The above is not from fact but a statement of opinion with no factual basis. The fact is that the oceans are rising per measurement. 8 to 9 inches over the last 140 years, 4 inches of that in the last 30 years. And a reported current rate of .15 inches per year. Estimates say it could rise 10-12 inches by 2050, far from the statement above.
I have included the source of the above numbers.
Tracking 30 Years of Sea Level Rise
Incidentally, the statement that most of Florida coastline will be underwater is nonsensical. By definition coastline is the boundary between where land meets water. The coastline may move, but it will still be there.
