Because at the moment sea levels are only rising at a rate of 3.4 mm/year. However, this rate is accelerating.

From a Study be Robinson and Soon: You can see the chart they are referring to by finding the study called %26quot;Environmental Effects of Increased Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide%26quot;
Global sea level measured by surface gauges be tween 1807 and 2002 (24) and by satellite between 1993 and 2006 (25). satellite measurements are shown in gray and agree with tide gauge measurements. The over all trend is an in crease of 7 inches per century. Intermediate trends are 9, 0, 12, 0, and 12 inches per century, respectively. This trend lags the temperature increase, so it predates the increase in hydrocarbon use even more than is shown. It is unaffected by the very large increase in hydrocarbon use.
In other words the rate of increase of sea levels has been the same before 1950 and the increase use of c02, and after. What we are seeing is a natural increase in sea levels due to the fact we are coming out of a small ice age. -
why do you say that
In one town in southern Portugal called Quarteira ,they say the sea is eating the village .
The 17th hole of the Dona Philipa Hotel near Almancil in the Algarve has fallen in to the sea
And Roman villas can be found one mile out on the bottom of the sea.
the sea has been rising for some time now
And some low lying arable lands in Biafra and other places are flooding,the rising is very slowly
