Let me add a factoid. Often the other side will tell you
that sea level is accelerating, you know, it's rising faster
and faster every year. And then they run the home page for
Colorado University's Sea Level Research Group as proof
with this graph:
And if you follow the link CU gives you for the data, you
can plot it out for yourself in Excel, but if you use a
polynomial trend line instead of the linear trend supplied
it looks like this:
As you can see, sea level is not accelerating. In fact
there's a little bit of deceleration going on. The other
side doesn't want to talk about that very much.
Thanks! those are good graphs to have too. The top one shows a 50mm rise over two decades. 50mm = 1.97”. Round off and that’s only 1” per decade. Well below the actual rise and wayyy below the average for the inter-glacial period we are in. They cheated themselves! LOL
