Six inches does not sound like much, but when you're in a landscape like the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, that's a lot of sea level rise, i have worked alongside private land owners who have had family farms in the area for years and they are the first to tell you they are losing land.

Will the Congress just sit there with their feet getting ever wetter? What's next, forebulge denial? the beauty of the science I work with is that it is all quantified work. It's data. You don't have to believe it or not. You can look it up and the data tells you the story.
