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????

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?

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.

DAY of SUPPORT....FLY your flags (US, a British one, Hungarian, Australian and Japanese one, too if you have them)....and put up your BUSH/CHENEY signs, (and the BIG W's on your SUV's) for the STATE of the UNION next Tuesday, Jan 28th, if you support the President, our MILITARY and the United States of America. PSST....pass it on.

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..

Maybe Australia is sinking.
