    Steven,

    Children just wont know what subsidence is…

    http://www.pnas.org/content/108/40/E781.full

    Global modeling of glacial isostasy (3) gives a rate of subsidence of approximately 1.3 mm/y. Direct GPS measurements indicate an even higher rate of subsidence of the regional proglacial forebulge (2). Finally, local tide gauge records have a 20th century rate of sea level rise of close to 4 mm/y (2), or approximately 2 mm/y higher than the global mean rate of sea level rise. To summarize, all these alternative estimates point to a substantially greater rate of subsidence than the 1 mm/y geologic estimate.

  2. Claiming you can predict dramatic sea level rise by reference to a computer model you’ve just made up is usually called the “semi-empirical” approach – at least in the junk science sea level rise papers I’ve read.

    The puff piece on Earth magazine is riddled with errors and misstatements from top to bottom.

    The title sets the stage: “Denying Sea Level Rise”. The fact is that no one in NC is denying SLR. The issue is whether there will be linear or accelerated SLR — but that is not what the title says.

    I filed a complaint with the magazine’s editors. We’ll see what they do.

  4. I’m astounded the warmists themselves presented that graph . How the hell do you extrapolate an exponential out of the short piece of noise they sketch . A linear extrapolation sucks about all the information there is out of it .

    Congratulations to John Droz for being largely responsible for this success .

    I think more people should write letters to the offending publications.
    Remind them that debasing their integrity by publishing half truths and misleading nonsense will eventually have a cost.
