Pace of rise in global sea level has doubled -UN climate report

GENEVA (Reuters) - Global sea levels are rising at more than double the pace they did in the first decade of measurements in 1993-2002 and touched a new record high last year, the World Meteorological Organization said on Friday.

Extreme glacier melt and record ocean heat levels - which cause water to expand - contributed to an average rise in sea levels of 4.62mm a year between 2013-2022, the U.N. agency said in a major report detailing the havoc of climate change. That is about double the pace of the first decade on record, 1993-2002, leading to a total increase of over 10 cm since the early 1990s.

Rising sea levels threaten some coastal cities and the very existence of low-lying states such as the island of Tuvalu - which plans to build a digital version of itself in case it is submerged.

"This report shows that, once again, greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere continue to reach record levels – contributing to warming of the land and ocean, melting of ice sheets and glaciers, rising sea levels, and warming and acidifying of oceans," WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said in a foreword.

Yup. Unfiltered horseshit.
Tides at my favorite boat ramp are no higher now than 40 years ago when I started using it.

Michelle Obama just bragged how happy she is that they do not live in the White House, but in a beachfront house.

Look guys, 3% of 0.04% of a gas is causing ice to melt, not the actual mantle heating 70% of the earth's surface.

“Well, 2x0=”
Well, we must use “non white” math, which allows that equation to have any answer that they desire.

Yet, the Plymouth Rock still gets washed by the high tides just like it did when Columbus landed.

Hmmm? No mention of where and how the sea level measurements were taken.

The stupid article went so far as to say that the average temperature of the earth has risen 1.5 degrees C compared with pre-industrial levels. Good grief! Never mind where and how all those averages were obtained from the 1750s.

ROTFL! Okay, who’s the wise guy that gave the third worlders at the UN a yardstick to take with them when they go to the beach?

True:

“Yet, the Plymouth Rock still gets washed by the high tides ...”

False:

“...just like it did when Columbus landed.”

When Plymouth Rock was discovered in 1620 Columbus was dead. It’s impossible to correlate the two.

THAT being said, I agree with you that this climate BS is merde!

So, from 2013 to 2022 the sea level rise 32mm? That just over an inch. Maybe inch and a quarter. Geez...

Where I live is 180 miles inland from the coast, at about 500 feet ASL; so, I guess I only have a certain amount of time before I drown and my house is swept away...

Oh, dread! Whatever hall I do!? Send money to Al Gore?

Will Al save us all!?
