There is a lot of nonsense here. Where did you get this number of "8 years"? The oceans have been rising because we are in an interglacial period. They will probably continue to rise for the next few centuries. Anthropogenic warming, about 1C for the global average surface temperature anomaly, has accelerated the rise in the last century and there is essentially nothing the US can do about this except for remediation in our coastal regions. The US impact on global carbon emissions is relatively minor at about 11%. You claim you know "the answer" so why don't you share it with us, particularly how you personally are solving what is a global problem? If your answer is to drive an electric golf cart then you clearly have never looked at the magnitude of global carbon emission and how they will continue for the foreseeable future.

Warmer air holds MORE MOISTURE. This is going to happen for the next 8 years, at least. The oceans will rise because a HUGE glacier broke off of Antarctica (look it up, please). Florida will be one of the most affected states, but no one wants to fix the problem because ONLY scientists (not ordinary citizens) believe that a problem exists. Anti-science is almost a new religion in the US.
