NASA Analysis Shows Irreversible Sea Level Rise for Pacific Islands. In the next 30 years, Pacific Island nations such as Tuvalu, Kiribati, and Fiji will experience at least 8 inches (15 centimeters) of sea level rise, according to an analysis by NASA’s sea level change science team.

If it’s 8” there, isn’t it the same everywhere else?
I thought 20 years ago the Maldives were supposed to be inundated…sea level prediction is hard.
Due to differences in the gravitational field, sea level rise is not uniform.
Ocean currents and various other factors also make a difference.
