Global Sea Level: An Enigma - Perspectives on Ocean Science

The rate of global sea level rise and its causes has been debated for a century.  Despite 100 years of scientific scrutiny, no definitive conclusion has been reached.  Join Dr. Walter Munk as he describes why 20th century sea level rise remains an enigma, and why scientists still grapple with whether seawater warming or continental ice melting had the greatest influence.

industrial revolution is considered to end around 1850 perhaps he meant 1850 (which is a date marked in his plot) and slipped 1950.

Sea level anomalies compare favourably with GOCE data. It's over.

CO2 absorbs 3.5% of the light volume on two narrow bands with no perceived tropo heating on 6 of 7 databases.

The Suns 180 yr cycle is about to hit us hard within a decade. Mark my words.

Then maybe there is still a need for more research to finally conclude on this matter. Give it some more time and effort. Everything will pay off in the end. If not in our generation, who knows when.

at 18:50 Munk says that CO2 from industrial sources didn't begin to kick in until 1950s.

What about he period from 1920 to 1950 wasn't that already an significant increase in CO2 related to back ground levels?

anyone out there have an answer or suggestion?
