Can anyone tell me: are global water levels net rising, but locally the retreat of these glaciers are exposing new coastlines, rather than submerging them?

Using 30 year loans as a benchmark is silly. 30 year loans exist because the government buys the paper. They aren't common in any country that doesn't do that (which isn't many). For example in Canada people usually get 5 years and then have to requalify.
