Rising sea levels could lead to a mass migration and displacement similar to what we saw in Pakistan’s floods last year.
Admiral Mike Mullen – Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
According to Europe’s Envisat, It will take more than 1,000 years for sea level to rise one metre. Almost as big a threat as six year old blonde girls in pigtails carrying explosives to airports in their knickers.
The confusion lies in the fact that many people just don’t understand post-normal climate science. :*) To a post-normal climate scientist a deceleration of sea level rise is further evidence of CO2 driven CAGW.

Post-normal climate science requires that one pay no attention to emperical evidence and replace a fact based strategy with a faith based strategy that relies on predictions from Al Gore, James Hansen or Jean Dixon if she’s still alive. http://c3headlines.typepad.com/.a/6a010536b58035970c0134899901c4970c-pi
A satellite told you this? Or are you drawing a line through noisy data? What is your underlying model that validates such an extrapolation?
It’s not my plot – it is the raw plot from Aviso http://www.aviso.oceanobs.com/en/news/ocean-indicators/mean-sea-level/products-images/
Are you feeling a bit paranoid?
It is your statement about the applicability of a linear fit for 1000 years.
Ahh… so it makes more sense to claim that average rates will increase 50X this century – like Hansen does.
I think Dan’s objection is that it isn’t scary enough and that even though AVIS would draw linear trends through the data, you shouldn’t………. unless its really scary.
You never know with 6 year olds. There are many that carry dirty nuclear bombs!
Admiral Mullen should stick to his field of expertese, perversion in the military.
lol, indeed.
Wouldn’t rising sea levels be good for an Admiral? So much more sea to oversee …. more boats
