Do you think the average CNN reader has a good grasp on the distinction of relative and eustatic sea levels? I considered it a pretty nuanced topic, I’m surprised CNN treats it as table stakes.

Yes, but it’s not the topic of the article though. The article is about relocation. It describes the general problem and why New Orleans is particularly vulnerable. It would be nice to mention sinking land explicitly, but the idea that there’s some ”agenda” behind why they aren’t mentioning it is ridiculous.
