Sorry but sea levels have not risen significantly since 1985!


No Rise In Sea Level At Tuvalu Since 1985

June 19, 2008



The Age will run on its opinion page even the most discredited of global
warming myths that a professional Friends of the Earth alarmist can
present:



The people of the Carteret Islands, a group of tiny atolls 85 kilometres
north-east of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea, are now trying to secure
funding to enable them to evacuate to Bougainville as rising sea levels
will soon make their island homes uninhabitable.



Er, that's not caused by rising seas, dear Age, but falling land.



Oh, and then there's that claim again that Tuvalu is drowning - a claim
made for so long now that it's odd it's still there. But has The Age
ever mentioned that Australian measurements on Tuvalu actually record
hardly any sea-level rise at all?



These facts are so well known that no serious newspapers should lend
premium space to air them yet again. But let's not have the facts get in
the way of a good scare in a green cause, right?

You must have a tin ear to science. Seal levels have been rising
steadily since the last ice age. Since 1900 the level has risen at 1
to 2 mm/yr; since 1993 satellite altimetry from TOPEX/Poseidon
indicates a rate of rise of 3.1 ? 0.7 mm yr-1 . Church and White
(2006) found a sea-level rise from January 1870 to December 2004 of
195 mm, a 20th century rate of sea-level rise of 1.7 ? 0.3 mm per yr
and a significant acceleration of sea-level rise of 0.013 ? 0.006 mm
per year. If this acceleration remains constant, then the 1990 to 2100
rise would range from 280 to 340 mm. Sea-level rise can be a product
of global warming through two main processes: thermal expansion of sea
water and widespread melting of land ice. Global warming is predicted
to cause significant rises in sea level over the course of the twenty-
first century.

You know, you've lost the arguement on GW. The debate is over, except for
the feeble minded who still see the sun revolving around a flat earth.
Did you know that men landed on the moon in the sixties or are you also
among those who deny that too?

Is this the right way of argumentation on GW you mentioned?

EXACTLY!

No significant rise in sea levels since 1985!
When you have to measure the rise in mm then it's not significant!!

Sea level changes of 2 or 3 mm a year are difficult to measure,
without a ground reference, any measurement is meaningless, and the
ground at different places can either be rising or falling.

The solid Earth rises about a foot when the moon is over head,
so a measurement over a ten year period has to account for where the
moon was during the measurement.


Wiki is a wonderful source of interesting information, but is
hardly an indisputable source.



And the talk of future changes is in the same class as witchcraft,
with apparently the same purpose.

Don't forget tectonics. Landmasses ups and downs.

Right, and a good basic approach could be found in continental drift
and/or activities of earth's core.

My words ^^
We can't do anything against the evolution, least of all playing God
and fight against nature with funds.
Just sit back, relax and watch this all, like Thunderbar postet yesterday:

I think the north Europe Atlantic coast is still rising
since the melting of the ice sheet there, but I have no idea of
what reference can be used to determine the rise or fall of either
landmass or sea to within 10 centimeters.

The portion of the tides caused by the sun is about a third
of that of the moon (I think), and the distance to the sun can vary
in avery irregular manner, so any changes that are not substantial
should be ignored for a few years to see if they are permanent.
