Steven,
Children just wont know what subsidence is…

Global modeling of glacial isostasy (3) gives a rate of subsidence of approximately 1.3 mm/y. Direct GPS measurements indicate an even higher rate of subsidence of the regional proglacial forebulge (2). Finally, local tide gauge records have a 20th century rate of sea level rise of close to 4 mm/y (2), or approximately 2 mm/y higher than the global mean rate of sea level rise. To summarize, all these alternative estimates point to a substantially greater rate of subsidence than the 1 mm/y geologic estimate.
Claiming you can predict dramatic sea level rise by reference to a computer model you’ve just made up is usually called the “semi-empirical” approach – at least in the junk science sea level rise papers I’ve read.
It has been proven that it is impossible to write bad software.
Bad software? I didn’t know there was such a thing…

The puff piece on Earth magazine is riddled with errors and misstatements from top to bottom.
The title sets the stage: “Denying Sea Level Rise”. The fact is that no one in NC is denying SLR. The issue is whether there will be linear or accelerated SLR — but that is not what the title says.
I filed a complaint with the magazine’s editors. We’ll see what they do.
I’m astounded the warmists themselves presented that graph . How the hell do you extrapolate an exponential out of the short piece of noise they sketch . A linear extrapolation sucks about all the information there is out of it .
Congratulations to John Droz for being largely responsible for this success .
I think more people should write letters to the offending publications.
Remind them that debasing their integrity by publishing half truths and misleading nonsense will eventually have a cost.
