NOAA Climate Criminals Can’t Cover Their Tracks Fast Enough

NOAA’s climate criminals claim sea level is rising almost twice as fast as their sea level people do.

2015-11-05-08-55-02

NOAA’s climate people claim that sea level is rising 3.2 mm/year. Their sea level people say it is just over half that.

2015-11-05-08-57-48

the absolute global sea level rise is believed to be 1.7-1.8 millimeters/year.

Sea Level Trends – Global Regional Trends

As I reported earlier, NOAA made the sea level page above disappear yesterday. But it won’t do them any good, because it is on the web archive and because anyone can look at their actual sea level data.

NOAA has 240 tide gauges globally, and 86% of them show less sea level rise than the claimed average of 3.2 mm/year. The average of all of the NOAA tide gauges is 1.14 mm/year, just over one third of the NOAA climate claims.

Make no mistake about it, NOAA’s climate people are engaged in fraud.

    Steven, I’m guessing you used a bookmark. If you go to the website and click on the Historic Data selection, you get this message:

    ErrorCO-OPS is currently operating in offline (non-database) mode. Only the last 72 hours of observations for real-time stations are available at this time. No station information or historic data are available. CO-OPS will return to normal operations as soon as possible, and regrets any inconvenience this outage may cause. For more information, please contact our user services group at CO-OPS User Services.

    Please see our real-time active currents stations.

    You should learn to ask for help before going off on a tangent.

    • That has nothing to do with this topic. Their site is up, they removed the page showing 1.7 mm/year. Your endless FUD is sickening.

      • Martin Smith says:

        Dear Steven,

        I have sent a query to NOAA on your behalf.

        Your friend,

        Martin

        • AndyG55 says:

          roflmao..

          You really are a queerie !!

        • AndyG55 says:

          What did you ask them…

          did you ask them why and who is paying them to fabricate a warming trend..

          did you ask them for some actually proof that CO2 causes warming.?

          or did you ask them if they could send you some more brain-washing kool-aide. !

        • Martin Smith says:

          Andy, I asked NOAA where I can find the data and why isn’t it where it was earlier. Then I looked around a bit and discovered the database is offline, and NOAA apparently knows about it and is working on getting it back online. Apparently neither Steven nor you thought to be proactive and ask NOAA. Now, it’s the weekend, so we probably won’t get an answer for a few days, but NOAA has acknowledged receipt of my query.

        • AndyG55 says:

          Yawn..

          Funny how often they go off-line when a page with “inconvenient” data is linked to. 😉

          But the data is there on the internet.. it takes a very big effort to erase it completely.

          Now.. do you have something actually worthwhile to say ?

        • Martin Smith says:

          Andy, I have refuted Steven’s claim of fraud by showing that the database is offline. I don’t have to say anymore until Steven admits his error. He has also made a second, more egregious error, which you appear to have been fooled by. He is using tide gauge data that doesn’t have the vertical land movement taken out. He is using this data to compare to the global average sea level, which is computed from data where the vertical land movement has been taken out. The two datasets aren’t comparable unless and until the vertical land movement is removed.

        • AndyG55 says:

          Wow !!!!!! Martin got an auto-reply !!

          Must be serious !!

          roflmao !!!

        • AndyG55 says:

          “I don’t have to say anymore ”

          Good.. because you are a waste of time and space. !!

        • AndyG55 says:

          Martin, the stable land sea level data shows an almost constant rate of less than 2mm/year.

          NO acceleration.

          NO CO2 warming signature.

          Get used to it. 🙂

        • Martin Smith says:

          You’re wrong, Andy. I have explained why.

        • AndyG55 says:

          You are wrong.

          The REAL tide data proves that to be the case, no matter what fabrications NOAA wants to add to it.

          Again…..Why are you so scared of 3.2mm/year ??????

          (especially when you know the real value is probably about half that)

        • Martin Smith says:

          Andy, the real value is 3.2 mm/year.

        • AndyG55 says:

          No, the real value is well less than 2mm/year.

          The 3.2mm/year is a NOAA fabrication, just like GISS, GHCN etc etc

        • Martin Smith says:

          Andy, have a look at the this page: http://sealevel.colorado.edu/
          It explains all the things you clearly don’t understand about computing global average sea level.

        • AndyG55 says:

          Colorado Uni.. now you really have me laughing. 🙂

          Paid apostles of the AGW agenda. !!!

          Here is some research from someone who actually know about this stuff..

          http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/blog_watch/sea_level_is_not_rising.html

        • Martin Smith says:

          Andy, you are doing the same thing Steven is doing. You can’t prove fraud by assuming fraud. You can’t dismiss this institution http://sealevel.colorado.edu/ by assuming the scientists who work there are committing fraud.

          Now you are claiming that CU, AVISO, CSIRO, NASA GSFC, and NOAA are ALL committing fraud. You are claiming that ALL the scientists studying sea level rise at ALL these institutions have gotten ALL their research wrong, and they did it on purpose because they are government employees. And you are claiming that this one guy, Nils-Axel Mörner, has got it right. Can you see how silly you look saying that? What do you base your belief on?

        • AndyG55 says:

          Glad you mentioned the word fraud..

          Obviously on your mind.

        • AndyG55 says:

          I repeat , because you are obviously very hard of understanding…

          The stable tide data shows a trend of less than 2mm/year.

          It is only the erroneous fabrications of NOAA, picked up by the rest of the cultists, that shows a massively scary 3.2mm/year.

          Quick.. head for the hills..

          oh wait.. all the climate glitterati buy at near sea level…. funny about that. 😉

        • Martin Smith says:

          This is the REAL DATA.. not from UColorado’s fabrications.

          http://realclimatescience.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/ScreenHunter_2763-Aug.-27-12.31.gif

          See that middle section.. that is the stable tide gauges and they average well less than 2mm/year

          You can repeat your lies as often as you like, but NOAA’s own data and own statement say that the sea level rise is well less than 2mm/year.

          But you will find your time is completely wasted, as everyone who reads here regularly knows the truth, and is working hard to spread the word.
          You are on a sinking ship martin, and you may want to think about finding a survival suit and manning a lifeboat.
          I suggest you contact your handlers and report your utter failure to sway a single solitary soul with your phony BS.

        • sam says:

          wait, they actually reply to your emails? I had sent the NOAA 3 emails requesting clarification of the charts that SG and other’s post, particularly how the charts were apparently changed .. I needed a response from them because I was writing an article for the local newspaper about the maunder minimum and the preponderance of the evidence seems to show cooling since appox 2000.. I got nothing, you would think they would have an entire section dedicated to responding to questions about old/new graphs, they don’t and neither do sites like skepticalscience skeptical science does not take this issue head-on. because then they would be forced to upload the NOAA.NASA, IPCC’s old charts onto their own site and they don’t wanna do that because that would turn the average person into a ‘skeptic’

      • Martin Smith says:

        It does have to do with this topic, Steven, because the data you are missing is in the database that is currently offline.

        • AndyG55 says:

          Odd about that.. as soon as SG links to it.. off-line it goes. 😉

          But that “inconvenient” data is still available.

          And it shows that the general sea level rise, according to NOAA tide gauges, averages somewhere LESS THAN 2mm/year.

          How SCARY is that , hey !!!!

          Are you PANICKING yet, Martin ?

        • Martin Smith says:

          Andy, you can’t use the data the way you are using the data. You have to take out the vertical land movement. Your remarks are incorrect.

        • AndyG55 says:

          No Martin. your remarks are incorrect.

          The sea average tidal sea level rise shows a rate of LESS THAN 2mm/year.

          Can you keep up with that?

        • Martin Smith says:

          Andy, you have to read the explanation of what the data is. The explanation is on this page: http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends.shtml Scroll down to Products. Read that paragraph. It explains why Steven and got this all wrong.

        • AndyG55 says:

          Their own data proves that SG is correct,

          End of story.

          Answer me again.. why is even the fabricated 3.2mm/year so darn SCARY to you ?

        • Martin Smith says:

          >Their own data proves that SG is correct,
          Nope. Steven got it wrong because he is using data that contains vertical land movement.

          >Answer me again.. why is even the fabricated 3.2mm/year so darn SCARY to you ?

          It isn’t fabricated and it isn’t scary. It is measured by satellite altimeters. It is problematic because it is causing the number of flood days per year to increase for cities like Miami and Boston.

        • AndyG55 says:

          Again, I invite everybody to got to

          http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends.shtml

          click on Global and see that the vast majority of stable tidal gauges are well less than 3mm/year.

          the average of 3.2mm/year is a FABRICATION.

          Martin knows this, but is trying cover up the fact with bluster and other BS.

        • Martin Smith says:

          And, have a look at this page. It explains all the things you clearly don’tunderstand about computing global average sea level: http://sealevel.colorado.edu/

          “causing the number of flood days per year to increase for cities like Miami and Boston.’

          So these places can’t manage a sea level rise of 3.2mm/year (or in reality, about half that)

          That is SERIOUSLY PATHETIC !!!!

          perhaps they shouldn’t take so much water from underground.. then they wouldn’t be sinking !!

          The problem they have is most amateur skeptics have good scientific and engineering training and are much better informed than the emotive liberal arts types they can get as trolls. That is why they have had to resort to banning skeptic comments and refusing to print skeptic articles.

    • David A says:

      What does one thing you said have to do with the post, what the tide gauges show, and the absolute SL rise reported by NASA?

      • Martin Smith says:

        David, Steven is claiming fraud by NOAA because a web page he uses isn’t accessible. The reason the web page isn’t accessible is the database system it comes from is offline. A missing web page is not evidence of fraud, especially when the database system that generates it is offline.

        • David A says:

          Not what he said. He has shown how they consistently adjust the data upwards for bogus reasons; such as the assumption that the ocean basin is increasing, and other unexplained changes like the linked blink graphics. There are several peer reviewed studies that show no increase in SL rise rate, and the tide gauges are likely more accurate for numerous reasons. Yes, the land rises and sinks, depending on where one is. Have you read Dr. Morner’s SL report? He is one of the most published L specialists in the field.

      • menicholas says:

        Better call for back-up.

    • AndyG55 says:

      Tell ya what Martin,

      How about you keep an eye on that page and tell us all when the page that states..

      “the absolute global sea level rise is believed to be 1.7-1.8 millimeters/year.”

      comes back on line. 😉

      Oh.. that value looks like its less than 2mm…. whatdyaknow ! 😉

  2. AndyG55 says:

    One can go to this page and see just how many of the tide gauges are LESS THAN 3mm/yr

    http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/

    Will this page now ALSO disappear.

    How very inconvenient NOAA’s own data is to their story. !!! 😉

  3. AndyG55 says:

    The stable long term tide gauges show ABSOLUTELY NO ACCELERATION, (maybe a hint of deceleration.)

    Just like the satellite temperature data, there is ABSOLUTELY NO CO2 WARMING signature.

    This is a FACT that they cannot twist or adjust their way around.

  4. Martin Smith says:

    Steven, the data you are using from the 240 tide gauges doesn’t have the vertical land motion taken out. The explanation is on this page: http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends.shtml
    You can’t use this data to compare to the global average sea level rise, which is computed from data where the vertical land movement has been removed.

    • AndyG55 says:

      Yes, and as SG has shown.. the vast majority are less than the 3.2mm/year that NOAA propagandises.

      Even at the fabricated 3.2mm/year……

      I mean.. wow.. SCARY !!!!

      • Martin Smith says:

        No, Andy, he hasn’t shown anything, because the data he is using still contain the vertical land movement. The 3.2 mm/year global average is computed from satellite data, which doesn’t have vertical land movement in it.

        • AndyG55 says:

          It is referenced to an area that has been shown to be sinking. So yes it does have an erroneous vertical land measurement built into it, as well as many false fabrications and adjustments.

          The Tidal sea level data does not show any acceleration.

          It cannot be adjusted because it is relied upon for shipping purposes.

          End of story.

        • Martin Smith says:

          >It cannot be adjusted because it is relied upon for shipping purposes.

          Correct. But when it is used to compute global average sea level, the vertical land movement is taken out. That’s the part Steven and you got wrong.

        • AndyG55 says:

          The most stable land tide gauges give a value of less than 2mm/year.

          Live with that fact..

          or scare yourself shitless with the erroneous 3.2mm/year.. putz !!!

        • Martin, you are a stupid turd. It doesn’t matter whether the vertical land movements are taken out, because the land movements are stable and not accelerating or decerating, so if the sea levels (without the land movements removed) are not accelerating, then sea level rise is not accelerating.

          There is no vertical land movement in Hawaii, because it’s not part of a continent. There is land erosion over millions of years, but that’s so slow it’s negligible. In Hawaii, sea level rise is 1.5 mm/yr and not accelerating, and we can use that as a rise-ometer for the whole world because it’s in the middle of the ocean and not affected by anything. Not even the El-Nino

          “the absolute global sea level rise is believed to be 1.7-1.8 millimeters/year.”

          Calling me names doesn’t prove your argument or Stevens. Let’s just agree that I am a moron and stop calling me names. I do understand the difference between speed and acceleration.

Southeast Vietnam beachrocks reveal that the mid-Holocene sea-level highstand slightly above + 1.4 m was reached between 6.7 and 5.0 ka, with a peak value close to + 1.5 m around 6.0 ka….

    THE HOLOCENE DEPOSITIONAL SYSTEM
    Partially abutted against the Pleistocene barrier island/lagoonal system III, there is the Holocene depositional system. This unit is attributable to the Santos Transgression of Suguio & Martin (1978), along the State of São Paulo coastline, or to the Last Transgression of Bittencourt et al. (1979) along the State of Bahia coastline, being similar to the barrier island/lagoonal system IV of Villwock et al. (1986), along the State of Rio Grande do Sul coastline.

    This system is related to the post-glacial transgressive episode whose culmination stage was attained about 5.1 ky BP, when a barrier island alignment was formed parallel to the shoreline, while drainage net was drowned. The subsequent regressive episode promoted the barrier island progradation following the lagoonal basin silting.

    The paleoshorelines limited by ancient cliffs carved within Pleistocene terraces, presently representing the inner limit of the Holocene terrace, shows that this sea-level reached about 4m above the present one. Several terraces situated in different altitudes, and truncation of past morphological features nowadays observed on Holocene deposits, as well as along present lagoonal margins suggest that small scale sea-level oscillations occurred during the last 5 ky….

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” Santa Catarina Brazil is at latitude 27.2500°S and is tectonically stable.

    For the areas occupied by the Romans it was pretty close to zero or actually sinking! “..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.”

    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. http://basementgeographer.com/glacial-isostatic-adjustment/

    Ice free Arctic Ocean, an Early Holocene analogue

    Abstract
    Extensive systems of wave generated beach ridges along the North Greenland coasts show that these areas once saw seasonally open water. In addition to beach ridges, large amounts of striated boulders in and on the marine sediments from the same period also indicate that the ocean was open enough for ice bergs to drift along the shore and drop their loads. Presently the North Greenland coastline is permanently beleaguered by pack ice, and ice bergs are very rare and locked up in the sea ice. Predictions of the rapidly decreasing sea ice in the Arctic Ocean generally point to this area as the last to become ice free in summer. We therefore suggest that the occurrence of wave generated shores and abundant ice berg dropped boulders indicate that the Arctic Ocean was nearly free of sea ice in the summer at the time when they were formed. The beach ridges occur as isostatically raised “staircases”, and C14-dated curves for relative sea level change show that they were formed in the Early Holocene. A large set of samples of molluscs from beach ridges and marine sediments were collected in the summer of 2007, and are presently being dated to give a precise dating of the ice free interval. Preliminary results indicate that it fell within the interval from c. 8.5 to c. 6 ka – being progressively shorter from south to north. We therefore conclude that for a period in the Early Holocene, probably for a millenium or more, the Arctic Ocean was free of sea ice at least for shorter periods in the summer….

    Temperature and precipitation history of the Arctic

    …. Solar energy reached a summer maximum (9% higher than at present) ~11 ka ago and has been decreasing since then, primarily in response to the precession of the equinoxes. The extra energy elevated early Holocene summer temperatures throughout the Arctic 1-3°C above 20th century averages, enough to completely melt many small glaciers throughout the Arctic, although the Greenland Ice Sheet was only slightly smaller than at present. Early Holocene summer sea ice limits were substantially smaller than their 20th century average, and the flow of Atlantic water into the Arctic Ocean was substantially greater. As summer solar energy decreased in the second half of the Holocene, glaciers re-established or advanced, sea ice expanded

    A new approach for reconstructing glacier variability based on lake sediments recording input from more than one glacier January 2012

    …. A multi-proxy numerical analysis demonstrates that it is possible to distinguish a glacier component in the ~ 8000-yr-long record, based on distinct changes in grain size, geochemistry, and magnetic composition…. This signal is …independently tested through a mineral magnetic provenance analysis of catchment samples. Minimum glacier input is indicated between 6700–5700 cal yr BP, probably reflecting a situation when most glaciers in the catchment had melted away, whereas the highest glacier activity [growth] is observed around 600 and 200 cal yr BP. During the local Neoglacial interval (~ 4200 cal yr BP until present), five individual periods of significantly reduced glacier extent are identified at ~ 3400, 3000–2700, 2100–2000, 1700–1500, and ~ 900 cal yr BP….

    Sea Level Changes Past Records and Future Expectations

    For the last 40-50 years strong observational facts indicate virtually stable sea level conditions. The Earth’s rate of rotation records an [average] acceleration from 1972 to 2012, contradicting all claims of a rapid global sea level rise, and instead suggests stable, to slightly falling, sea levels.

    Have they corrected for the 18.6-yearly Luna Nodal cycle? Linear trend lines on sinusoidal curves are very time dependent.
    The Dutch who are the most concerned about actual sea level rise have found the cycle.

    Local Relative Sea Level
    To determine the relevance of the nodal cycle at the Dutch coast, a spectral analysis was carried out on the yearly means of six main tidal gauges for the period 1890–2008. The data were corrected for atmospheric pressure variation using an inverse barometer correction. The spectral density shows a clear peak at the 18.6 -year period (Figure 1). The multiple linear regression yields a sea-level rise (b1) of 0.19 +/- 0.015 cm y-1 (95%), an amplitude (A) of 1.2 +/- 0.92 cm, and a phase (w) of -1.16 (with 1970 as 0), resulting in a peak in February 2005 (Figure 2). No significant acceleration (inclusion of b2) was found.
    CONCLUSIONS
    Coastal management requires estimates of the rate of sealevel rise. The trends found locally for the Dutch coast are the same as have been found in the past 50 years (Deltacommissie, 1960; Dillingh et al., 1993). Even though including the nodal cycle made it more likely that the high-level scenarios would become apparent in the observations, no acceleration in the rate of sea-level rise was found. The higher, recent rise (van den Hurk et al., 2007) coincides with the up phase of the nodal cycle. For the period 2005 through 2011, the Dutch mean sea-level is expected to drop because the lunar cycle is in the down phase. This shows the importance of including the 18.6-year cycle in regional sea-level estimates. Not doing so on a regional or local scale for decadal length projections leads to inaccuracies.

      Even this is an overestimation using their data.

    • pmc47025 says:

      Wow, miss a day… Martin,
      1) A CYA sticker (dog ate my database) does not refute a fraud claim.

      2) There are a number of studies showing ~1.8mm sea level rise since just before the pre-industrial era with no increase in rise rate since humans started pumping CO2 into the atmosphere. One study is here: http://kaares.ulapland.fi/home/hkunta/jmoore/pdfs/Jevrejevaetal2013GPChange.pdf

      3) The 3.2mm/year in the NOAA report shows a mostly linear rise since 1993 as measured by satellites. That report COULD be correct, but not relevant. Comparing satellite (post 1993) with tide gauge data (pre 1993) doesn’t make sense. To detect a change in rise rate the same reference (tide gauges) must be used throughout the period in question.

      4) Sea level has changed >100m over the last 15,000 years or so. 99.9% of that change occurred before humans discovered how to control fire. Taking a ~22 year snapshot of data and claiming evidence of a “CO2 signal” is madness (or fraud if you prefer). “Big Obtuse” is very good at ignoring pre-industrial climate changes.

    It really is amazing just how variable the land-sea interface can be over a relatively short distance. For example the stretch of Normandy coast the allies landed on June, 6th, 1944. The landing at Sword Beach on the eastern end of the landing area was scheduled to occur nearly 40 minutes after the landing at Utah Beach on the western end just because of the difference in the tides. The distance between the western and eastern extremes of those two landing beaches is only about 85 km.

    Martin Smith says: “… it is causing the number of flood days per year to increase for cities like Miami and Boston.”

    BULL. Typical I have a hammer so everything looks like a nail mentality.

    MIAMI

    Florida has been pumping out ground water that means they have the same problem as New Orleans.

    Stable Ground
    When New Orleans was founded in the early 18th century, it occupied the high, dry land along the river’s natural levees. The passage to the lake could be made by boat with a short portage; and the lake offered access to the gulf via Lake Borgne.

    The cypress swamps between the river and the lake lay just above sea level, but they were too wet to occupy permanently, and until the early twentieth century, the city’s development was confined to the stable high ground along the Mississippi….

    In the first half of the twentieth century, mechanical pumping technology enabled the draining and subdivision of the city’s back-of-town swamps. The reclamation of these soggy areas had an unexpected consequence: it made ground levels fall.

    This process, called subsidence, occurred through different mechanisms. Organic matter in the soil oxidized, so soil volume was reduced. As pumping extracted water from the ground, soil particles collapsed onto each other. The removal of the cypress swamps brought an end to soil creation through organic decomposition.…..

    <b.BOSTON

    Boston, (like NYC) is built on fill. With heavy buildings fill will compress and sink. (My *&^! contractor did this to me after I told him not to. The building on the fill half sank causing all sorts of major problems and a $100,000 loss.)

    The Back Bay area of Boston was filled in by Asa G. Sheldon (1788-1870) of Wilmington Massachusetts. His 1862 autobiography Life of Asa G. Sheldon, Wilmington Farmer details how he was commissioned to take down Pemberton Hill Boston and use it as fill on the north side of Causeway Street.

    His ad for twenty yoke of Oxen:

    http://www.mocavo.com/Life-of-Asa-G-Sheldon-Wilmington-Farmer/723499/189

    …The 1829 map above shows the hill – then called Pemberton – surrounded by streets but still intact. The property was famous as the home of merchant Gardiner Greene and his terraced gardens, and for the view of the harbor from the estate….

    Gardiner Greene died in 1832, and his estate and the other that made up the hill property were bought by Patrick Tracy Jackson. Jackson then hired Wilmington teamster Asa Sheldon to level the hill. Starting in May of 1835, Sheldon used 126 oxen and 250 men to remove 65 feet of elevation off the top of the hill. Of the work crew, 60 were Yankees and 190 Irishmen, with most of the Yankees being teamsters driving wagons, and all of the Irish manning shovels. In five months, the job would be finished and new plots laid out.

  11. Gail Combs says:

    In 1835, Sheldon used 126 oxen and 250 men and in five months filled in the nasty stinking sea marsh at the edge of Boston. 180 years later we have wimps like Martin wining and whinging about a fingernails width of sea level rise a year during this modern warm period. Of course the sea level will fall again as the climate cools as it is showing signs of doing.

    MARTIN,
    If you don’t want your feet to get wet DON”T BUILD AT WATER LEVEL!…SHEESH

    Of all the natural hazards like earthquakes, blizzards, tornadoes and hurricanes, flooding is very easy to guard against. Only the brain dead build in flood zones like river flood plains and right next to the ocean. In earlier times these idiots would be awarded the Darwin Award as they deserve. Now we get to foot the bill via raise insurance premiums.

    • menicholas says:

      Exactly Gail.
      You have nailed it.
      One can go all the way back to the Bible and find the admonishment that only a fool builds his house on sand.
      Sea level rise is a non-issue for coastal dwellers, as nearly every inch of coastline will be struck by a catastrophic coastal storm before the current rate of rise ever causes a single house to be inundated. And that is IF sea level continues to rise at the same snail like pace as it has for over a century.
      Storms, not sea level rise, is what will cause destruction of oceanfront property.
      And the timing of the tides when each storm hits will continue to be the major factor it has always been.
      If sea level was a real threat, rather than political garbage, why would we be rebuilding storm damaged real estate as fast as possible?

        Thanks Gail! I had done a bit of a search but had come up dry. My background includes glacial geomorphology and I have had fun tracing elevated beach ridges on the Door peninsula and Washington Island, Lake Michigan, where the evidence of both falling lake levels early post glacial and isostatic rebound from glacial unloading is plainly evident. Interestingly, recently falling lake levels in Lake Michigan were taken as evidence of global warming but over just a few months the lake has risen 44 inches and is back to levels of 15 years ago. It is somewhat ironic that the ferry company got the navigation channel on the Washington Island side dredged deeper a couple of years ago just before the rebound in water levels. You can still see the dredge on the google earth satellite view. West side of the big bay on the south side of the island.

  15. oz4caster says:

    I read the CU FAQ cited by Martin Smith and saw the following:

    “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. As an average, it indicates the general state of the sea level across the oceans and not any specific location.”

    “GMSL is a good indicator of changes in the volume of water in the oceans due to mass influx (e.g., land ice melt) and density changes (e.g., thermal expansion), and is therefore of interest in detecting climate change.”

    Two points:

    1) Sea levels along the coast are what matters to most people and when most people hear the message “sea levels are rising” they assume sea levels along the coast are rising by the amount indicated. This is not at all true with GMSL. It does not accurately represent the sea level changes along the coasts as does the tide data cited by AndyG55. For direct impacts on humans, it is the tide data that matters.

    2) In the context of detecting climate change using GMSL, the accuracy of the GMSL estimates is critical. I suspect the accuracy of the GMSL estimate for any particular time is not more than about +/- 0.5 meter and if I am right, then any trends less than this amount are in the noise range and mean nothing.

    The good news: The Whitehouse Itself Undercut the AGW Scam!

    AGW was an attempt to end economic inequality by limiting the size of the per capita CO2 exhaust around the globe. This noble cause failed because it is based on a falsehood: THE SUN – NOT CO2 – CONTROLS EARTH’S CLIMATE.

    It was a Herculean task to return society to contact with reality, but we all tried. Earlier this week the Whitehouse finally admitted the biggest threat to the survival of civilization is NOT AGW, but a SOLAR EMP:
