Pardon me while I go set fire to a pile of old tires in the backyard.
Hey maybe they finally cancel Jersey Shore LOL!
Morner remarks that "prior to 5000-6000 BP, all sea level curves are dominated by a general rise in sea level in true glacial eustatic response to the melting of continental ice caps," but that "sea level records are now dominated by the irregular redistribution of water masses over the globe ... primarily driven by variations in ocean current intensity and in the atmospheric circulation system and maybe even in some deformation of the gravitational potential surface."
With respect to the last 150 years, Morner notes that "the mean eustatic rise in sea level for the period 1850-1930 was [o]n the order of 1.0-1.1 mm/year," but that "after 1930-40, this rise seems to have stopped (Pirazzoli et al., 1989; Morner, 1973, 2000)." This stasis, in his words, "lasted, at least, up to the mid-60s." Thereafter, with the advent of the TOPEX/POSEIDON mission, Morner notes that "the record can be divided into three parts: (1) 1993-1996 with a clear trend of stability, (2) 1997-1998 with a high-amplitude rise and fall recording the ENSO event of these years and (3) 1998-2000 with an irregular record of no clear tendency." Most important of all, in his words, "there is a total absence of any recent 'acceleration in sea level rise' as often claimed by IPCC and related groups."
What it means
Writing on behalf of the INQUA Commission on Sea Level Changes and Coastal Evolution, Morner says that "when we consider past records, recorded variability, causational processes involved and the last centuries' data, our best estimate of possible future sea level changes is +10 ± 10 cm in a century or, maybe, even +5 ± 15 cm." Hence, in his words, "we have to discard the model output of IPCC (2001) as untenable, not to say impossible (Morner, 1995; INQUA, 2000), and we cite the Gilgamesh Epos from about 5000 BP saying: Lay upon the sinner his sin. Lay upon the transgressioner his transgression." Or to put it more bluntly, as Morner does in the final sentence of his abstract, "there is no fear of any massive future flooding as claimed in most global warming scenarios."
I knew there HAD to be an upside to AGW!..................
Not even close. Not even IPCC says this. A plain flat out falsehood. No competent scientist believes either part of this sentence.
As long as Sacco Subs survives....
If "scientists" believ this, and not just "some scientists", then it must be settled "science". Fortunately for me, I live on the gulf of Mexico and the waters haven't been rising here for the 26 years I've lived here. Too bad about Jersey though.
No it won't, and the sky won't fall either.
WTH????
Bull $-it! It’s all about trying to get the UN to pay for and move people on small islands to larger higher locations. Sat. Altimetry 1993 to 2009 shows an average increase of 3.2 mm per year (at most)other sutdies show less. http://www.21stcenturysciencetech.com/Articles_2011/Winter-2010/Morner.pdf
They say this like it’s a bad thing.
Too bad they mean real estate not “reality” shows on MTV...
Clearly a subsidiary of Comedy Central.
Good. Worst show on TV EVER.
