Tide gauges show that sea level has been rising an average of about 0.7 mm per year and the rate has been declining, but NASA’s top expert tells us that the average for the century will be 50 mm per year.
This makes perfect sense if you have the IQ of a turnip and/or your job depends on scaring people into giving up their money and freedom.
We could just as easily have a 5 meter fall.
But why be stingy with out predictions when a 33 meter rise, or fall, is just as likely. 😉
A sea port at Boulder, CO is just around the next “Tipping Point”!
This is a gratuitous slur on a valuable food source.
I read the other day (no link, my BS meter was in the red zone) that “coastlines are disappearing along the eastern seaboard (of the US)”. Is the Obamacarer aware that maps will have to be redrawn to show where these coastlines are missing? Will the cost of building sand rocket? What about the effect on tourism? Will the EPA declare sea-water a pollutant? The world waits with bated breath.
The only way the “Coastlines” could disappear is if the oceans disappeared.
I do not think that is a possibility.
Coast lines can and do move all the time.
Reblogged this on Gds44's Blog.
You got to admit it’s impressive how he decides there is no sea level rise for the next 30 years then something mysterious happens, and it all goes to hell and we suddenly drown. This is what happens when you teach someone how to plot curves using Excel… 😉
Although I did enjoy this comment at the bottom of the article:
“Nice summary…but c’mon, ‘only more data is likely to resolve the situation’? Who the f&*% cares about some decade-hence scientific consensus on one aspect of the already-unfolding apocalypse? We are committing full-on planetary ecocide as I type this.”
Apparently the planet is already dying around him. Or he is smoking really good weed and is watching re-runs of The Walking Dead again.
Does Hansen know what a ‘mm’ is? Perhaps on his planet there are a thousand ‘mm’ to the inch.
