Yup...proof that we're still coming out of the last Ice Age.

160 years @ 1mm per year = 160 mm. That's about 5/8ths of an inch. You mean to tell me that they are all worked up about 5/8ths of an inch????

"160 mm. That's about 5/8ths of an inch. You mean to tell me that they are all worked up about 5/8ths of an inch????"You may wish to re-visit your calculator: That's a little over 6 1/4 inches. Still not a large amount, but looks like you slipped a decimal. (1" = 25.4 mm)

160 years @ 1mm per year = 160 mm. That's about 5/8ths of an inch???? No that is about 6 1/4 inches.
Then again 13,000 years ago you could walk from Siberia to Alaska.

Proof? I dunno...
This is really bothersome. There is no mention here of John Daley, the gentleman who brought the benchmark at the Isle of the Dead to light. That these people have failed to include him AND come out with results collinear with the IPCC, smacks of a fix. I'd need to see the details.

How come they never consider the possibility that Australia is sinking?

"There is no mention here of John Daley, the gentleman who brought the benchmark at the Isle of the Dead to light." Weren't his marks measuring the re-bound (earth rise) from the weight being released by the ice melt?

In 1837, a rudimentary tide gauge was made by the amateur meteorologist, Thomas Lempriere and probably installed in the nearby Port Arthur settlement.In 1841 Lempriere cut a benchmark, in the form of a broad arrow, on a vertical rock face on the Isle of the Dead, which was used as a cemetery for the Port Arthur complex.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. How could a "rudimentary tide gauge" be trusted to make minute measurements on a moving body of water at the sea shore?
How could they possibly compare the data to today?
Not that I'd be surprised if the sea were rising...it's just that this data isn't the least bit reliable.

Which is a particularly telling possibility if the harbor is built any type of river out let (i.e. the sediments deposited are continually settling, its why the Med is prograding onto the Nile delta 20-40 feet a year, due to the sediment being cut off by Aswan dam.)

I'm sorry - misplaced decimal: you're correct, of course.

I would think that the margin for error of the old data would be greater than the reported change in tide levels, given the rudimentary method of measurement and the admitted lack of training or experience of the person who made the heasurements..

>>How come they never consider the possibility that Australia is sinking?<<
It must be too obvious for the "scientists". It is all fault of Europeans coming to Australia. Too many of them, too heavy and making the poor Australia to sink.
Looks like possibility of continents still working on their move is underestimated. Like if volcanoes spew out lava (move material from underneath to the top) wouldn't that make the continents sink a bit (besides tectonic plates movement)?
We have another "crisis" on our hands, vote dummycRATS, they will fix it! Run Al, run!

Maybe Australia is sinking.

Obviously, I have my wires crossed. I was thinking of something entirely different.
