To add context: The British period for Malta is 1814 - 1964. Most sources agree these things were made about 100 - 150 years ago, but the exact date is unsure.
This is a graph of the sea rise in the past 140 years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise#/media/File:1880-_Global_average_sea_level_rise_(SLR)_-_annually.svg
Local sea rise due to global warming is around 30cm, local tides are also around 30cm.
Another issue is that chucklefucks like Jones think that sea level rise is the most pressing problem when it comes to climate change and not things we're seeing now like much more frequent intense storms, massive wildfires and a spike in heat exhaustion deaths.
You have to be a special kind of dipshit to live in Texas all your life and not notice the hurricanes are getting worse. And Alex Jones is a special kind of dipshit.
