Assumption based on one persons recollections in one area is certainly not a great way to judge a complex theory based on actual measurements over longer periods and across a vast geography.

Sea level rise can never be equal. Lands rise and sink. Shapes of coastline vary enormously. Nothing is static. However when science looks at all the evidence and says that seas may rise by X amount, it is not based on the particular records of one tiny bit of coastline in the USA or Australia. Nor for that matter Kiribati that is sinking. The folk in North Carolina my be correct but that doesn't say anything about AGW. However, given the opinion of a collection of scientists over a consortium of developers, I would be more that cautious about buying a seaside villa in North Carolina.
