Abstract

The paper by Peterson and Li (Environ Earth Sci, doi:10.1007/s12665-014-3498-9, 2014) assumes sea level rise induced by global warming is real, and sea levels may rise by 2100 m, and they go on to derive ecological conclusions from this. We show here that sea levels are rising slowly, both worldwide and in North Carolina, based on real tide gauge data. This is unlikely to lead to any ecological catastrophes in North Carolina.
