One of the best sea level presentations I have ever seen. Punches wholes in all the the warmist fear mongering.


TOPICS: Education; History; Science
KEYWORDS: climate; climatechange; globalwarming; globalwarminghoax; science; sealevel; soon; williesoon
Dr. Soon is one of the best.

In 2004 Colorado University said the rate of sea level rise from 1992 - 2004 was 2.6 mm/yr.

In 2013 Colorado University says the rate of sea level rise from 1992 - 2004 is 3.5 mm/yr

I don’t know if Dr. Soon covered that on in his presentation or not.

Anyway, CU regularly bumps of the rate with each release of their graph.

$$$ Quote from a comedian: If sea level rises by 4" per 100 years, and you aren't smart enough to move back, you deserve to die...

Many thanks for linking to this. The presentation is excellent. I already thought that 3-4mm pa was no big deal, but 0.8mm pa is minuscule and as Dr. Soon indicates it presents a major measurement challenge.

If you listen to Dr. Soon's presentation, pretty much any satelite data from space measuring such small changes as mm/yr on earth are worthless due problems with calibration methodolgies (see minute 41:00 for this conclusion). His summary value is 1 mm/yr based on review of tide data.

Can understand that. MM from space is a bit ridiculous. The graph in the article I linked shows a drop over 11 cm from norm.

The question that came to my mind when he compared the different satellite measurements over the oceans and their obvious disparity, were those same disparate satellite readings occurring over terra firma?

Bell weather islands in the Pacific exist that are a few inches above sea level.

Years ago when all this madness started environmentalists warned these islands would be the first to ‘go under’ when oceans started to rise. Fifteen years ago they quit talking about the islands because NOTHING had happened to them.

The nut cases still carry on about Tuvalu.

Seems Tuvaluis is still with us ... I wonder if they were paid for the ‘defeat’....

http://www.tuvaluislands.com/news/farewell_tuvalu.htm

From the 2001 link:

The authorities in Tuvalu have publicly conceded defeat to the sea rising around them. Appeals have gone out to the governments of New Zealand and Australia to help in the full-scale evacuation of Tuvalu’s population. After an apparent rebuff from Australia, the first group of evacuees is due to leave for New Zealand next year.
