Global sea levels have not continued to rise at the rates predicted by many scientists — and there is no evidence that climate change has contributed to any such acceleration, a new first-of-its-kind study has claimed.
The research found that the average sea level rise in 2020 was only around 1.5mm per year, or 6 inches per century, according to the paper’s authors, Dutch engineering consultant Hessel Voortman and independent researcher Rob de Vos.
“This is significantly lower than the 3 to 4 mm/year often reported by climate scientists in scientific literature and the media,” Voortman told independent journalist Michael Shellenberger.
Voortman was shocked that no researcher before had performed an analysis of real-world local data...

Great Lakes water levels are circa 4 inches lower this summer compared to the last 10 years.
5&1/2 years...
If ocean rise is fully established and accepted, why isn’t the government moving NYC, lock-stock-and-barrel, 10 miles inland?
They have probably analyzed the data, but when they found out it wouldn't support their grant applications, they declined to reveal what they found.
Facts don’t matter. It’s a religion.
The beaches I visited 60+ years ago are the same today. Just sayin’. 🏄🌊🏖️
If the data shows less warming, then a new confounding factor is added like aerosols to explain the lack of warming.
If the data warms too much for the model to match past data then the data is "adjusted" or another confounding factor like CFC or natural gas emissions is added.
Reminds me of epicycles: despite the fact that more and more epicycles had to be added to match observation, making the mathematics of the heliocentric hypothesis eventually less complex than the geocentric, the geocentric assumption could not be questioned. It took Galileo's observation of Jupiter's moons to finally make the truth evident.

Exactly right. That’s why this will be censored.
Lake Michigan is almost a yard lower than a few years ago.
“They have probably analyzed the data, but when they found out it wouldn’t support their grant applications, they declined to reveal what they found.”
Whatever happened to the scientific method?
Sea level rising. If you don’t know, there is a legally recognized pathway in England called the Broomway. It’s been in use for 700 years or so. It is quite dangerous because twice a day it is completely covered by seawater. Lots of people have drowned. For some reason the sea level isn’t rising in that part of the world.

the scientific method was thrown out in favor of the gov grant method
Maybe the rising sea level theory was actually based on Gilligan moving the Professor’s measuring stick.
Uh oh…. There’s a hole in the dyke!
Scientists have already shown in the past before many drank the GW koolaid that sea levels rise and fall over time.
We are in an interglacial cycle so there may be some more to go before we start cooling and a glacial cycle starts up again. There is no ‘normal’ sea level. Sea levels can rise and fall hundreds of feet over time.
Bfl
They'll look you right in the face and tell you the levels are falling because they're rising.
I had a family member that was convinced that sea level rise was a particularly acute problem IN FLORIDA ONLY.
Archemedes would be rolling...
The only thing that continues to rise is the B.S. about the climate and weather.
The upper mid-west used to be covered by an ocean. Now it isn't.
