The Sydney Morning Herald says sea level is going to rise to catastrophic levels, due to melting of “sea ice glaciers.”

Hotter oceans, wilder weather, less ice: the IPCC upgrades projections to catastrophic

There is no such thing as a “sea ice glacier” – and if there was it wouldn’t add to sea level, as Archimedes determined thousands of years ago.  There has been almost no sea level rise outside the offices of SMH over the past 120 years. They should probably look outside the window.

It took me about thirty seconds to research the accuracy of the graph. The Red Cross described 1927 as the worst year in history, reporting 111 disasters – including 29 tornadoes, 24 floods, 9 hurricanes and 23 fires. The worst floods in US history occurred that year. The Mississippi River was flooded for more than six months, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to abandon their homes permanently. Vermont’s worst flood also occurred in November, 1927.
