How NASA Fraudsters Quadrupled Sea Level Rise

Posted on November 2, 2015 by Tony Heller

In 1982, NASA reported sea level rising 1.0 mm/year (less than 4 inches per century) from 1880 to 1980, and nearly flat after 1950. Their published graph showed less than 0.9 mm/year.

NASA has since increased 1880-1980 sea level rise rates by 60% to six inches per century.

The overlay below shows how NASA has altered their 1880-1980 tide gauge data over the past 30 years, and wiped out the post-1950 hiatus

But six inches per century isn’t very scary either, so they switched measurement systems and added on 0.3 mm/year for a completely fraudulent tampering, called the Global Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) – which has absolutely nothing to do with the measurement of sea surface height.

These are incredibly cynical fraudsters, who expect you to believe that sea level rise doubled coincident with them changing measurement systems. And to hide their malfeasance, they simply stopped showing tide gauge data after 1994 – which would wreck their claim.

Then they send this fully fraudulent data out to their useful idiot friends in the press, who are happy to parrot it.

Make no mistake about it, government climate change science is the biggest fraud in history.

    Could it be they believe what they do? Telling it is a fraud kinda misses the central theorem of bad science: never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence.

    I believe they are expecting to find large growing sea level rise because they expect accelerating OHC growth and glacier melt. You can easily measure it from a satellite provided you calibrate it to match your expectations. This is what they did. It’s just the expectations were wrong.

      So you think their hiding the tide gauge data after 1994 was accidental?

      Thanks for the laugh.

        Hell Steve they can’t even leave a tree alone if someone uses it to gauge sea level. I’m pretty sure you know what I’m referring to.

          RAH, link to your referring to – http://www.mitosyfraudes.org/Calen7/MornerEng.html

          Another way of looking at what is going on is the tide gauge. Tide gauging is very complicated, because it gives different answers for wherever you are in the world. But we have to rely on geology when we interpret it. So, for example, those people in the IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change], choose Hong Kong, which has six tide gauges, and they choose the record of one, which gives 2.3 mm per year rise of sea level. Every geologist knows that that is a subsiding area. It’s the compaction of sediment; it is the only record which you shouldn’t use. And if that figure is correct, then Holland would not be subsiding, it would be uplifting.

          And that is just ridiculous. Not even ignorance could be responsible for a thing like that. So tide gauges, you have to treat very, very carefully. Now, back to satellite altimetry, which shows the water, not just the coasts, but in the whole of the ocean. And you measure it by satellite. From 1992 to 2002, [the graph of the sea level] was a straight line, variability along a straight line, but absolutely no trend whatsoever. We could see those spikes: a very rapid rise, but then in half a year, they fall back again. But absolutely no trend, and to have a sea-level rise, you need a trend.

          Then, in 2003, the same data set, which in their [IPCC’s] publications, in their website, was a straight line—suddenly it changed, and showed a very strong line of uplift, 2.3 mm per year, the same as from the tide gauge. And that didn’t look so nice. It looked as though they had recorded something; but they hadn’t recorded anything. It was the original one which they had suddenly twisted up, because they entered a “correction factor,” which they took from the tide gauge. So it was not a measured thing, but a figure introduced from outside. I accused them of this at the Academy of Sciences in Moscow —I said you have introduced factors from outside; it’s not a measurement. It looks like it is measured from the satellite, but you don’t say what really happened. And they answered, that we had to do it, because otherwise we would not have gotten any trend!

          That is terrible! As a matter of fact, it is a falsification of the data set. Why? Because they know the answer. And there you come to the point: They “know” the answer; the rest of us, we are searching for the answer. Because we are field geologists; they are computer scientists. So all this talk that sea level is rising, this stems from the computer modeling, not from observations. The observations don’t find it!

          Thanks DD Moore.

          I was too tired to look for it. Shortly after that post ComCast decided I needed to be knocked off line and I just went to bed. So this morning my first task was to kickoff the power supply and then power back up so my cable modem reset.

          I only use ComCast for internet. We’re at the end of their line so whenever they start working on something along my road I have to go through that routine.

          DD More,
          Just to go with that: TEN STUDIES PROVING SEA LEVEL HAS NOT RISEN AFTER HOLOCENE OPTIMUM
          STUDY #1
          Mid to late Holocene sea-level reconstruction of Southeast Vietnam using beachrock and beach-ridge deposits
          The sea level was up to 1.5 meters higher than today in a tectonically stable area ~5000 years ago to 2000 years ago.

          STUDY #2
          Sea-level highstand recorded in Holocene shoreline deposits on Oahu, Hawaii
          This study shows a sea level highstand ~1.6 meter above the present level from ~5500 years ago to 2000 years ago.

          STUDY #3
          Late Quaternary highstand deposits of the southern Arabian Gulf: a record of sea-level and climate change
          This study shows a sea level highstand ~1 to 2 meters above the present level about ~5500 years ago.

          STUDY #4
          The Quaternary Geological History of the Santa Catarina Southeastern Region (Brazil)
          This study shows a sea level highstand ~ 4 meters above the present level about ~5000 years ago. With sea level oscillating since then. Not only has the sea levels have dropped since the Holocene Optimum the evidence shows that “warmer paleotemperatures were favourable for great proliferation of mollusks in the area”

          **************************************************************************
          This last study is quite interesting because it is the key study that hauls the entire graph shown by WIKI from a descending sea level to an increasing sea level and yet other papers show that area of Brazil is tectonically stable.

          This figure shows sea level rise since the end of the last glacial episode based on data from Fleming et al. 1998, Fleming 2000, & Milne et al. 2005. These papers collected data from various reports and adjusted them for subsequent vertical geologic motions, primarily those associated with post-glacial continental and hydroisostatic rebound. — WIKI

          Santa Catarina is the dark red cross above the pack on the right. Remove it and sea level is actually falling for the last 2,000 years.

          So what about that “…subsequent vertical geologic motions, primarily those associated with post-glacial continental and hydroisostatic rebound? “

          A NASA model of current surface elevation change due to post-glacial rebound and the reloading of sea basins with water. Canada, Northern Europe, and Antarctica are all currently rebounding at a rate of a few millimetres per year. More water in the oceans as a result of ice sheet melting is slowly depressing sea basins. Satellites are used to observe differences over time.

          Glacial Isostatic Adjustment
          ….For the past 5 000 years or more (the approximate time when the amount of ice on the planet reached its current geographic coverage), lands formerly underneath continental ice sheets having been rising back up at a rate of a few millimetres each year. Typical uplift rates are around 1 millimetre per year, and are slowing down at an exponential rate now that the glacial loads are long gone. The rates are not uniform, of course, depending upon how much ice was present. Around Hudson Bay, Canada, or the Gulf of Bothnia, for example, the uplift rate can be upward of 7 to 13 millimetres per year; an entire metre per century, and 300 metres total since the end of glaciation, resulting in thousands of square kilometres of new land. And the pivot point is rather abrupt; Scotland is still rising due to the rebound effect which is correspondingly sinking England 2 millimetres into the North Sea each year. In North America, the pivot point goes through the middle of the Great Lakes basin; the Canadian share of the lakes is shrinking, becoming 3 millimetres shallower every year, while the US side gets 1 millimetre deeper each year….

          Notice the pivot point in the UK is ~ 55° N and the great lakes ~ 45° N which is one of the reasons why Southeast Vietnam ~10°N, the southern Arabian Gulf, ~ 23°N, and Santa Catarina, Brazil, 27° S are tectonically stable areas.

          All four studies from around the globe (near the equator) show FALLING sea levels! WHERE does that ‘adjusted’ graph show that fall of 1 to 2 meters? Instead if you look closely the graph shows a ~1.5 meter RISE instead of a fall since 5000 years ago! That is an ‘Adjustment’ of 3 or more meters to data from tectonically stable areas. Lysenkoism at it’s finest.!

          This is what they probably are using for their ‘adjustments’

        Not accidental, but they thought the satellite data is better.

        Think how complicated a satellite measurement is. Think how much sea level rise is expected. It is no wonder you see what you expect to see. You wouldn’t, because you expect the contrary.

        Oh yes, of course some invididuals have been fraudulent, because of the good cause. Give them way to back, and they might back. If you don’t, they’ll fight.

      Hey wert! I think that most of the people who have been watching this subject of CAGW have in the past considered it to be simple error but not fraud. Still, if you watch long enough, you see enough repeated obviously wrong actions that you finally have no other reasonable explanation but fraud. It is the prolonged (decades long!) pattern which shows intent to deceive.

          wert, that is because you have not been paying attention to the politics as well as the science.

          The latest with NOAA/NASA resistance to disclosing the e-mails is because the e-mails contain evidence of wrong doing. We Americans learned just how crucial this type of correspondence is in the Watergate mess, the IRS mess, and the Hitlery as Sec of Sate mess. If a US president was forced to hand over private recording that implicated him then these GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES don’t have a leg to stand on. But they will stall and whinge until after December when Obama will sign away US sovereignty and make the USA a vassal state of the United Nations government paying ONE TRILLION A YEAR in tribute and the e-mails showing fraud no longer matters.

          ***********
          The Climategate e-mails show corruption to the point even Monbiot apologized and called for Phil Jones resignation. The Climategate e-mails also made it very clear that this was an international political issue and the corrupt scientists would be protected by the politicians and the MSM across the world. That point is the most scary in MHO because it means our politicians not only answer to someone else and not the voters, they answer to interests outside their own country!!!

          The above two are darn clear these are NOT honest scientists!

          Also at this point NOAA/NASA do not have a leg to stand on after the attacks on Willie Soon and other scientists. Tell me how in heck they can refuse to disclose GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES activities in the ‘Most Transparent Government EVAH!’ while demanding private citizens like Willie Soon disclose all?

          The Nuts and Bolts:

          Democrats call for information from seven climate testifiers’ universities Yes you read that correctly, Universities are getting called on by elected officials to disclose private info about University employees.

          ….The New York Times incited this climate-science street fight in a Sunday, 22 February, front-page article above the fold. Members of Congress widened it….

          By midweek, another New York Times article had summarized developments:

          In letters sent to seven universities on Tuesday, Representative Raúl M. Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat who is the ranking member of the House committee on natural resources, sent detailed requests to the academic employers of scientists who had testified before Congress about climate change.…

          From the Senator Ed Markey website:

          An example of one of the 100 letters sent is available HERE and a full list of recipients is included below….

          ?The three Senators ask for answers to be given by April 3, 2015….

          Markey, Boxer, Whitehouse Query Fossil Fuel Companies, Climate Denial Organizations on Science Funding
          Wednesday, February 25, 2015

          100 letters sent to unearth extent of climate denial-for-hire programs

          WASHINGTON (February 25, 2015) – Senators Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) today sent letters to 100 fossil fuel companies, trade groups, and other organizations to determine whether they are funding scientific studies designed to confuse the public and avoid taking action to cut carbon pollution, and whether the funded scientists fail to disclose the sources of their funding in scientific publications or in testimony to legislators.

          This investigation follows the revelations regarding one of the chief climate denial researchers, Wei-Hock “Willie” Soon, from documents released by Greenpeace showing that Soon received more than $1 million from ExxonMobil, Southern Company, and others to produce what he termed “deliverables” to push back on climate science or carbon-cutting policies in papers or Congressional testimony. Soon did not disclose this funding to peer-reviewed scientific journals that require such disclosure.

          The letters from Senators Markey, Boxer and Whitehouse ask the companies and other organizations about any funded research efforts related to climate change and the wide range of related issues over the last ten years. The letters also ask for the names of researchers….

          Corporate special interests shouldn’t secretly peddle the best junk science $ can buy #climate..

          The actual truth of the matter:

          …In late February, 2015, Dr. Wei-Hock “Willie” Soon was accused by a Greenpeace activist of failing to disclose conflicts of interest to an academic journal. The accusation was false, but it was repeated by liberal reporters….

          * Kert Davies, the source of the accusations, has been making similar attacks against Dr. Soon and other climate scientists since as long ago as 1997. He is not a credible source.

          * Grants supporting Dr. Soon’s work were vetted and submitted by the Smithsonian, not by Dr. Soon. Grant dollars went to the Smithsonian, which kept around 40 percent of the money for oversight and overhead.

          * The amount of industry support Dr. Soon received, variously reported as $1 million or $1.2 million, includes the Smithsonian Institution’s 40 percent share and was received over the course of ten years.

          * By agreement between donors and the Smithsonian, Dr. Soon wasn’t even aware of who some of the donors were, making a conflict of interest impossible.

          * Disclosure of funding sources is not a common requirement of academic journals in the physical sciences field. Most climate scientists – alarmist as well as skeptical – do not disclose their funding sources.

          Al Gore while Vice President point blank told Dr Happer he would either have to go along with the politics or be FIRED. “I was told that science was not going to intrude on policy,” Can it be made any clear than that?

          Award-winning Princeton University Physicist Dr. Will Happer, who has published over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers, warned Congress that it has been “badly misinformed” about man-made global warming fears.

          “Congress has been getting bad intelligence,” Happer, who was reportedly fired by former Vice President Al Gore in 1993 for failing to adhere to Gore’s scientific views, declared in a July 6, 2009 interview.

          ….“I had the privilege of being fired by Al Gore, since I refused to go along with his alarmism. I did not need the job that badly,” Happer said…

          Happer, who served as the Director of Energy Research at the Department of Energy in 1993, says he was fired by Gore in 1993 for not going along with Gore’s scientific views on ozone and climate issues. “I was told that science was not going to intrude on policy,” Happer explained in 1993….

          Dr Jaworowski who testified before Congress was treated the same.

          …Dr. Jaworowski has devoted much of his professional life to the study of the composition of the atmosphere, as part of his work to understand the consequences of radioactive fallout from nuclear-weapons testing and nuclear reactor accidents. After taking numerous ice samples over the course of a dozen field trips to glaciers in six continents, and studying how contaminants travel through ice over time, he came to realize how fraught with error ice-core samples were in reconstructing the atmosphere….

          Because of the high importance of this realization, in 1994 Dr. Jaworowski, together with a team from the Norwegian Institute for Energy Technics, proposed a research project on the reliability of trace-gas determinations in the polar ice. The prospective sponsors of the research refused to fund it, claiming the research would be “immoral” if it served to undermine the foundations of climate research.

          The refusal did not come as a surprise. Several years earlier, in a peer-reviewed article published by the Norwegian Polar Institute, Dr. Jaworowski criticized the methods by which CO2 levels were ascertained from ice cores, and cast doubt on the global-warming hypothesis. The institute’s director, while agreeing to publish his article, also warned Dr. Jaworowski that “this is not the way one gets research projects.” Once published, the institute came under fire, especially since the report soon sold out and was reprinted. Said one prominent critic, “this paper puts the Norsk Polarinstitutt in disrepute.” Although none of the critics faulted Dr. Jaworowski’s science, the institute nevertheless fired him to maintain its access to funding.….

          wert says: “I don’t believe in big conspiracy, sorry. …”

          >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

          It is not a big conspiracy it is POLITICS as usual pure and simple.

          “The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.” — H.L. Mencken, 1918

          In one hundred years nothing has changed just the hobgoblin du jour. I am sure that when CAGW collapses under the weight of evidence a new hobgoblin will pop up and we will again have to play Wack-a-Mole. Personally I am getting darn sick and tired of the endless series of imaginary hobgoblins.

          That is why it is the young and dumb but ardent ‘Activists’ that are captured and funneled in to the tightly controlled NGOs. It controls the dangerous lose cannons and harnesses their energy for the propaganda purposes of their puppet masters.

          Maurice Strong’s early work with YMCA international “…may have been the genesis of Strong’s realization that NGOs (non-government organizations) provide an excellent way to use NGOs to couple the money from philanthropists and business with the objectives of government.”

          “Very few of even the larger international NGOs are operationally democratic, in the sense that members elect officers or direct policy on particular issues,…. Arguably it is more often money than membership that determines influence, and money more often represents the support of centralized elites, such as major foundations, than of the grass roots.” ~ Hofstra University law professor Peter Spiro

          wert, it helps to pay attention to the politics of climate change. You may not enjoy it but you can’t escape it. We don’t need to discuss the definition of “conspiracy”. Listen to what they say about it themselves. It has little to do with academic misbehavior like tenure fights, editorial bias or pal review.

          Here is one of the scientists defining the purpose and the ends:

          Climate policy redistributes the world’s wealth

          Climate policy has almost nothing to do anymore with environmental protection, says economist Ottmar Edenhofer. The next world climate summit in Cancún is actually an economic summit about the distribution of the world’s resources.

          Interview: Bernhard Pötter
          Neue Zürcher Zeitung
          14 November, 2010

          The original interview in German can be found here:
          http://www.nzz.ch/klimapolitik-verteilt-das-weltvermoegen-neu-1.8373227

          Herr Doktor Edenhofer is not just another economist. He is the co-chair of the IPCC Working Group III “Mitigation of Climate Change“ and the WGIII Technical Support Unit (TSU). He was part of the core writing team of the IPCC Synthesis Report of the Fifth Assessment Report in 2014.

          The science journal Nature calls Edenhofer The Climate Chairman.

          Do you think this is about academia and little nasty things these guys do to each other in the faculty lounges? You may ponder this remark by Professor Glenn Reynolds:

          ”If people keep choosing means that seem unsuited to their ends, consider that you might not understand their ends.”

    The Gornitz et. al. 1982 study is too underpowered, demonstrably of poor design, and statistically flawed to make any conclusion. Having read that study, I concluded it is total statistical nonsense. It’s in as big of a mess as the NASA 2014 dataset. The PSMSL 2010 dataset is in complete disagreement with the NASA 2014 claims. It shows 1.39 mm/y SLR trend from 1980 to 2010 when using proper statistical methods.

    You would think climatologists would spend some of their grant money and hire a mathematician to do the math.

          Hank they certainly don’t seem to have the best math skills.
          CRU’s Dr. Phil Jones, world renowned climatologist, can’t even plot a trend in Excel

          There is Dr Evans: Error 1: Partial Derivatives.

          The basic model relies heavily on partial derivatives. A partial derivative is the ratio of the changes in two variables, when everything apart from those two variables is held constant. But in climate everything depends on everything, so it is not possible to hold everything constant except for only two variables, as required for a partial derivative to exist. Partial derivatives of dependent variables are not empirically verifiable, so employing them in climate models incurs unknown approximations. A model architecture with less reliance on partial derivatives would be more reliable.

          Doug Keenan on BEST and Krigging

          …A statistical model should be plausible on both statistical and scientific grounds. Statistical grounds typically involve comparing the model with other plausible models or comparing the observed values with the corresponding values that are predicted from the model. Discussion of scientific grounds is largely omitted from texts in statistics (because the texts are instructing in statistics), but it is nonetheless crucial that a model be scientifically plausible. If statistical and scientific grounds for a model are not given in an analysis and are not clear from the context, then inferences drawn from the model should be regarded as unfounded.…

          To summarize, most research on global warming relies on a statistical model that should not be used. This invalidates much of the analysis done on global warming.
          http://www.informath.org/apprise/a5700.htm

          William Briggs

          Doug Keenan was asked by The Economist to have a gander at the statistics developed by the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) project. He did so. We must resist extensive quotation….

          Muller says that there “are certainly statisticians who vigorously oppose this approach, but there have been top statisticians who support it.”

          Vigorously oppose it I do. The reasons are laid out by Keenan and by me in the links Keenan provides. Except to agree with Keenan’s critiques—and they are many and fundamental….

          Kriging (a standard practice which comes with its own set of standard critiques with which I assume the reader is familiar) is used to model non-observed spatial locations. Its correlation function is a fourth-order polynomial of distance (eq. 14). A fourth-order, yes. Smells like some significant hunting took place to discover this strange creature. Its average fit to a mass of blue dots (Fig. 2) appears well enough. But stop to consider those dots. The uncertainty around the fit is huge. Update: correction: I meant to write exponential of a fourth-order polynomial. The rest of the criticism stands.

          This is important because the authors used a fixed correlation function with plug-in estimates. They say (p. 12) that “further refinements of the correlation function are likely to be a topic of future research.” The problem is that their over-certain estimate will cause the certainty in the final model results to be overstated. No Bayesian techniques were harmed during the creation of this model, but it would have better if they had been…
          http://wmbriggs.com/post/4530/

          Merck is even more scathing about Krigging:
          https://web.archive.org/web/20141111203721/http://geostatscam.com/sampling_paradox.htm

          Me? I have just enough math to say HMMMmmm that smells funny. Especially when a data point hundreds of miles away are used for an estimate and then an error of 0.1C or an increase in temperature of 0.026C is declared.

          I do not find krigging ‘scientifically plausible’ for two reasons.
          #1. The jets have switch from zonal to meridional meaning two temperatures at the same latitude could be very very different even though spatially close together. Both would be accurate but one would be used to either estimate or adjust the other with no valid reason.

          #2. Frank Lansner’s analysis uses coastal stations plus non-coastal stations divided further into Ocean Air Affected stations and Ocean Air Shelter stations. That gives you at least three statistically different types of data —-OOPS. There went your ‘statistically valid’ out the window.

          Frank tears apart BEST based on this and the fact they cherry pick: The Original Temperatures Project

        You’re right. Hansen 1983 gets a nearly identical result to Gornitz. Hansen uses a different selection criteria but makes the same correction to remove the long term (6,000 year) coastal change from the trend (seems a precursor to GIA).

        Aside from your analysis of the difference between NASA 1982 and 2014/2015, there’s some other tomfoolery going on with NASA’s presentation. Not showing a longer historical perspective hides something we’re not supposed to notice – cycles of increases and decreases of trend. NASA narrows the scope to ~20 years in their interactive graph as that’s when the next positive phase of the cycle begins. Truncation of the tide gauge graph after 1994 hides the very low trend of the mid 1990s – an inconvenient thing to have to explain.

    And 60 cm by 2050 comes to 17 mm/yr and 124 cm by 2080 comes to 21 mm/yr The current rate according to satellites is 3.3 mm/yr and is slowing down rather than speeding up. The the people at NASA ever run the numbers?
