“There is no question that the time to prepare for sea level rise is now… We will definitely see 7 feet of sea level rise — the only question is when,” Josh Willis, a scientist at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told FoxNews.com.
“Our best estimates of sea level rise in the next 100 years are 3 to 4 feet, but we can’t completely rule out 6 or 7 feet. Such a rise would devastate coastal communities that are unprepared,” Willis said.

The highest IPCC estimate is less than half of that, and the highest measured rates are less than a third of what he is claiming. Who is he speaking for? Him and the mouse in his pocket?

As far as Fox News claim that the seas are surging – that is complete unmitigated nonsense. The west coast of the US has seen no sea level rise for 30 years. Where do these people come up with this crap?

After studying sea levels and temperatures for years,my best estimate is a sea level drop of one to two feet.However,I can’t rule out a drop of 5 to 6 feet.That would be catastrophic to the value of al gore’s beach front property.
That is my best estimate for 2051
Willis said “our best estimate” as if he was speaking for “the consensus”
So I’m not one of the 97 percent?I’m gutted.PMSL
Why did they rule out 4 to 6 feet?

Why is the Jet Propulsion Laboratory talking about sea level ?!?!
Time to cut NASA’s funding.
They do sea level rise models between Muslim outreach programs.
RPS had multiple discussions with Josh Willis on his blog going back to 2007. I used to email Dr. Pielke questioning Willis’ motives. Once I saw a video of a presentation he gave, all thoughts of him being a level headed objective scientist went out the window. He is not much different than Trenberth/Santer/Schmidt/Oppenheimer and the rest of the AGW alarmists.
Isn’t Josh Willis in charge of the ARGO network? There goes another dataset.

NASA’s former chief climate commissar Jim Hansen certainly left more than his carbon footprint at space land!

Their own latest report says 1-2mm per year…I believe that to be about 4″ per century, but I am no scientists, I studied philosophy.

From the folks at Colorado University, Sereeze and co.:
“The global mean sea level (GMSL) we estimate is an average over the oceans (limited by the satellite inclination to ± 66 degrees latitude), and it cannot be used to predict relative sea level changes along the coasts.”

If it has no predictive value, then why are we listening to them?
