From one of the links given....
''..Climate change is slowly raising the level of the sea. Water expands with heat, so warmer temperatures are causing our oceans to expand....''
Basic science and our own experience with putting things in the freezer, tells us that water expands with COLD not with heat, that is why ice floats.
This does not give me confidence with other statements in this report
