Despite the many uncertainties, we may conclude that the relative rate of rise and the relative acceleration of the Pacific sea levels are negligible, and very far from the model predictions of the IPCC AR5 Chapter 13 that assume a present rate of rise absolute of 3.4 mm yr−1 and require an acceleration of +0.1268 mm yr−2 to support their claims for 2050 and 2100.

Another hole in an aspect of Leftist dogma.

All you have to do is check the NOAA tide maps. It tells you right there was the annual rise in sea level is. If you do the calculations for this “3 foot rise” that now is starting to be assumed everywhere as “settled science,” you will see it will take something like 1600 years to get that rise.

"PACIFIC SEA LEVELS RISING VERY SLOWLY AND NOT ACCELERATING."

So, we can't count on getting rid caliphonyia any time soon.... Too bad.. :(

Next false alarm?
Operators are standing by!

Duuuuh. If the atmosphere were hot enough to melt ice, it would also be hot enough to evaporate a lot of water from the oceans.

[Hot Tabasco]

Since the Atlantic and Pacific oceans are connected and water seeks its own level, shouldn't the Atlantic ocean have risen also?

I'm confused...

I’m reading a book by a guy who travelled to every country in the world. It is full of PC & global warming pablum. He was convinced that Tuvalu will disappear and the islanders will all be abandoned & have no place for exile, due to Evil Whitey’s global warming.
Instead, studies have shown the islands are actually INCREASING in size. Oops.

In parts of Alaska the land is rising where glaciers have been receding for hundreds of years.
It's called isostatic or post-glacial rebound.

I read this to my wife (who’s a genius, IQ 130+) and she immediately said, “Oh that’s within the margin of measurement error.”

I was a 6 sigma black belt for 10 years and I know she’s right. That’s also true of the temperature measurements.

A NOAA dataset that allows one to view many sea level trends and their variations over 50 year increments. US and international. The data is there for anyone to see. Minimal changes. Maximum BS

I would be very interested to know what global coastal desalination plants would do to offset whatever increase in total ocean water that is anticipated.

I know it sounds crazy, at first glance, but just in the US alone we used something like 20-30 trillion gallons of water/year. If some of that, not just from the US, but around the globe, could come from desalination, and the wastewater was routed such that it wound up in the groundwater, it might have a significant effect restoring groundwater, using up some of the additional ocean water that is predicted, and overall improving quality of life. Haven't done any serious research on this, and am just throwing it out there.

Shhhh don’t confuse them with facts

[dadfly]

good post. thx.

I have been saying this for years.

Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud

Sea levels began to rise 18k years ago at the end of the last glacial period. They have risen about 135 meters since then which is an average of 7.5 millimeters per year. That is an average of 750 mm per century (29.5 inches) which is far more than the average over the last century.

From 1880 to 2000 sea level rose about 20 cm or just under 8 inches. Far less than the nearly 30 inches per century average over the last 18,000 years.

The most recent data from NASA shows a decline in sea level.

Inconvenient: NASA shows global sea level…pausing, instead of rising

[NohSpinZone]

The information makes sense but what university is this? I looked up the URL and it says it belongs to a acupuncture and oriental medicine school?

[Chode]

i thought sea level was measured on some rock in the UK...

[Cobra64]

I opened the article and sent it to a dozen Global-Warming-Moonbats. 👍

[zeugma]

Sea levels have been rising continuously since the end of the last ice age. This is nothing new.It is also not something to get freaked out about, because there is not a damned thing that can be done about it short of a new ice age, which we do NOT want. You can’t grow wheat on top of a mile of ice.

Sea level rise chart for Honolulu, Hawaii from NOAA.

“The relative sea level trend is 1.49 millimeters/year with a 95% confidence
interval of +/- 0.21 mm/yr based on monthly mean sea level data from
1905 to 2018 which is equivalent to a change of 0.49 feet in 100 years.”

The official hysteria, now embodied in our laws, is that sea level is going to rise three feet by 2060.
