Tide gauges show that sea level in Manhattan is rising about 4mm per year and accelerating.

Data and Station Information for NEW YORK ( THE BATTERY)

But satellite data shows little sea level rise at that same location, and has been flat since 1998.

The graph below superimposes the data from the two graphs above. Essentially all of the claimed “sea level rise” (red line) is actually subsidence.

The map below superimposes lower Manhattan in 1660 on modern day lower Manhattan. Most of the land in modern lower Manhattan is fill dirt. The tide gauge is locate on fill and is subsiding.

Global warming geniuses in government tell us that we can stop subsidence by buying a hybrid or imposing a tax.

Global Warming’s Impact On Plants Greater Than Predicted

For over two decades, researchers have been conducting experiments that are designed to mimic the effects of rising temperatures on the rates at which plants first begin to leaf and flower each spring. However, a new study has found that that these models are inaccurate, and that the actual impact of global warming on plants may cause the flowering and leafing of plants to occur up to eight times faster than the models predicted.

For many years, researchers assumed that plants would respond in much the same way in experiments that simulate global warming as they would to changes in temperature occurring in the natural environment. To test this assumption, Dr Elizabeth Wolkovich, of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, and her colleagues compared the data on the timing of the flowering and leafing of plants found in observational studies to data based on warming experiments.

Two years ago, Suzuki told us that poor skiing conditions in British Columbia were your fault for driving a car.

British Columbia had their best ski season on record this year. Suzuki has been curiously silent about this.

If a glacial front is rapidly retreating, that proves man made global warming. If a glacier front is rapidly pushing forward, that also proves man made global warming. No matter what a glacier does, it is caused by man made global warming.

Data sheds light on speed of Greenland’s glaciers

Ice that is deposited into the sea by glaciers contributes to sea-level rise

As a result, the ice rivers may be contributing “significantly less” to sea-level rise than had been thought.

Previous studies had estimated that the nation’s glaciers would double their flow by 2010 and continue to maintain that speed, they explained.

But the team, writing in Science, said the glaciers could eventually flow faster than earlier studies estimated.

The team of US researchers based their findings on data stretching back to 2000-2001, collected from more than 200 outlet glaciers.

“So far, on average, we are seeing about a 30% speed-up in 10 years,” observed lead author Twila Moon from the University of Washington, Seattle.

This is less than earlier projections, one of which estimated that glacial flow would increase by 100% between 2000 and 2010 before stabilising at that new velocity.

Over the last few weeks we have learned some frightening facts

• Polar Bear populations are higher than previously thought, and likely the highest on record
• Penguin populations are double what was previously thought
• Global sea ice area is fifth highest on record for the month
• Alaska has the most sea ice ever recorded
• No sea level rise at Tuvalu
• The Obama White House plans to crucify CO2 emitters
• No warming for at least 15 years
• Envisat sea level rise rates tripled overnight, and the next week the satellite died
• Obama shot Osama  for the second year in a row
• Obama says Romney would have let Osama go
• Hansen promises multi-metre sea level rise again
• NASA forecasts yet another large El Nino

This is an election year, and we have the opportunity to replace the insane group of America haters which have taken full control of the US. I suggest we all use our voting rights wisely.

A lot of cold water on both sides of the Arctic, around western Europe, the Atlantic hurricane basin, and the Gulf of Mexico. Jeff Masters recently wrote that Gulf of Mexico SSTs are the highest on record.

This will slow ice melt and reduce hurricane potential. Cloud naming will likely proceed at near record pace however.

Plants need warmth, water and CO2 to grow. The increase in all three is what caused us all to starve to death in the 1970s, per Stanford’s Paul Ehrlich.

Every river between the Rockies and the Appalachian Mountains has reached its lowest point in the 75 years of official recording

A hurricane in the gulf of Mexico that swept the Texas coast yesterday caused eight known deaths. Probably 20 others were drowned, but have not yet been accounted for. Many towns were destroyed.
