The Past Half-Century of Sea Level Rise

[MrOllyK]

Fact: The climate has always changed and always will.

Fact: Temperature change PRECEDES CO2 level change by average 800 years.

Fact: 1000 years ago temp was much higher than today without man's influence.

Fact: The IPCC uses graphs starting only 200 years ago from the end of the little ice age to assert AGW.

Fact: REAL science is being stifled by the IPCC and Govt.

Fact: Cooling is worse as grain doesn't grow in ice.

Fact: We've been cooling for the last 9 years!

The evidence that the sea level in all of the Pacific islands is not changing is unequivocal.

The Pacific Island Sea Level Project was launched by the Australians in 1991. Using scientists from Flinders University, Adelaide and state-of-the-art SEAFRAME equipment kept perfectly level by GOPS, first time used in sea level measurements.

It is clear from these measurements that there has been no change in sea level at any one of the PISLP sites since the

start, which for most goes back to 1992.

Global Warming would NOT in fact rise Global sea levels.

Think of it this way if you put a bottle of water in a freezer, the water in the bottle actually expands rather than contracts. Which would mean if all the worlds ice caps melted the sea levels in our oceans would decrease. Ice weighs more than Water.

its the land ice that gets us, like Antarctica and greenland

H2O is the only molecule which grows upon freezing. By expanding with solidifying temperatures does not imply it gains mass. It doesn't. Ice, is solid h2o, a mass of liquid water weighs the same solid as liquid., that is with all other factors the same.

For glacial melt there is no mention of the equalizing effect of isostasy on the sea floor (as accepted for land masses) in measuring the rate of sea level rise. The isostatic effect should nearly have a 1/3 drop ratio of the sea floor, since the added water is only about 1/3 the mass of displaced sea floor rock, which is ultimately displaced out under the land masses and decreases the sea level rise by 1/3 of the expected measurement. Is isostasy a factor in your data?

Thank you,

JonThm doesn't know beans about physics.

When water freezes it expands and floats in water as it displaces it's own weight, therefore when it melts it neither raises or lowers the water level. Try putting some ice cubes in a container and record the water level before and after the ice melts.

CO2 Science is a first rate science cite with all it's material peer reviewed. Another good site is Icecap.

Even though the Earth has been cooling since 1998 the AGW fear mongers still beat their drums.

JonThm doesn't know beans about physics.

Water expands when it freezes but displaces its weight in water so when it melts the volume it displaces neither rise or falls.

You can try this experiment with ice in water in a glass.

CO2 Science is an excellent for real climate science and all of it's material is peer reviewed. Another good site is Icecap.

The Earth is cooling but still the AGW hysteria continues mostly due to power and money, as always.

There was a record low tide in Scotland in 2003. When ice melts to water, it contracts, so any global warming sends the seas lower. But the world has been cooling from 2005. Which obviously, you refer to.
