The Sea Level Isn't Rising as Predicted

[longknife]

More dire predictions down the drain. Was it that long ago that AlGore told us major coastal cities would be forced to shut down as the inhabitants fled the rising seas?



Despite the accelerated melting of glaciers and ice sheets, sea levels aren�t rising quite as quickly as scientists anticipated. The reason: Continents are absorbing more of the water before it flows into the seas, according to a new study.

Oh wow....even by your most optimistic numbers there, the sea has risen a whole 200mm in the last 120 years. 200 sounds like a lot, until you realize that's 7.8 inches.

If you go with the trending of 2.71 mm/year....you get a whopping 10.7 more INCHES over the next 100 years. That's assuming it stays that high, which is laughable to suggest there's even the most remote capability to estimate that with any measure of reliability.

A very far cry indeed from the 10-20 FEET some of your idiots have been predicting will happen in the next decade.

At this rate maybe in a 1000 years this will be a problem. By then hopefully they'll have some clue how climate/weather really works. Right now it's a whole lot of WAG.

Notice the change in slope in the graphs? A one meter rise by 2100 would put most of our coastal cities in trouble. A two meter rise would be catastrophic.

Aww, man...

... ya mean Uncle Ferd...

... gotta take the pontoons...

...off'n the side of the trailer?

 

[elektra]

another lie from crack, where are your links to the garbage you post, colored pictures are not science, link to the science, not the colored pictures meant for the global warming alarmists.

Damn, a nuclear technician incapable of reading a graph. Wonder if Elektra got his certification at the same place as Silly Billy got his degree in Atmospheric Physics. LOL

So, we see you've never had a class in even rudimentary calculus.

We went from 0.6mm/yr to 3.3mm/yr in one century. In the next century, since the world tends to look to idiots like you to affirm their cowardice and ignorance, that rate should rise to (3.3/0.6)*3.3mm/yr, or 18.15mm/yr. Thus at the current rate of acceleration, sea level should rise 85 yrs *((3.3+18.15)/2) = 911.625 mm by the end of this century. That's 2.99 feet, fool.

And that is assuming that one of the grounded Antarctic shelves does not break up.

In the real world graphs are a tiny, tiny, tiny, bit of almost nothing when compared to the lifelong careers of these scientists and the mountains of data they accumulate. Analyzing the data we accumulate takes a team of people, over 50 of us, sometimes on big jobs it is close to a 100.
We have books of documents to help with our job called Procedures and Guidelines.

So without links to the studies, the graph you grab off a google search is really meaningless.

Arctic sea ice extent during January averaged 13.53 million square kilometers (5.2 million square miles

In 2008 when Al Gore made the prediction that coastal cities would disapear, the Arctic sea ice extent was

7.3 million square miles of Arctic ice on Dec. 7, 2008

Arctic sea ice has doubled and now the Scientist say yes, we found out why and predict even more ice and with a few billion dollars more, we will be able to predict the future even better?

Not only wrong, but the exact opposite happened, now the same scientist want more of our money to tell us why they were wrong in the past? So they can save us in the future, ths time, honest.

That is complete and utter bullshit.

www.nsidc.org

correct, your graph is as you describe it

 

[Crick]

Yo, whizbrain, 1 square mile = 2.59 square kilometers.

What you fucked up was the comment that Arctic ice extents are now double that of December 2008.

 

[edthecynic]

sea levels aren't rising quite as quickly

Another Obama campaign promise kept.

 

[Crick]

Sea level is rising at 3.3 mm/year and accelerating.

Al Gore is not a climate scientist.

Anyone who thinks arguing with the statements of Al Gore is meaningful today is a complete fucking moron.
