Dr. Roy Spencer, who has a Ph.D. in meteorology, writing in An Inconvenient Deception, states that compared to Al Gores warnings of a sea-level rise of 20 feet, the actual measurement is one inch per decade for over 150 years with no observed acceleration.
This could not be true if it were anthropogenic (human-caused), since there has been ample time for acceleration since 1940, which is the earliest that humanitys greenhouse gas emissions could have had any substantial effect. Sea-level rise is a process that is mostly natural since it predates the Industrial Revolution, Dr. Spencer explains.
This may be small comfort to the people living in Miami Beach, for example, where sea-level rise has been worse than the average. But a 2017 study reported that the land is sinking at a rate of 3 mm per yearequal to the sea-level risecausing a doubling of the effect and magnifying the rise of water at lunar high tides.
No one should deny climate change per se. It is a characteristic of the planet upon which we live.

What's happening in Miami is NOT sea levels rising because of global warming.
How do I know this? Because water is never higher on one side of a glass than the other side...
I live up-water a few hundred miles and our sea level HAS NOT risen.
(I read the explanation for Miami's problem some months back... very complex stuff. Shame on liberals for using Miami's unusual situation to push their lies...)
“The Vikings colonized portions of Greenland and were able to plant warm-weather crops such as potatoes.”
Yeah......No!
Potatoes are native to Peru and that didn’t get discovered for awhile and Amazon wasn’t around for ordering....so.
The Vikings did plant barley and other grains that allowed the colonization of Greenland. When the climate reverted to it’s former, and present, state of colder than a witch’s t%t the barley/grains failed and so did the Vikings colony.
3mm/year = 1/8-inch...
Be afraid, be very afraid...
Our betters will define the “correct” temperature and climate for us, and because they are our betters they can change their mind as often as they wish.
It is settled science!
Thanks fieldmarshaldj.
We can fix this!
Everyone. Drink more water.
Actually, it’s the Black Sea that was created by a flooding event through the Dardanelle Strait. It’s thought that this may be the origin of the Epic of Gilgamesh/Noah flood.
Actually, the flooding of the Mediterranean and the flooding of the Black Sea are separate events. You are correct on the black sea flooding being a possible origin of the Flood tales.
Flooding of the Mediterranean basin predated even oral history by 5 million years or so...
You are correct. I forgot about the Zanclean event. It’s been a while since I took geography lessons...
Me too! I thought it was a LOT more recent!
they did (starting around 1000AD) and then the ice age cycle came around again a few centuries later and the climate turned quite cold (also the grass didn’t grow for their cattle and for whatever reason the settlers didn’t take advantage of the fish filled seas)
Sea rise is just another part of the scam - Next time some idiot tells you Venice (O M G !) is flooding cuz of ‘global warming’, tell them Venice IS built onto a swampy lagoon and has been sinking for 1000 years (as long as people have lived there) AND its just they haven’t lately been doing new construction ATOP the sunken buildings as they once historically did (because no TOURI$T wants to pay to see modern buildings )
