No Sea Level Rise says Isle of the Dead

[Crick]

Is that your response? The water isn't rising? Who says so? Who says so with more credibility than the University of Colorado Sea Level Group?

 

[Old Rocks]

Why are we wasting our time looking at sea level trends at specific locations? Has the Earths population all moved to Wake Island while no one was looking?

Here is the data we need to look at. Yours is meaningless.

nice graph, but the fact is the water isn't rising. So a pretty little graph. Did you color it?

And you say that why? What is your education such that you are capable of making a credible judgement. Perhaps you are more capable than all the scientists whose work created that graph?

dude, look around the globe and you see no exodus of people away from the ocean. It ain't happening no matter how much you want it to. The reason? No sea rise. BTW, you still haven't posted where there has been sea rise.

Life observation and research. I haven't found anywhere in the globe where your line matches up. Name a place.

you can point to the sky and say green all day, I know it is blue. You can post graphs and charts to show why and I'll look up and see blue. You are competing against reality not some mumbo jumbo book.

My favorite part is when they claim the sea level is rising in some places, but not others.

i know, it cracks me up. Their best response is that it is. That's it. It is, no proof, they pull these records out someone's ass and then post in here smelling up the forum. Should leave it in their asses and save us the smell. Cause the shit stinks in here. Are you aware of anyone leaving their home due to sea rise? I know Key West is still as active as evah. If there was sea rise, there wouldn't be keys anymore. Hawaii still has beaches, so the water hasn't made it to the streets, so where the fk is it rising? in the satellites? Shit those are in space. Me thinks that would be impossible. I'm stepping out there. (sarc)

If either of you had a better grasp of basic science you might not make such ignorant observations.

We have tides because of the moon. The moon may be a sizeable object, but it is a long ways away. Look how small it actually appears in our sky. Now take the mass of a mountain range near a coast line or the lack of mass presented by a deep ocean trench. What effect do you think they might have on the contours of the ocean surface? On the gravitic normal?

Perhaps if there really was evidence, it would be available. Hawaii and Key West still there and no one is panicking. My evidence.

:: Sea-level Rise :: CSIRO ::

Regional trends
Sea level does not rise (or fall) uniformly over the oceans. This is illustrated by the map (below) showing sea-level trends from 1993 to 2015. There is a clear pattern of sea-level change that is also reflected in patterns of ocean heat storage.

This pattern reflects interannual climate variability associated with the El Niño/La Niña cycle and the Indian Ocean Dipole, but also longer term changes such as the increase in sea levels in the Western Tropical Pacific due to changes in the Trade Winds. During El Niño years sea level rises in the eastern Pacific and falls in the western Pacific, whereas in La Niña years the opposite is true.

Perhaps some people should really look at the evidence instead of mindlessly flapping yap.

Encroaching Tides in the Florida Keys
© Rob O’Neal/Florida Trend Magazine

Parts of Key West’s famous Duval Street now fail to drain after rainstorms.

Sea Level rise and Tidal Flooding along the Atlantic Coast By 2045, the sea level in the Florida Keys will rise 15 inches, according to a projection by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (SFRCCC Sea Level Rise Working Group 2015). As a result, the city of Key West—the economic powerhouse of Monroe County, Florida—would see more than 300 tidal flooding events per year within the lifetime of today’s 30-year mortgages. The flooding that wreaks periodic havoc on the city’s small business hubs like Duval Street, for example, would occur regularly. Key West already suffers from flooding during extreme high tides, with water washing into streets, businesses, and homes, particularly when those tides combine with rainfall (Sweet et al. 2014). The flooding will worsen as the sea level rises, threatening the county’s primary economic driver: a $2.2 billion tourism industry that attracts almost 3 million people to the Keys each year (Monroe County 2014; Monroe County n.d.). Moreover, the intrusion of salt water that can accompany rising sea levels threatens the region’s unique ecosystems and the Keys’ primary freshwater supply (Obeysekera et al. 2011). And storms riding on higher seas can flood larger areas, putting more residential and commercial property at risk. Yet some of this vulnerability can be reduced: investing in coastal preparedness measures can go a long way toward protecting the infrastructure, private property, and livelihood of Keys residents.

Ah yes, the Corps of Engineers are very worried about the Florida Keys. With good reason.

I would think Old Crock would give up, whenever the Crock posts a link, it shows himself to be wrong.

Colorado doesn't even border an ocean! WTF Do they know about sea levels!??

^Guam, a DENIER!!! Island that refuses to acknowledge rising sea levels

Do you know the difference between evidence and an observation?

Ah, another of my favorite really dumb asses chimes in. Thanks for once again demonstrating the vastness of the ignorance on the far right. Yes, the sea level does vary from place to place for a number of different reasons.

Sea Levels Rising Fast on U.S. East Coast

Sea levels worldwide are expected to rise as global warming melts ice and causes water to expand. Those levels, though, are expected to vary from place to place, due to factors such as ocean currents, differences in seawater temperature and saltiness, and the Earth's shape.

Now it seems scientists have pinpointed just such a variance.

Analyzing tide-level data from much of North America, U.S. Geological Survey scientists unexpectedly found that sea levels in the 600-mile (1,000-kilometer) stretch of coast from Cape Hatteras (map), North Carolina, to the Boston area climbed by about 2 to 3.8 millimeters a year, on average, between 1950 and 2009.

Global sea level rise averaged about 0.6 to 1 millimeter annually over the same period.

"If you talk with residents of this hot spot area in their 70s or 80s who've lived there all their lives, they'll tell you water is coming higher now in winter storms than it ever did before," said study co-author Peter Howd, an oceanographer contracted with the USGS.
