Remember when Australia had a big inland Sea? Well we are going to have that again when the Ice Caps melt. However to get that result the continent plate will lower about 20 meters. We will not ever see this sea in our lifetime, so the science cannot be proved by us. Myself I currently live at 19 meters above sea level, and in the next few months will move to be 2 meters above sea level on Lake frontage.

Is has supposedly risen 150mm in the last 100 years. Though the old fishermen moored in the local harbour deny any change in the ocean level.

The two longest tide gauge records at Fort Denison in Sydney Harbour and at Fremantle in Western Australia indicate a sea level trend of 0.73 mm/yr at Fort Denison and a trend of 1.78 mm/yr at Fremantle. Both of these Australian determinations may include changes in the reference datum relative to the International Frame (IRF) due to the vertical movement of land

pseudo-Josephus just asked us:

"Remember when Australia had a big inland sea?"

When I tell him I cannot remember it he will tell me "There, see how ignorant you are. No wonder you believe what the scientific community is saying about AGW / climate."

And here I was thinking that the deniers were just being dishonest and untrustworthy and believing that scientists were the honest and trustworthy ones.

Mr Self-Opinionated

You're an "environmental sociologist."

So .... what's the relevant data set in any given climate policy?

Obviously you can't claim any justification for any climate policy withou it so .... what is it, feller?

And you're saying government has no interest in the knowledge of the data set, right?

Yes?

Correct?

Do you think your slimy evasions are not transparently obvious?

Cumberland,

You can't draw me into one of your pseudo-scientific arguments.

The attempts by you AGW / climate deniers to discredit the scientific community is deceitful and dishonest.

It's similar to Holocaust deniers trying to discredit historians.

The only things that matter to the deniers of AGW / climate are money and themselves.

Cumberland, you will not get any intelligent answers from Mr OH!! He can only regurgitate what his lecturers and text books have told him, and they are not there to prompt him now. He follows the Climate science of Tim Flannery, as they can tell the future you know; like, "the dams will never again be full so start up the declination plants".

Dear Josephus,

Well that was pretty disingenuous of you wasn't it. Just referring to the century long trend but not how it is accelerating, even though that information was on the site you cited.

Here it is folks;

"In Australia, the trend in sea level has been calculated from long term averaged tide gauge records and satellite altimetry:

1900 to 2011 sea level trend = 1.2 mm/year

1966 to 2011 sea level trend = 1.7 mm/year

1993 to 2011 sea level trend = 4.6 mm/year"

Just another stark illustration of an expected result of the impact of climate change.
