My all-time favorite climate change fraud is the one that goes:

Global warming is causing the sea level to rise on North America’s east coast.

Nowhere else. Doesn’t take much knowledge of basic physics to know that water seeks its own level and sea level is the same over the entire planet give or take due to minor gravitational and tidal variations.

But sea level rising on ONE side of a continent, and not on the opposing side of Africa, Europe, England, South America?

Plate tectonics. It’s a thing. And it’s still ongoing, unlike “anthropogenic global warming” which is contrived and as disproven as President Obeyme’s social security number.

* Global warming is causing the sea level to rise on North America’s east coast. *

In modern Government Science that is absolutely true!

Not in the old fashioned, outdated Science of the past that held to the antiquated notion of truth, facts, and the horse and buggy idea of the recently rubbished Scientific Method.

The East Coast steadily moves left which causes the sea level to rise. The West Coast is also moving left, which pushes the sea water across the Pacific and is drowning Asia.

And they can’t even get that right.

A better (non-scientific) explanation to me is that the East Coast is SINKING due to a localized obesity epidemic!

All the “fat cats” live there and it is a “scientific fact” that the US is getting fatter! The “scientific” press tells us so on a regular basis.

Look at a population density map!

FWIW, “sea level” is a constant all over, but land masses rise and fall as the mass of ice, e.g. in melting glaciers, over the land decreases and decreases. This is why sea level changes with respect to land may be different at different places in the world.

Here's the Wikipedia page on ocean surface topography

If needed you can find additional info on the internet.

The wiki page mentions the satellites used/using to study ocean topography: TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason 1, and Jason 2. But very recently the Jason 3 was launched.

We have a big fleet of satellites that stare at the earth and a second fleet that stares at the sun. Plus, numerous other nations have sats. The GOP is trying to cut funding/shut them down and is definitely trying to block the launch of the IceSat 2 in 2017.

The satellite that makes many mad is the Orbiting Carbon Observatory.
