A 30-year-old sea level rise projection has basically come true

WTF?

mhaze states: "And the predictions were based on data." Well of course they were - known data at that time and the models available at that time.

The actual future data is unknown - you do get that don't you mhaze?

That's why it called a prediction.

We do not know the actual data until after it was been collected.

And now that data has been collected the scientific analysis is that:

Global sea levels have risen about nine centimetres – very close to the eight predicted by the U.N. report.

mhaze you are wrong when you said ""And what did SAR predict for sea levels through to 2025. Nothing". Your own source contradicted you.

mhaze you are wrong when you said "you eyeballed to make the 8cm prediction claim is based on one AND ONLY ONE graph-line."

mhaze you are wrong when you said " A claim that actual sea levels rose 9cm when none of the major agencies and data sets show such a number. Yet you want to pretend otherwise."

Hey, but don't take my word for it.

Dr. Torbjörn Törnqvis and his team analysed the known data and compared it to the IPCC predictions and came to this conclusion:
"Global sea levels have risen about nine centimetres – very close to the eight predicted by the U.N. report."

I think those who doubt sea level rise should buy a home as close to the seashore as possible.
In a few years, they might find the sea lapping at their front gate.
That should make them think.
If they can?

"Hey, but don't take my word for it. Dr. Torbjörn Törnqvis and his team analysed......"

Oh dear. So your entire argument here is that someone else told it it was true and you've decided to believe them without checking.

Well I checked and found that their claims about how much sea levels have risen isn't supported by any major dataset. But you go on outsourcing your checking if that's how you work.

And I checked and found that their claims about what was predicted by SAR was a monumental cherry-pick by carefully selecting one data point out of the dozens available. But you go on outsourcing your checking if that's how you work.

Just asserting I'm wrong because someone else told you fables isn't a good look.

What I find most astonishing here is that you can't even bring yourself to acknowledge that all the world's major datasets show sea level rises different to what your gurus have told you to believe.

But I see this so much among the climate true believers. A blind faith in their gurus which obviates the need to actually see if they are being truthful or 'scientific'.

I'll bear that in mind if you get around to sticking your head above the parapet again. But in the meantime.... I'm done.

Well no one here is doubting sea level rise.

But just on buying a sea-front house, perhaps you should check what those who claim to fully believe the sea level predictions have done.

Bill Gates famously bought a house in Seattle that is true water front, even though he was, at the time, telling anyone who'd listen that the seas were going to rise by a metre. (Although to be fair, Gates has now seen the light and is no longer a climate fool.)

Then there's Al Gore who made a reported $300 million by telling the world that we were all gunna die if we didn't mend our evil ways. He currently owns 3 waterfront properties in various parts of the US. Somehow he doesn't think the rising sea levels are going to affect him!!

and then there is the lightbringer (aka Obama) who made a career based on climate scares. What did he do upon retirement having spent a decade telling us to mend out evil ways. He bought, and still owns, an absolute water-front property in Martha's Vineyard.

As has been said before, I'll believe the doom-mongers when they start living their lives the way they tell us we have to live ours

Nine cm sea level rise they claim. Again, I want to draw attention to billions upon billions of tonnes of artificial water displacement by shipping & land reclamation which simply can not have no impact on sea level !
