Sea level rise – not so much

Thanks to Richard Tol for alerting me to a new paper by Torben Schmith and Peter Thejll of the Danish Meteorological Institute and Søren Johansen of the University of Copenhagen. Johansen is an econometrician and an expert in co-integration, a technique that the new paper applies to the question of sea level rise. Continue reading

Councils warned foreshore and esplanade areas may not escape rising sea levels

COASTAL councils have been warned they will not be able to save some esplanade areas from rising sea levels caused by climate change. Continue reading

Southern states fight high estimates of sea level rise; NC temporarily bans panel’s findings

And they are correct to ignore the nonsense generated through PlayStation® climatology. Continue reading

C3H: Global Warming Science Facts: Top 3 Reasons Not To Worry About Rising Sea Levels

Good news, the global warming science facts and reality prevail – the scary, dangerous rising sea level predictions are essentially a myth Continue reading

Rising sea levels throughout metro Vancouver putting landmarks at risk

Vancouver is at risk of losing landmark communities like Granville Island and False Creek unless the city starts taking measures to defend its shoreline against rising sea levels, an urban planner warns. Continue reading

Doug L. Hoffman: Why Are Sea Levels So Low?

The last interglacial period (LIG)—the Eemian—is commonly believed by scientists to have been warmer than the current Holocene interglacial. Continue reading

UN urges international community not to turn its back on Tuvalu over climate change

Same old nonsense. Odd that they keep trying to blame global warming, in a way, because sea levels are higher around Tuvalu during La Niña events when the world trends cooler than they are during El Niño events when it trends warmer due to the deformation of the Pacific Ocean sea surface lens. Continue reading

James D. Agresti: Will global warming flood the coasts of the United States?

Two new studies are predicting accelerated sea-level rises on the East and West coasts of the United States, primarily due to global warming. Major media outlets—and in some ways the studies themselves—have painted a distorted picture of past, current, and future sea levels. In fact, the studies actually conflict with each other, a crucial fact that has gone unreported in news reports that have mentioned both of the studies. Continue reading

Aus: 90-year approval suggested for coastal homes

NEW buildings on the coast should be given a time limited approval of up to 90 years in case of sea level rise from climate change, a review of NSW’s planning laws has found. Continue reading

Pierre Gosselin: German Survey Of Recent Scientific Literature Shows No Signs Of Accelerated Sea Level Rise

Geologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt have sifted through recent scientific literature looking for evidence that global sea level rise has accelerated over the last 3 decades. Continue reading

Another eye-roller from Michael D. Lemonick: Sea Level Rise: It Could Be Worse than We Think

A new analysis released Thursday in the journal Science implies that the seas could rise dramatically higher over the next few centuries than scientists previously thought — somewhere between 18-to-29 feet above current levels, rather than the 13-to-20 feet they were talking about just a few years ago. Continue reading

Usual nonsense: Tuvalu; enviro refugees; global warming; sea levels

Hockey Schtick: New paper finds sea levels in Japan were 2 meters higher 4,000 years ago, when ‘melting of the Antarctic ice sheet ended’

A paper published today in Geophysical Research Letters finds that the sea level in northern Japan was 2 meters higher than the present 4,000 years ago. Continue reading

Andrew Bolt: Solid foundations of alarm

The ABC reports on global warming conference in Cairns:

A foundation of facts established that ocean temperatures have climbed by half a degree in the past decade, ocean acidity has increased by 25 per cent and sea levels have risen by around 30 centimetres.

Really? A rise of 30cms in a decade?

Justin Norrie: Melting ice the greatest factor in rising sea levels

Melting glaciers and ice sheets have contributed more to rising sea levels in the past decade than expansion from warming water, according to modelling in the latest report by the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems (ACE) Cooperative Research Centre. Continue reading

Rise in sea level can’t be stopped: scientists

Rising sea levels cannot be stopped over the next several hundred years, even if deep emissions cuts lower global average temperatures, but they can be slowed down, climate scientists said in a study on Sunday. Continue reading

Climate change bill draws handful of protesters

As N.C. House committee members were wrapping up up their work on legislation to guide North Carolina’s position on climate change, a handful of protesters showed up Tuesday to say the state must not hide from scientific evidence on rising sea levels. Continue reading

Pierre Gosselin: California Sea Level Rise Is Slowing Down, Ignores The Modelers

On Friday, June 22nd, 2012, the The National Academy of Science issued a press release titled, “California Sea Level Projected to Rise at Higher Rate Than Global Average; Slower Rate for Oregon, Washington, But Major Earthquake Could Cause Sudden Rise”. Just in time for Rio+20. Continue reading

Rising seas mean shrinking South Florida future, experts say

Under current projections, the Atlantic would swallow much of the Florida Keys and Miami-Dade in a century, according to experts at a sea-level rise summit Continue reading
