"Limits On Scientists’ NC Sea-Level Rise Study Could Be Loosened"

"North Carolina lawmakers’ efforts to limit scientists’ reporting on sea level rise became the butt of jokes back in 2012.

Now a decision from that time, the Coastal Resources Commission determination to have its science advisory panel present sea level rise forecasts looking only 30 years ahead, is being reconsidered.

Coastal Resources Commission put the 30-year limit on its science advisers after legislators and developers tore into its 2010 report estimating the ocean would rise 39 inches by 2100."
