More dire predictions and non-facts from the Climate Change (aka Global Warming) Conspiracy theorists.
The “experts” said that because it was getting warmer that we would have less snow. For the past few years in the Northern hemisphere we have had more snow. Does this then mean that the climate is getting cooler? The sea level was suppose to rise at an accelerated rate because warming was melting glaciers. For the past few years the rate of sea level rise has gone down and there are some major glaciers that have stopped shrinking and begun to grow again. Does this mean it is getting cooler? The “unadjusted” records from rural ground based weather recording stations have been showing a cooling trend for several years.
The real evidence indicates that temperatures have peaked. We don’t need to geo-engineer or “hack” anything.

“Sea level” has been falling rapidly since the mid ‘70s.
That is why tyhe feds changed from reliable land based “Spirit Leveling” to measure the change, to sattelite data that is easily rigged.

I do not know that it has been “falling rapidly” but it is not as straight forward to measure as one would assume because land masses go up and down in relation to the sea for various reasons also. There are port cities all over the world that have been established for many hundreds of years which have not changed much in relation to the “sea level” in all of that time.
The oldest port city in this country is St. Augustine in Florida established in 1565. St. Augustine had been sinking relative to the sea level just like New Orleans. But it will still be hundreds of years before it is below sea level like New Orleans already is at the current rate. And as you say sea level rise appears to have peaked so they may not ever have to build a bunch of dikes and levies as New Orleans had to do.

I’ve just gotta save this for more careful reading and forwarding to a few AGW folks I know. ....Thanks
I had followed them as a land surveyor for decades, and assure you that the sea is receeding rapidly.
I trust you far more than the leftist activists who have managed to infiltrate the agencies that make the determinations and are suppose to maintain the records.
During the 1970s I had a geology teacher who surveyed and photographed the Carbon Glacier on nearby Mt. Rainier every summer with groups of students. Of course at that time the concern was global cooling and that our entire area would eventually be completely covered with ice 1\2 mile thick as it had been just 12,000 years previously.
The glacier had been advancing since the 1940s and we calculated how long it would take at the current rate for it to take out the bridge we drove across to get there which was miles downstream. Of course since that time there was cyclic warming and instead of continuing to advance as was predicted, the glacier receded. So in a newspaper article from a few years ago they were predicting how long it would take for the glaciers to disappear and saying the mountain felt like it was “collapsing” on itself because of global warming and that our area was warming 6 times faster than the rest of the world .
I tried to find public records at the time that would show that the glaciers had been advancing long after the industrial age had begun, but had only very limited success. It seemed that the records were not being made available to the public by the agencies maintaining them. Of course these days even though from aerial photographs the Carbon glacier appears to have started advancing again... the park service has not fixed the road that went to the trailhead near the glacier and it is an 18 mile round trip by foot to get to the glacier. I believe that Mt. bikes are prohibited in that area of the park and I am not sure that overnight camping is allowed near the glacier either, so what my science teacher did with us is probably not currently possible.I
We are mostly forced to accept whatever the activists currently running and “studying” the park tell us. These are people who have demonstrated clearly in the past that they have a bias and have no qualms about falsifying data if it supports their position.

Earth has been here only 7000 years, and the glaciers were the result of the very hot oceans that were the result of the break-up of the once single continent comonly known as Pangea.
That was the “flood” that floated Noah’s boat about 4500 years ago.
Hot oceans always produce ice and snow in our mountains, and Noah’s pond came from volcanic eruptions world wide, so the icing was massive at that time, resulting in the receeding of the ocean, and the building of great cities along the coasts, which were later covered as the glaciers began to melt.

James Neinhuis wrote an excellent book on this named “Ice Age Civilations.”
