>>Does this mean I should sell short on Gore’s carbon offset credit stocks?<<

Yes.

But just because Gore is trying to exagerate and exploit this doesn’t change reality.

Since the Reagan administration we’ve had agencies studying the rise in sea level. Over the next century, if the current trend continues this can become a problem for low lying coastal areas.

Contrary to what Gore would suggest the sea level rise will be a few feet not tens of feet. But its worth watching and studying.

One thing about “current trends” they NEVER continue...LOL

The level of oceans has been studied a lot longer than that.

http://www.john-daly.com/ has photos of "The 1841 sea level benchmark (centre) on the `Isle of the Dead', Tasmania.". This mark suggests that sea levels haven't changed noticably in the last 166 years. And yes, they have factored out any tectonic plate moves that might have shifted the mark upwards.

At most, sea level would rise about a meter: over a 1000 year period.

Irrelevent compared to the natural up & down movement of the LAND that is being measured: for example, areas near Houston dropped 4 feet when water was pumped out.

LA is subsiding into the Gulf, but north areas are still “rebounding” (rising several feet) because the galcier melted 12,000 years ago.

What trend? The guys who actually study sea levels for a living can't find a trend.
