I’m not worried about sea levels, says climate change expert
Meh… Lovelock’s long been a climate panicker but I’m not too convinced about the “expert” part, anymore than I am regarding Pachauri. Continue reading
Climate Change or Tectonic Shifts? The Mystery of the Sinking South Pacific Islands
Environmentalist organizations have used images from South Pacific islands to illustrate the disastrous effects of rising sea levels. But a group of French researchers has found that the problem is much more complicated: The islands are also being pulled under by shifting tectonic plates. Continue reading
In California, No Taboos Over Coastal Climate Threats
“California’s coastal resource managers are including sea-level science in their planning, but lawmakers in N. Carolina and Virginia forbid open debate.“
Um, no. NC & Va have insisted on science facts not fantasy stories, which is quite different. Continue reading

Ziggy Switkowski: Oceans of opinion on climate change
Contrary to some views, there are very few matters within the science of global warming and climate change which are simple whatever side of the debate is considered. This is especially true of certain headline numbers that colour some commentaries. Continue reading
John Droz, Jr.: Fighting AGW Religion in North Carolina (sea-level-rise debate gets political)
What’s been happening recently in North Carolina (NC) is a microcosm of the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) story: politics versus science, ad-hominems versus journalism, evangelists versus pragmatists, etc. Continue reading
N.C. Senate approves sea level calculation bill
“The North Carolina Senate has approved a bill that ignores scientists’ warnings of rising sea levels.“
When politicians are taking a far more reasoned approach than alleged scientists then we have a problem – and it isn’t the politicians. Continue reading
Just knew Andrew Freedman couldn’t resist it:
“Although it is not discussed in the CoreLogic report, sea level rise from global warming and land elevation changes is already making it easier for damaging storm surge flooding to take place, even during weaker hurricanes.“
The true part of the statement is that “sea level rise from global warming” is not mentioned. Continue reading
Virginia’s dying marshes and climate change denial
“Dying wetland trees along Virginia’s coastline are evidence that rising sea levels threaten nature and humans, scientists say – and show the limits of political action amid climate change scepticism.“
They finally get around to admitting subsidence. Continue reading

Looking at the Cause of Global Seal Level Rises
Last week the science community was shocked by the claim that 42% of the sea-level rise of the past decades is due to groundwater pumping for irrigation purposes. What could this mean for the future – and is it true? Continue reading
Global Warming Alarmists Want to Keep the Planet in an Artificial Stasis
Fretting about rising sea levels is a hallowed past-time amongst global warming types. Continue reading
Jo Nova: Man-made sea-level rises are due to global adjustments
Frank Lansner’s first graph surprised me. It’s well known and often quoted that sea levels have been rising by 2-3mm a year every year for the last 20 years. But it’s not well known that the original raw satellite data doesn’t show that at all. Continue reading
‘Editorial – General Assembly has heads buried in sand’
Climate cranks are upset politicians are listening to sound science rather than absurd and really quite hysterical claims of enormous sea level rise from imaginary catastrophic anthropogenic global warming Continue reading
Sea-level rise poses expensive questions for New York City
Mayor Michael Bloomberg has given his city one of the most detailed and highly publicized plans to reduce carbon emissions and to adapt to rising sea levels and other risks posed by climate change. Continue reading
Soaring to Sinking: How Building Up Is Bringing Shanghai Down
As land-subsidence concerns sweep across more than 50 cities in China, the country’s most populous metropolis remains among the most vulnerable Continue reading

Water use may be to blame for rising seas
SEA levels are indeed rising – but is the draining of water on land, not climate change, the main culprit? Continue reading
Paul Homewood: Is Sea Level Rise Accelerating?
It is generally accepted that sea levels increased during the 20thC at a rate of about 185mm or about 7”. Furthermore studies suggest that there was no acceleration in this rate during that time. Continue reading
Michael D. Lemonick: Long-Range Ice Forecast: Things Could Get Very Grim
Mickey D is trying to beat up fantasy sea level rises into a ‘devastating possibility’, which makes him simply FOS Continue reading
