Original Note:
Relative sea levels have risen in this period, by roughly one foot. But the Statue of Liberty is over 300 feet tall; the difference could not be seen in these photos even if they were taken at equivalent points in the tide cycle. The comparison is inherently misleading. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-statue-of-liberty-sea-level/fact-check-statue-of-liberty-photos-do-not-prove-sea-level-rise-is-insignificant-idUSL1N2RV1SK
