A few months ago I wrote Part 1 of Historic variations in sea levels-from the Holocene to the Romans. It is here
A much more comprehensive version is here.

It is clear that there are considerable variations in levels which may coincide roughly with warm/cool periods. We are currently around 20cm or more BELOW the levels that occurred during the Roman optimum. There are a couple of useful graphs in the article towards the end that show this. As our current temperatures are somewhat below that period it seems unlikely we will reach it (unless temperatures continue to rise strongly) although there is the considerable wild card of the pumping of water from underground sources which may affect levels in a manner that hasnt happened in previous sea level changes

The press releases from organisations wedded to the AGW gravy train become more sensational over time. The money must be good, because they seem to have no idea how ridiculous they appear to thinking members of the community.
Yes the money in CAGW science is VERY good right now even the WUWT trolls dont argue with that.
My climate projection for 2012? Expect to see a rapid increase in the frequency and hysterical tone of climate science press releases (like this one) as we approach the U.S. elections in November.
