Regarding your sea-level rise story , I know this goes against the current narrative but don’t you think it deserves to be included? Facts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: The relative sea level trend (for Santa Barbara) is 1.07 mm/year with a 95 percent confidence interval of +/- 1.11 mm/year based on monthly mean sea level data from 1973 to 2017 which is equivalent to a change of 0.35 feet ( about 4 inches) in 100 years.

Editor's Note: The city's report is based on information in the State of California's Sea Level Rise Guidance 2018 update , which includes the most recent data on ocean thermal expansion, melting mountain glaciers and ice caps, and ice loss in Greenland and Antarctica.
