NPR: This small Virginia island could be underwater before the next century
https://www.npr.org/2025/09/22/nx-s1-5420738/tangier-island-climate-change-threat
Since 1850, the island has lost two-thirds of its landmass to erosion and sea level rise. On average, the island sits just three feet above sea level. Meanwhile, water levels in the Bay are rising by at least a quarter of an inch each year.
(0.25 X 175 yrs = 43.75 inches)—Really?
Climate change is worsening the erosion of the island, contributing to both higher sea levels and more damaging storms.

Global average sea level has risen 8–9 inches (21–24 centimeters) since 1880 NOT 44-inches!

The major change at Tangier Island, and much of the US east coast, is Not ocean rise BUT land subsidence, ie: land sinking caused by Plate Tectonics’.

The ‘Scientific’ American - Not Very Scientific ….. September 30, 2017
The ‘Scientific’ American media entity presents a distorted and dishonest view of a very sad situation for those Virginian’s living on Tangier Island.
What causes an entity that incorporates into its name both America and Scientific to be so deceitful? Or is it earth-science ignorance?
