Is this just normal beach erosion or is the sea level higher over the last three decades?

According to this guy in the article, the erosion is more likely to be caused by falling sea level that rising.

"We had an island, where there was heavy erosion, everything was falling into the sea, trees and so on. But if you looked at what happened: The sand which disappeared there, if the sea level had gone up, that sand would have been placed higher, on top of the previous land. But it is being placed below the previous beach. We can see the previous beach, and it is 20-30 cm above the current beach. So this is erosion because the sea level fell, not because the sea level rose. And it is more common that erosion is caused by falling sea level, than by rising sea level.

It does not sound intuitive until you think about it, but a falling level is more likely to carry sand away while a rising level would likely deposit more sand.

What gets me about this is how the IPCC is simply changing data to fit their computer models rather than changing the models to fit the data.

That is not just junk science --- that is fraud.

Thanx! One of these days I’m going to finish that science class.
