Climate Change and Sea Level Rise

Sea level rise.
It's been the subject of myth, legend and pop culture for millenia.

It is going to be one of the major destructive effects of global climate change.
So naturally, its something that makes deniers do and say crazy things.

A scientist, Doug Lord working for the NSW government here in Australia did extensive research on sea levels in Sydney.

He is a warmist, and naturally was looking for acceleration in the sea level rise, to confirm his suspicions about AGW.

Instead, he found a deceleration in the rise. His research shows 100mm rise in the 20th century, and predicts 70mm for the 21st.

(NSW govt policy is in line with IPCC; 890mm)

He was sacked by the NSW govt for producing science "against the public interest".

@Besetho

I see. he looked at some points around Sydney, and extrapolated to the whole ocean?

probably good they sacked him.

I like what you're doing, but you also tend to cloud the issue. Coming out of the last ice age, eustatic sea-level rose by over 120m. Humans did not cause this, this is a naturally occuring phenomenon. Are you also concerned about the much larger, more significant natural variations our planet can throw at us? If utilize scare projections to get people to change behavior, should we not also use them to propose a complete human dominance of climate, and control it on a global scale?

@SchrodingersEconomy

the orbital changes that take us into and out of ice ages act on the scale of thousands of years, as opposed to a century or two like we are doing now.

There are no orbital effects currently warming the planet - see

watch?v=L2m9SNzxJJA

All things being equal - we would not need to be concerned about orbital effects for some 20,000 or so years, at least, in the future.

So, No.

I'm not also concerned about those effects for right now.

Another disater scenario.

Again mostly nonsense.

One of the foremost experts on sea level -with 35 years experience (Dr Nils-Axel Mörner) has done extensive research into the claim that sea levels are or will rise dangerously.

His research has centered on the low-lying Maldives. simply put;

He says that the IPCC's catastrophic claims (WRE 450 to WRE1000) are "NONSENSE".

His research shows that by 2100 we can expect the sea level to change between NOTHING and +20cm. Most likely being 10cm (4")

@Besetho

morner is a nut. google his fascination with dousing and bizarre archeological theories.

He knows less than nothing about sea level or anything else. I'll be doing some vids on sea level coming soon, so stay tuned.

It's essentially the same technique the Egyptians used.

@Besetho ; Okay, I give up. What the bloody anal fuck is a "warmist?"

[Besetho]

@greenman3610

Thought you would agree with the NSW government.

His offense was to use the scientific method, and then report his findings.

This is now almost a capital offense here in Australia.

He was sacked, and his co-author warned (he also works for the NSW govt)

Their paper was also pulled just before publication (it had already passed peer review)

@greenman3610

Unfortunately it is not only Morner who is saying this.

Two scientists working for the NSW government here in Australia did extensive research on sea levels in Sydney.

They are both warmists, and naturally were looking for an accelleration in the sea level rise, to confirm their suspicians about AGW.

Instead, they found a decelleration in the rise. Their research shows 100mm rise in the 20th century, and predict 70mm for the 21st.

They were sacked by the NSW govt.
