Sea Level Fraud At NASA

Nearly everything NASA says about climate is fraudulent, and their claims about sea level are no exception. Their sea level data agreed with the 1990 IPCC report until about 1920, but  after 1920 NASA turned a measured reduction in sea level rise rates into an acceleration.

2015-12-01-01-36-53

Sea level rise is caused primarily by two factors related to global warming: the added water from melting land ice and the expansion of sea water as it warms.

NASA : Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet: Sea Level

1990 IPCC : Chapter 9

The 1990 IPCC report said that sea level was rising from 1.0-1.2 mm/year, and had not accelerated in the 20th century.

2015-12-01-01-42-422015-12-01-01-42-14

The criminals at NASA have tripled the rate of sea level rise to 3.24 mm/year.

Hopefully the next president will round up the government climate banditos, and send them riding off into the sunset

  1. Martin Smith says:

    Steven, we have a new way to measure sea level now. In the middle instead of only at the edges. With satellites. You know. Like the ones you believe are the only accurate way to measure temperature: http://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/sod/lsa/SeaLevelRise/

    Bit more cognitive dissonance there.

    [SG : Only a complete moron or a criminal would switch to an uncalibrated measurement device, and then claim that different readings from that device were caused by a change in the object being measured. Is Martin a criminal, or just a moron?]

  2. AndyG55 says:

    “said that sea level was rising from 1.0-1.2 mm/year”

    Pretty much what the tide gauges STILL say.

    Their corruption of the satellite sea level data is tantamount to scientific, and maybe criminal FRAUD. !!

    • Martin Smith says:

      Andy, you have committed the Steven Goddard Fallacy (SGF). You have shown evidence of an adjustment and then you have called it fraud. Evidence of adjustment is not evidence of fraud.

      • Really? Well let me take the tide gauge data and adjust it for you, right here:

        _______________________________________________________________

        Do you see that line? I adjusted it to a horizontal line. That’s called an adjustment.

      • AndyG55 says:

        Martin, you have committed the brain-dead moron fallacy.. as always.

        Evidence of unjustified adjustments to meet a cause..is evidence of FRAUD.

      • AndyG55 says:

        Evidence of intentionally switching to a corrupted data set from a long term data set, with the absolute intent of deceiving un-thinking fools like you.. IS FRAUD

  3. AndyG55 says:

    The satellite data references a place named Battery, NYC .

    Go to this page ftp://cors.ngs.noaa.gov/cors/coord/coord_08/nad83_2011_geo.comp.txt for the latest computed results which include vertical movement for a selection of CORS sites

    With that, and NOAA’s tide gauge data and/or satellite derived sea level data, one can tell what is really happening.

    The latest subsidence numbers for the Battery, NYC come from this paper. Using global positioning system-derived crustal velocities to estimate rates of absolute sea level change from North American tide gauge records by Richard Snay et al. who calculate a long-term geological rate of 2.2 mm/yr. [Note carefully — the 2.2 mm/yr is the SUBSIDENCE rate — the land sinking]

    So the satellite trend of 3.6mm/year MINUS the 2.2mm/year SINKAGE of the reference point..

    Equals about 1.4mm/year.. almost EXACTLY what the tide data suggests.

    REAL DATA HURTS you, doesn’t it, little goreworm.

    • AndyG55 says:

      Oh wait there. Martin says 2.9mm/year.

      minus the sinkage of the reference point = 0.7mm/year.

      That’s almost exactly what the most stable places in the world give.

      http://s19.postimg.org/o9k545yr7/image.jpg

        • AndyG55 says:

          Note, there is absolutely NO ACCELERATION.

          These points are of course where land is sinking.

        • Martin Smith says:

          Andy, you are showing graphs that have their trend lines computed with simple linear regression. And I believe the data used in those graphs doesn’t have land subsidence removed. In any case, you have to do the processing required on all the data, not just the few sites you want to cherry-pick.

        • AndyG55 says:

          Yet you are TOTALLY unable to find one site that shows any acceleration.

          And you are correct, the 6 graphs above have not been adjusted for settlement and land movement, otherwise the trends would be about 2 to 2.5mm/year LESS than that given

          The stable land tide data has values between about 0.5mm/year and 1.8mm/year.

          You can find that REAL DATA from the link to the NOAA data.. if you weren’t so afraid of REAL DATA.

          Land subsidence is exactly what the HAVEN’T accounted for in the fraudulent satellite sea level trend. They KNOW that their reference point is sinking at about 2.2mm/year, but they don’t take that into account. That is FRAUD

          The REAL sea level trend from the satellite data is about 1.4mm/year.. same as the tude gauges.

        • AndyG55 says:

          Or you could look at a peer reviewed paper..

          http://88.167.97.19/temp/Sea-Level_Acceleration_Based_on_U.S._Tide_Gauges_and_Extensions_of_Previous_Global-Gauge_Analyses_jcoastres-d-10-00157-1.pdf

          that concludes

          “Our analyses do not indicate acceleration in sea level in U.S.
          tide gauge records during the 20th century. Instead, for each
          time period we consider, the records show small decelerations
          that are consistent with a number of earlier studies of
          worldwide-gauge records. The decelerations that we obtain
          are opposite in sign and one to two orders of magnitude less
          than the +0.07 to +0.28 mm/y2 accelerations that are required to
          reach sea levels predicted for 2100 by Vermeer and Rahmsdorf
          (2009), Jevrejeva, Moore, and Grinsted (2010), and Grinsted,
          Moore, and Jevrejeva (2010). Bindoff et al. (2007) note an
          increase in worldwide temperature from 1906 to 2005 of 0.74uC.
          It is essential that investigations continue to address why this
          worldwide-temperature increase has NOT produced acceleration
          of global sea level over the past 100 years, and indeed why
          global sea level has possibly decelerated for at least the last
          80 years.”

        • Steve Case says:

          Figure 3 graph a says nothing about acceleration. What do you think it says?

        • AndyG55 says:

          Yes, they have their tiny little insignificant bit of red line too steep, because that haven’t adjusted properly for the satellite reference point..

          Is that what you were trying to show us?

        • Gail Combs says:

          I reformated that for you Andy

          OH, GOODY!
          Another study for my sea level fraud collection!
          https://media2.stickersmalin.com/produit/100/stickers-devil-smile-R1-143760-2.png

        • Martin Smith says:

          Steve Case, you can’t be serious. The graph clearly shows an increasing trend. That is acceleration.

        • AndyG55 says:

          You mean the curved line they have put there to fool the gullible.

          You must be joking Martin, and again exposing your absolute mathematical stupidity and ignorance.

        • AndyG55 says:

          I mean how stupid do they think people are.

          They are obviously aiming the graph at people like martin, that they know are stupid..

          Fig 3 b shows a clear step change in about 1930, then an even slope of about 1.7mm/year with cycles there after. They have also tacked satellite data , not properly adjusted for the subsidence of the reference point onto the end.

          The curved line is either scientific incompetence, or scientific fraud.. people can choose which they think it is.

          Anyway, I’ve fixed their graph for them and added some realistic trend lines.

          (In Fig 3a, I would have liked to show the part from1880 to1925 gradually levelling out, but the simple graphic package I’m using doesn’t do that easily.

          In Fig 3a, I’ve also adjusted their little tacked on satellite bit, with the proper adjustment for reference subsidence.

          http://s19.postimg.org/iy32z5dir/Fixed2.jpg

    • AndyG55 says:

      Seems Martin didn’t understand that the reference point for the satellite data is sinking at 2.2mm/year,…

      meaning that the REAL TREND in the satellite data is about 1.4mm/year. Pretty much what the REAL DATA from tide gauges says.

      Anyone not taking the sinking of this reference point into account, (ie the paper he links), is either INCOMPETENT or committing FRAUD with the obvious intent to deceive.

      • AndyG55 says:

        Its just like the surface temperature data and UHI adjustments….

        ….they adjust them in the direction that suits the agenda, rather than the direct REAL SCIENCE dictates.

        • Gail Combs says:

          Andy, I was really surprised (though I should not be) at this.

          The decelerations that we obtain are opposite in sign and one to two orders of magnitude less than the +0.07 to +0.28 mm/y2 accelerations that are required to reach sea levels predicted for 2100 by Vermeer and Rahmsdorf (2009), Jevrejeva, Moore, and Grinsted (2010), and Grinsted, Moore, and Jevrejeva (2010).

It is essential that investigations continue to address why this worldwide-temperature increase has NOT produced acceleration of global sea level over the past 100 years, and indeed why global sea level has possibly decelerated for at least the last 80 years.”

          So NASA is ‘adjusting’ the sea level to meet the predictions !!!

    Thanks again, peeps!

  5. Gail Combs says:

    Martin Smit says: “Note that the current rate of sea level rise is 2.9 mm/year, which is much higher than the trend for last century. “

    Well I sure in heck hope it is! Ice cores from the Freemont Glacier show it went from Little Ice Age cold to Modern Warming warm in the ten years around 1850 — Naturally.

    ABSTRACT
    An ice core removed from the Upper Fremont Glacier… provides evidence for abrupt climate change during the mid-1800s….

    At a depth of 152 m the refined age-depth profile shows good agreement (1736±10 A.D.) with the 14C age date (1729±95 A.D.). The ?18O profile of the Upper Fremont Glacier (UFG) ice core indicates a change in climate known as the Little Ice Age (LIA)….

    At this depth, the age-depth profile predicts an age of 1845 A.D. Results indicate the termination of the LIA was abrupt with a major climatic shift to warmer temperatures around 1845 A.D. and continuing to present day. Prediction limits (error bars) calculated for the profile ages are ±10 years (90% confidence level). Thus a conservative estimate for the time taken to complete the LIA climatic shift to present-day climate is about 10 years, suggesting the LIA termination in alpine regions of central North America may have occurred on a relatively short (decadal) timescale.

    Actually the ‘sea level rise’ has FALLEN about 4 to 6 feet.
    DIRECT MEASUREMENT IN TECTONICALLY STABLE AREAS
    Tectonically stable area refers to areas devoid of deformation such as all processes which modify the external form of the crust. For example unidirectional vertical movements, plate tectonics and also the rise and fall of the solid earth surface, especially in coastal areas, caused by external factors such as climate change (gio-isotasy, hydro-isotasy)

    Mid to late Holocene sea-level reconstruction of Southeast Vietnam using beachrock and beach-ridge deposits

    ….backshore deposits along the tectonically stable south-eastern Vietnamese coast document Holocene sea level changes…..reconstructed for the last 8000 years….The rates of sea-level rise decreased sharply after the rapid early Holocene rise and stabilized at a rate of 4.5 mm/year between 8.0 and 6.9 ka. 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….

    Translation the sea level was up to 1.5 meters higher than today in a tectonically stable area ~5000 years ago to 2000 years ago.

    Late Quaternary highstand deposits of the southern Arabian Gulf: a record of sea-level and climate change

    Abstract
    …..It has therefore been necessary to infer the ages of these sediments by a comparison of their stratigraphy and elevation with deposits known from other parts of the world. We regard this approach as valid because the southern Gulf coastline lacks evidence for significant widespread neotectonic uplift,…….
    …..Widespread evidence exists for a Holocene sea level higher than at present in the southern Arabian Gulf, indicating that it peaked at 1–2 m above present level, c. 5.5 ka bp……. sp(DOT)lyellcollection.org/content/195/1/371.refs

    This study shows a sea level highstand ~1 to 2 meters above the present level about ~5500 years ago. Again in a tectonically stable area.

    The Quaternary Geological History of the Santa Catarina Southeastern Region (Brazil)

    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….
    (wwwDOT)scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S0001-37652000000200011&script=sci_arttext

    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”
    Santa Catarina Brazil is at latitude 27.2500°S and is tectonically stable as shown by other papers.

    VALIDATION BY ALTERNATE STUDIES
    GLACIAL ADVANCE
    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….
    (wwwDOT)sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0033589411001256

    The highest glacier growth started 600 years ago prior to that most glaciers had melted away.

    THIRD METHOD OF VALIDATION
    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.

        All the visitors? Do you really think anyone who wants information about climate science visits this blog to get it? Visitors to this blog are either people like me, who enjoy improving our ability to find errors in logic and math in pseudoscientific writing, or they are people like you, who appear not to have the brains to pour sand out of a boot… with instructions on the heel.

        It has become repetitive, though, because all of you, including Steven Goddard, commit the same error over and over again and again. You find evidence of a data adjustment by comparing old data to new data, and then you claim the difference is proof of fraud. Steven Goddard has done that in every blog post I have read of his in which he claims to have detected fraud. Every time.

        No one uses this site as a reference. Even Anthony Watts and Judith Curry dismissed it as bogus.

        May you live in interesting times, Andy.

          Puleeeze. I know exactly the instance you’re referring to, and It’s not surprising you left off the fact they both turned right back around and made mea culpas after they realized Tony found was right.

        • Disillusioned says:

        • Ted says:

          Martin-

          Your response to an accusation of running from data is entirely devoid of any data. That’s not very informative.

          If you want to debate straight logic, I’d be pleased to. I’ve made that request of you several times now. I’m sure Gail would be thrilled to trade scientific papers back and forth with you, but I don’t have that capacity. I’ve never claimed any particular expertise, nor do I share the strong beliefs that several on this site, including you, demonstrate. All I have are a few fundamental questions that I’ve never seen answered satisfactorily. I hope you can help me with them.

          Let me start with the heart of your arguments, that the adjustments to the data are proper. You have been shown many times that the magnitude of the adjustments is greater than the margin of error. Logically, that condition invalidates either the adjustments, or the data. Can you explain why that isn’t the case? Can you explain why the reported margin of error was DECREASED, when the error was found to be greater than that initially claimed for the measurements? Alternately, can you show any evidence that Tony has lied about the magnitude of those adjustments, and that they’re all still within the original and current margins of error?

          I’ll gladly read anything you can link me to, provided you can show me how to find it for free, and you can narrow it down to something actually relevant to the question. For example, simply linking to IPCC5 is of no use to anyone. That includes hundreds of pages that I’m sure even you would concede are irrelevant to this discussion. (the entirety of WGIII, for instance) Linking to IPCC5, WGI, Chapter 2, on the other hand could very well be relevant. Incidentally, I’ve read it, and I found no attempt to address the problem of adjustments greater than the error bars. But if you think I’ve missed something by all means, point it out.

          I look forward to your response.

          You are wasting your genius here, you need to go back to ‘skepticalscience’ blog. Once you correct all of their sciency errors, errors of omission, fraudulent statements and data and so on, then and only then would I or anyone else take you seriously.

        • AndyG55 says:

          No two ways about it, especially when that adjustment is pre-empted by comments in emails discussing the need for those adjustments.

          That is why you run and hide from anything to do with REAL DATA..

          Deep down, even you KNOW the adjustments are fraudulent.

        • Gail Combs says:

          Andy,
          It is the fact that ALL the data, CO2, temperature, sea level and everything else is ‘adjusted’ to support the meme that is compelling evidence of FRAUD. THEN add the Climategate e-mails plus the IPCC’s mandate:

          The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988 to assess the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant for the understanding of human induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for mitigation and adaptation.
          http://www.ipcc-wg2.gov/

          The IPCC’s ROLE

          The role of the IPCC is to assess on a comprehensive, objective, open and transparent basis the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation. IPCC reports should be neutral with respect to policy, although they may need to deal objectively with scientific, technical and socio-economic factors relevant to the application of particular policies.
          http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/ipcc-principles/ipcc-principles.pdf

          So there it is again. ONLY “human-induced climate change” is of interest and that is why you see very little work done on natural climate change. So it never was about understanding the climate. It was really about ‘options for mitigation and adaptation. ‘ and this is the change wanted by the Globalists like the UN, the World Bank, and the WTO.

          And from the official UN Framework Convention on Climate Change

          Climate change” means a change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere and which is in addition to natural climate variability observed over comparable time periods.

          CLASSIC PROGRESSIVE manipulation by changing the meaning of a word. So people have been hoodwinked thoroughly into thinking the IPCC was actually looking at the climate when they never were.

          Christiana Figueres, disciple of Al Gore, and Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention giving us one reason for the con.

          “This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution… democracy is a poor political system for fighting global warming. Communist China is the best model.” —

          Rosa Koire, a ‘flaming liberal’ puts it more bluntly Your government is a corporatocracy, a new authoritarian state in the process of consolidating your output into a more controllable, exploitable channel. and I certainly can not disagree with her.

          The World Bank makes it very clear they see it as a money maker.

          World Bank Carbon Finance Report for 2007
          The carbon economy is the fastest growing industry globally with US$84 billion of carbon trading conducted in 2007, doubling to $116 billion in 2008, and expected to reach over $200 billion by 2012 and over $2,000 billion by 2020

          This is a fraud that produces nothing but poverty. It does not produce a single penny of wealth and instead acts as a short circuit across the advancement and wealth of an entire civilization funneling it into the pockets of the elite. It beats the heck out of AIG’s credit-default swap for sucking up other people’s money.

          **********************************************************
          AND HIDDEN AWAY SO NO ONE SEES THEY TELL THE TRUTH. They have no friggin idea of what the climate is going to do!!!

          The ClimAstrologists admit their models do not produce data, they only regurgitate the assertions put in. GIGO

          …in climate research and modeling we should recognise that we are dealing with a complex non linear chaotic signature and therefore that long-term prediction of future climatic states is not possible

          Projections of future climate change are not like weather forecasts. It is not possible to make deterministic, definitive predictions of how climate will evolve over the next century and beyond as it is with short-term weather forecasts. It is not even possible to make projections of the frequency of occurrence of all possible outcomes in the way that it might be possible with a calibrated probabilistic medium-range weather forecast. Projections of climate change are uncertain, firstly because they are primarily dependent on scenarios of future anthropogenic and natural forcings that are uncertain, secondly because of incomplete understanding and imprecise models of the climate system and finally because of the existence of internal climate variability. The term climate projection tacitly implies these uncertainties and dependencies…
          IPCC 2001 section 4.2.2.2 page 774

          On top of that the IPCC itself, has seen the light ,thrown up its hands, and given up on calculating a meaningful climate sensitivity – the AR5 SPM says ( hidden away in a footnote)

          “No best estimate for equilibrium climate sensitivity can now be given because of a lack of agreement on values across assessed lines of evidence and studies”

          But paradoxically they still claim that we can dial up a desired temperature by controlling CO2 levels. This is cognitive dissonance so extreme as to be crazy…. OR A MAJOR CON JOB!

  8. Jason Calley says:

    Does anyone have a reasonable estimate of error in satellite sea level figures? I seem to recall that the wavelength of the signals they are using is quite a bit longer than the figures they are reporting. If you have a 60 millimeter wavelength, it is not reasonable to report changes of a 20th of a wavelength per year — and that would true even if you knew the orbit of the satellite with zero error, which we do not.

    By the way, in the very first comment in this thread, it is something of a straw man to imply that since you think that satellite temperature readings are more accurate than surface readings, then you ought to think that satellite sea level readings are more accurate than surface readings. Seriously, that is a very foolish argument, no cognitive dissonance involved. That is like saying, “I think that my doctor is better at surgery than my auto mechanic, therefore my doctor is better at car repair than my mechanic.”

        Martin, I do not trust them to answer truthfully. I think I am more likely to get accurate answers from people whose paychecks and continued employment are not contingent upon their public agreement with CAGW. I have seen one or two blog postings concerning the subject of satellite accuracy and sea level, but do not remember where I saw them and a quick google search did not turn them up for me. I am asking because so many of the crowd here keep track of such things. Seriously though… doesn’t the mismatch of wavelength and claimed rates of change make you go “hmmmmm”? This is not angular resolution, but doesn’t the Rayleigh Criterion apply to distance as well? And that still leaves orbital variations in question.

        SHIELDING THE GIANTS: USDA’s “Don’t Look, Don’t Know” Policy
        A Rochester University/Strong Memorial Hospital doctor who was part of this** killed my mother. She and my father had ZERO idea she was being used by ‘The Butcher’ in any type of experimental studies and all of her medical was fully paid for. ** AMERICAN NUCLEAR GUINEA PIGS: THREE DECADES OF RADIATION EXPERIMENTS ON U.S. CITIZENS

        The EPA and Rochester University is STILL using humans as experimental animals!
        Teenager died in 1996 government-funded air pollution experiment at Univ. Rochester; University now using diabetics as air pollution guinea pigs

        …..The University of Rochester has apparently gotten over the death of Nicole Wan and has moved on to testing concentrated air pollution particles on diabetics via funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

        Occurring through at least September 30, 2012, the purpose of the experiments on diabetics was described as follows:

        These studies will use controlled human clinical exposures to test the hypothesis that inhalation of ambient ultrafine and fine PM causes measurable changes in coagulation and cardiovascular function, that these effects are determined by PM-associated reactive oxygen species, and that subjects with Type II diabetes are at increased risk for these effects.

        The University of Rochester received $8 million for the recent “research.”

        OH, and it was an overdose with lidocaine not the pollution that killed her. Given Strong Memorial’s very high mortality rate I am not surprise. Strong’s mortality rate was so high it was ‘featured’ on 60 Minutes Now I know why. (That hospital killed my best friend’s Mom and my boy friend’s Mom that same year too. All three had not reached retirement age.)

        EPA’s illegal human experiments could break Nuremberg Code

        The Obama Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says no law empowers any judge to stop it from conducting illegal scientific experiments on seniors, children and the sick….
        During that time at those university laboratories, EPA-employed or -funded researchers have intentionally exposed a variety of people to concentrated levels of different air pollutants, including particulate matter (soot and dust), diesel exhaust, ozone and chlorine gas — the latter substance more recognized as a World War I-era chemical weapon than as an outdoor air pollutant….

        Not only is diesel exhaust largely made up of “deadly” particulate matter, but its components include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which the EPA considers to be cancer-causing. The agency generally says that any exposure to a carcinogen increases the risk of cancer. Diesel exhaust also includes lead. The EPA has determined that lead can be readily absorbed from inhalation into the blood and that there is no safe level of lead in blood.

        The EPA has exposed its human guinea pigs to ozone levels as high as 400 parts per billion (ppb), more than five times higher than the EPA’s current standard and six times higher than the standard expected to be adopted in 2013. In a March 2012 letter to Mrs. Jackson from the agency’s Clean Air Scientific Advisory Council, a council member unwittingly commented that “[experimental] exposure of rats to 300 or 400 ppb may be very relevant to humans, but impossible to study in humans for ethical reasons.” Little did the council member know that EPA researchers routinely — but illegally — do the “impossible.”

        Aside from the EPA-determined dangers associated with the air pollutants used in the experiments, there are the human study subjects. While some have been healthy young adults, others have been elderly, asthmatic or both. Many have been diagnosed with “metabolic syndrome.” Some had suffered heart attacks and, while they were in rehabilitation, were enrolled as human guinea pigs. EPA-funded researchers apparently have even exposed children to dangerous diesel exhaust and ultrafine particles…..

        The EPA’s view, then, is that because Congress has not enacted a law that expressly forbids the agency from violating the Nuremberg Code and federal regulations governing human testing or that expressly guides judges in evaluating the conduct of agency researchers who experiment on their fellow human beings, the agency has unfettered discretion to do as it pleases with the young, old, sick and anyone else who falls into its clutches.

        Human testing lawsuit dismissed; Court lacks jurisdiction to hear case against EPA

        So the EPA and its researchers are free to violate all the rules of human experimentation — and no one can do anything about it.

        We can prove that EPA conducted illegal experiments, lied to the study subjects and committed assault and battery on its human guinea pigs….

        Every time you dig, you find the US government fudging data and showing utter contempt for citizens. The list is too long to post and is found through out the FDA, USDA, EPA, IRS….

    Even with 2 mm, you are talking 8 inches in a hundred years. That is diddlysquat!

    The North American plate is moving to the west-southwest at about 2.3 cm (~1 inch) per year driven by the spreading center that created the Atlantic Ocean, the Mid Atlantic Ridge. The small Juan De Fuca Plate, moving east-northeast at 4 cm (~1.6 inches) per year. The Juan de Fuca Plate is still actively subducting beneath N. America. Its motion is not smooth, but rather sticky; strain builds up until the fault breaks and a few meters of Juan De Fuca get slid under North America in a big earthquake.

    British Columbia is part of rigid North America and moves with it. This results in the Puget Lowland being compressed and warped like an accordion with alternating uplifted and down warped terrain shortening the distance between Centralia, Washington, and the Canadia border.

    This map measured over the puget lowland reveals a pattern of deep, fault bounded basins (cool colors) and uplifts (warm colors)

        Sure makes the current sea level wiggles look like a wimp.

        And then there is the EEmaine

        sea level rose rapidly at the end of the period, incising notches in older limestone. After brief stillstands at +6 [meters, yeah meters not mm] and perhaps +8.5 m, sea level fell with apparent speed to the MIS 5d lowstand and much cooler climatic conditions. It was during this regression from the MIS 5e highstand that the North Atlantic suffered an oceanographic ”reorganization” about 118.73 ka ago. During this same interval, massive dune-building greatly enlarged the Bahama Islands. Giant waves reshaped exposed lowlands into chevron-shaped beach ridges, ran up on older coastal ridges, and also broke off and threw megaboulders onto and over 20 m-high cliffs. The oolitic rocks recording these features yield concordant whole-rock amino acid ratios across the archipelago. Whether or not the Last Interglaciation serves as an appropriate analog for our ”greenhouse” world, it nonetheless reveals the intricate details of climatic transitions between warm interglaciations and near glacial conditions.”

        Looks like that spike in sea level occurred about 2,000 to 3,000 years before the drop into full glacial inception. It also looked like it happened pretty darn fast. No human intervention needed either.

        • Gail Combs says:

          Actually Andy I like snakes.

          I rescued a couple of black snakes (black rat snake –elaphe obsoleta) from the neighbors and tossed one in the grain room and the other under the house. They are great for keeping the rodent population down. Since the black snake shares the same taste in food as the copperhead (frogs, rodents, eggs of birds…) the copperhead, which is not such a mobile hunter cannot compete and hence will go elsewhere. I found black rat snakes climb treesand even into the hung cage with my chickens. It could not get out of the cage with an egg in its belly, so I caught it and moved it to the horse barn.

          We have been here over twenty years and have not seen a copperhead since I installed my black snakes.

        • Gail Combs says:

          That sucker looked like a one step or maybe a 1/2 step.

          I have seen a water moccasin a lot bigger than that. It was on a road/path at Ft. Jackson SC and all I saw was the middle stretch across the road, no head or tail. I was on horseback and we didn’t stick around to see the head. Water moccasin are not only venomous but are nasty. The WILL chase you unprovoked despite what the ‘experts’ on the internet say. It was probably heading toward 6 ft. or more. RAH would have a better idea of how wide a military ‘path’ is.

    Then after you tell me how much, I’m going to want to know how well that squares with the predictions for sea level rise from your side of the coin. That’s usually by 2100.
