Was at Huntington Beach last week, sea level was the same as it was 55 years ago. I'f sea level was rising in the Bahamas it would also rise around the world.

Signs of Sea Level Rise in the Bahamas or merely lack of it, whereas article bravery pretends the otherwise:

“Given the rapid rate of change, we expected to see recession of the coastlines,” said University of Miami geologist Sam Purkis, coauthor of a study in Sedimentary Geology that detailed changes on Andros Island. “But the shoreline was actually quite stable. As sea level continues to rise,” he said, “people should understand that shorelines might stay in place in some areas, while inland marshes might expand and hollow out islands from the inside.” See also:

Mysterious ocean "whiting events" seen from space leave scientists stumped There's more depth behind Bahamas story than just a stationary ocean levels.. The expanding area of coastal carbonate mudflats on Bahamas would indicate increased rate of carbon dioxide capture with oceans too. When global temperature increases, the carbon dioxide uptake of oceans (in form of aragonite) will increase too, thus compensating increase carbon dioxide levels without any geoengineering, pretty well naturally.

Mystery solved: Why seashells’ mineral forms differently in seawater Century-old riddle about aragonite formation is unraveled by scientists’ atomistic simulation. The MIT team’s analysis shows that the ratio of calcium to magnesium in the water affects the surface energy of the nucleating crystals; when that ratio passes a specific value, it tips the balance from forming calcite to forming aragonite.
