More spectacular fraud and data tampering from the sea level people at the University of Colorado.
Last year they showed that large areas of the Pacific were experiencing 3 mm/year declines in sea level since 1993.
They have since erased this, and painted their map red. The only way this could have happened, is if sea level rose 63 mm (21 years * 3 mm/year) this year.
The side by side view is most impressive
In 2004, they showed 2.8 mm/year sea level rise
They have since inflated that to 3.3 mm/year
The next image overlays the two graphs. Note that they have altered their trend outside their own reported error of 0.4 mm/yr
But the University of Colorado fraud is much worse than it seems. They are reporting almost twice as much sea level rise as NOAA
absolute global sea level rise is believed to be 1.7-1.8 millimeters/year.
Like with all other claims from climate alarmists, the increase in sea level rise rates after 1993 is completely fraudulent. It simply didn’t happen.
It seems to me that sooner or later their bubble will have to burst and they will have to answer for it. BTW, what person would be the main driver of this fraud at U of C?
Don’t know. There are so many climate fraudsters here in Boulder, it is hard to keep track of them all.

What is ‘Jason’ ?
Jason-1 and 2 were satellites that measured sea level. Topex is another one. They used to include data from the Envisat satellite, but it didn’t show enough sea level rise and was excluded
Thank you.
Here’s another way of looking at it:

That graph is getting to be over a year old now, I should re-do it.
Satellite measurement U of Colorado (mm/yr):
Global: 1992-2003 3.23 2004-Feb 2015 2.71
Pacific: ” ” 3.23 ” ” 2.34
Atlantic: ” ” 3.51 ” ” 2.12
Two days ago I found this data on line showing the decreased rate of SLR & I retyped it as shown for a comment. Today I cannot find the citation or link. I’m almost positive I found it on Freinds of Science.
Here’s a presentation by Dr. R. Steve Nerem
“Why has an acceleration of sea level rise not
been observed during the altimeter era?”
R. Steven Nerem (University of Colorado)
Here’s the link:
http://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/OSTST/2011/oral/02_Thursday/Splinter%203%20SCI/04%20Nerem%20ostst_2011_nerem.pdf
Scroll to the last page where you find that the acceleration rate of sea level rise is negative at minus -0.06 mm/yr² And currently it’s still negative.
It’s rather easy to determine that there’s been a good deal of inflating the rate of sea level rise by CU Sea Level Research Group scientists. Simply put the URL of their home page

Changes have been made to the data resulting in an increase in the rate of reported sea level rise by nearly a millimeter per year.
And as I posted before, it looks like this:

“Changes have been made to the data resulting in an increase in the rate of reported sea level rise by nearly a millimeter per year”
And still, an ABSOLUTELY SCARY 3.2mm per year is best they can concoct !! WOW.!
3.2mm per year… no wonder they are panicking 😉
They’ve bumped it up to 3.3 mm/yr in their latest opus. I need to re-do that chart which is a year old now.
That 2015 sea level rise map is TOTALLY BOGUS !!!
Sydney area is pained dark red, yet has a rise of 0.65mm/year.
Like everything else sea level is ‘Adjusted’
