A Dutch study has found that global warming/climate change is not raising sea levels. Levels have not continued to rise as predicted.

The result is based on “real world” data rather than satellite pictures and models. And, 200 tide gauges that have been accurate for 60 years.

Natural oscillations occurred between 1993 and 2020. Nothing since then.

That is important knowledge for Holland, fair bit of which is below sea level.

Climate change cannot be stopped.

There have been over 150 instances of community-led opposition to renewable energy projects across Australia since 2008, in rural areas where our food is produced.

Albanese would have us importing food as well as everything else.

The loss of food production is just collateral damage to the Net Zero vandals.

Only 21% of Australians now believe NZ by 2050 is worth it.

No, it hasn't, ttbn.

//A Dutch study has found that global warming/climate change is not raising sea levels.//

It claimed a recent slowdown in sea level rise based on a subset of tide gauges, not that sea levels aren’t rising. Satellite data (which the study ignores) shows clear, accelerating rise above 3 mm per year - and 2023 saw one of the largest annual spikes ever recorded.

//The result is based on 'real world' data rather than satellite pictures and models.//

Misleading.

Satellite altimetry is real-world data - just with better coverage and accuracy. Every major climate science body uses both tide gauges and satellites, precisely because each captures different aspects of sea level dynamics.

//Climate change cannot be stopped.//

Is this a re-framing of the long-clarified "The climate's always changing"? It’s not pragmatism, it’s just nihilism dressed up as tough love.

//There have been over 150 instances of community-led opposition to renewable energy projects across Australia since 2008...//

Correct, and thousands of projects proceeded without issue. Resistance to local infrastructure isn’t new or unique to renewables. NIMBYism is not a climate policy.

//Albanese would have us importing food...//

Solar panels cover <1% of Australian farmland. The real threat to agricultural land is urban sprawl, not wind farms. Also: solar farms can coexist with grazing. We’re not choosing between crops and electrons.

//Only 21% of Australians now believe NZ by 2050 is worth it.//

That figure is from a single ambiguous Lowy poll question. Broader polling consistently shows majority support for net-zero targets and renewable energy investment.

Context matters.

55% of people polled by Compass opted for the use of coal to reduce electricity bills.

But, neither member of the uniparty takes notice of its members or supporters because they are obsessed with a mythical “centre”.
