The climate alarmists have been yammering on about globull warming killing us all as it raises the oceans – a notion that Al Gore must disagree with, considering his purchase of a McMansion right near the Pacific – even though sea level rise has being going on since the end of the last Ice Age. Of course, in Climate Alarmist World, the only thing that matters is a section of dates, never older than 1850, and usually only after 1980. That meme has been rather destroyed
Global warming advocates say rising sea levels will soon drown Venice. But a top scientist says they’re full of hot air — and he says he’s got the data to prove it.
In a new scientific paper, Nils-Axel Morner, former emeritus head of the paleogeophysics and geodynamics department at Stockholm University in Sweden, says that observational records from around the world — locations like the Maldives, Bangladesh, India, Tuvalu and Vanuatu — show the sea level isn’t rising at all.
Morner’s research, revealed Monday at the fourth International Conference on Climate Change, demonstrates that there is no “alarming sea level rise†across the globe, and it says a U.N. report warning of coastal cities being deluged by rising waters from melting polar ice caps “is utterly wrong.â€
Of course, he’ll be assaulted by the alarmists as a shill for Big Oil or something. That is the way it works in Liberal World. Attack the messenger, not rebut the message.
“The tiger of global warming has lost its teeth. Maybe it’s not even a real tiger any more. Maybe it is a blown-up dummy,†Morner said at the conference.
For his paper, Morner looked at the sea-level changes in major metropolitan cities around the globe — including Venice, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Mumbai, as well as islands such as the Maldives. A total of 159 stations were used for the research. His study showed that there was a maximum of 3 millimeters of sea level rise in some locales around the world, and many coastal cities showed no rise at all.
This is contrary to the Nobel Prize-winning fourth report of the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which indicated in 2007 that Bangladesh was “doomed†because of rising tide levels prompted by man-made global warming.
“The sea is not rising there,†Morner said. “It is stable.â€
The difference, he said, is one of theory vs. reality.
The difference is one of computer models and hysteria vs. direct observation and actual data.
Now, even if there was sea rise happening, it still wouldn’t prove anthropogenic global warming. The natural world does what the natural world wants to.
Oceanographers at UC Santa Cruz have published reports that even during the sauna conditions 91 million years ago that only about 40 percent of the ice actually melted.
If you extrapolate that out…..that amounts to 200 inches of sea level increase and IPCC states that even that will take THOUSANDS of years to accomplish.
Im sorta thinking we will have eliminated fossil fuels long before 1000’s of years are up.
Global cooling moonbats are now saying that the earth is in imminent danger of turning into a giant ice planet. They also now say that the sea level is actually dropping and that the oceans will soon be empty. Teach do you support those outrageous claims ?
Actually, there are many who are talking about a slight cooling trend, similar to the time period from the mid 40’s through the late 70’s, John, which could last about 30 years. they have looked at historical data, and it bears these kinds of things out. The sea level does seem to be going down, at the moment. It has also, as I pointed out, been going up for around 18,000 years. Such is nature.
I do find it humorous that you folks on the left who defend darwinism to the point of extremism can say that it is all random chance by nature, survival of the fittest, things move forward, yet, all changes in the climate are caused by Mankind.
Teach one paper by one scientist destroyed all previous scientific work ?? WOW !!

I figured your head would explode over this article.
See, you are so wedded and bound to an idea that you are unable to look at any other scientific data that contradicts your notion of what is going on.
That is morally and scientifically dishonest.
the oceans will soon be empty
Link please, you lying, God-Damned bastard. Prove your claim.
Look, I know you guys don’t like to believe in AGW, but let’s face the facts – it’s significantly hotter where I live than it was even just four months ago in January.
Explain THAT, Einsteins. And don’t give me some malarkey about ’tilt of the Earth’. It’s because of AGW!
The South Pole ice is mainly on rock so if it all melted, sea levels would rise. However, the North Pole ice is mostly floating on the Arctic Sea. Now I’m not a scientist, but I am a heavy drinker and I know that when my ice cubes melt, the glass does not overflow but actually the level of the glass goes down a lot. Wouldn’t melting ice caps in the south be offset by the melting in the north?
On a related note, back when the “Ozone Hole” was the latest scare, I used to piss off hippies by asking a simple question. If pollution causes a hole in the ozone layer, why is this hole appearing in the least polluted place on earth? Whatever happened to that ozone scare anyways?
Fozzy~ they discovered that cfcs did not have all that much to do with it, as it is a Natural function of the atmosphere to flucuate like that.
