a key UN report in 2001, were conservative, say researchers on the eve of the release of the new update of the report.
Stefan Rahmstorf at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, and colleagues, compared the predictions made in the 2001 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change with the actual subsequent data. The factors they compared were temperature, sea-level rise and concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The researchers found that changes in CO2 concentrations between 1990 and 2005 followed the 2001 predictions of the computer models "almost exactly" (see graph, right). "

"In the last 100 years it has increased by 10-25 cm."

Need I continue?
you had me until i saw the source your link. i can't wait until the waters of the sea are lapping at the fox news studio's doors. i'm sure they'll 'report' it as a backed up toilet, fairly balanced.
more propaganda from those with agendas.
the only way some people can retain any type of power is to try and scare the crap out of people. especially some of the brain trust answering your question, actually they don't answer it, they just parrot everything they hear from their liberal propagandists. and sinced they opined, i shall; the pollution is concentrated in the big cities, i do not care! yet they want to impinge upon the freedoms of the entire country! guess what? i will never ride a bus or a subway.
The IPCC is backpedaling on sea rise. The current report predicts a 0.2-0.6m rise by the year 2100. 8 to 24 inches - you might not even notice the difference in between tides.
These alarmists never got the updated "talking points"...
