As has been previously pointed out, this happened over centuries - we are accelerating the process.

Re: Climate Change - sea level rises.
I thought the Climate Change crowd are saying that temperatures are going to rise? If it does cool down that will reverse the thermal expansion component of predicted sea level rises.

Just have a read up on the impacts of fresh water in the North Atlantic and it'll tell you everything you need to know. I'm surprised you didn't give us any links or quotes

Devon island went from greenery to thick ice over a period of 9,000 years. That's a very big change which must have happened in shorter stages. Broken up into periods of a few centuries at a time is still large natural changes. Split the 9,000 years into just 30 chunks of 3 centuries, and you still have a large change over each 300 years.
Just because that found a plant that is 9,000 years old, doesn't meant that was when all plant life ended on the island. It might've happened just 3,000 years ago.

The Devon Island thing was in a TV documentary episode of "Arctic Secrets".
How have past predictions of sea level changes gone? Any of them remotely correct?
"Thermal expansion" is where sea levels rise because of warming of the seas cause the water to expand. If the seas cool down, that thermal expansion will obviously reverse.

No need to be too concerned about the warming, then! We'll have to start burning more fossil fuels to warm the planet up again...

The Maldives were meant to be under water by now, weren't they?

I don't think that you can use the Maldives to try to back up some peoples dismissal of rising sea levels.
They have always been under threat.
There's is very comprehensive 2021 article by The Earth Observatory (nasa can hardly be described as Climate crisis idiots) and you will see what is happening in the Maldives to try to ensure their survival.
Quote:
snippet ..With more than 80 percent of its 1,190 coral islands standing less than 1 meter above sea level, the Maldives has the lowest terrain of any country in the world. This makes the archipelago in the Indian Ocean particularly vulnerable to sea level rise.
|
Quote:
snippet ...While the Maldives government has explored plans to purchase land on higher ground in other countries as an insurance policy against sea level rise, planners are also working to enhance the resilience of the country’s current islands. One example is Hulhumalé, a newly constructed artificial island northeast of the capital, Malé.

Re: Climate Change - sea level rises.
Today's news has confirmed that we are now seeing the effects of our past actions on the planet:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/scie...nment-58142632
I am surprised that it has started happening so quickly though.

Re: Climate Change - sea level rises.
Glaciers have been melting for thousands of years, not just the last few hundred.

To observe a Holocene environment, simply look around you! The Holocene is the name given to the last 11,700 years* of the Earth's history — the time since the end of the last major glacial epoch, or "ice age." Since then, there have been small-scale climate shifts — notably the "Little Ice Age" between about 1200 and 1700 A.D. — but in general, the Holocene has been a relatively warm period in between ice ages.

It’s the rapidity of the change, not the change itself, that is the issue.

Recent changes to Lake Hazen, the world’s largest high-Arctic lake, are from increased heat flow from the area’s known geological features, and not from global warming as per the many alarmist media reports.
vidence supporting this is abundant and reliable.Northeast Canada’s Lake Hazen lies adjacent to the world-class Greenland/Iceland mantle plume (Figure 2).
Mantle plumes are narrow streams of deep inner earth sourced hot rock that spread like a ‘mushroom’ cap beneath the Earth’s surface.
They act to significantly warm overlying rocks, warm and chemically alter overlying oceans, and melt overlying ice masses.
Research by the University of Kansas has confirmed the results of three previous studies all indicating that geothermal heat flow from the Greenland/Iceland mantle plume is the dominant and likely sole cause of anomalous Greenland ice sheet melting. (see here, here, here, and here).
The ground-warming and ice-melting power of this geological feature are estimated to cover 720,000 square miles extending from the northern edge of Ellesmere Island to the eastern shore of Iceland.

Other subglacial lakes in Greenland and Antarctica contain fresh water, generated by melting at the base of the ice. Geothermal heat rises from the underlying rock, and is insulated by the thick ice sheet above.
The Canadian ice sheet is not thick enough to provide this insulation
