Nice analysis in post 70.

However, you still bent to the will of the parrot flock a little.

You make a good case for the sea levels not rising at all, but what you do not say is that your case also allows for a rise of even bigger than 7 inches over the last century.

If the 13 year sun cycle is almost over and it is true that the sun has been making just a little more heat and will go back to normal soon, then all the global temps will start falling slightly within the next ten years.

I will be laughing at the warming freaks all day long.

There is not a chance in the world that the sea level will go up 3' in 100 years. One thing they forget to say is more heat means more water vapor, more water vaper means more clouds. Clouds reflect heat back into space so the plaint will cool.

They just make this stuff up.

"your case also allows for a rise of even bigger than 7 inches over the last century."

Actually, my argument is that "sea level" is an amorphous construct at the scale in question, that even if we had perfect information we would disagree about what number to attach to the rise, but that for several reasons the coast of California is a particularly bad place to consider a bellwether of sea levels. Better (mid-ocean) places give us much less rise, or even a fall, in sea level.

I think you've got it backward. The parrots are the ones who blindly accept and push the human-caused global warming theory, since that is the majority opinion. Most of the people here at Free Republic have done their own research and have either discarded the human-caused global warming theory or are waiting for convincing scientific evidence. The beauty of Free Republic and why I come here so often is that there are so few Koolaid drinkers.
