Couple more hysteric myths busted in recent days, although the traditional media will ignore this so it is hard for people to access facts and truth. As we know from reading such media, every forest in the world is burning up and all the ice is melting and the sea level rising to swamp the coasts so everyone will have to live in the mountains. Except it isn’t. This study shows that there is no acceleration in sea level rise. We are and have been in an interglacial period, during which sea level always slowly rises, until the solar cycles begin to lower temperatures on Earth and we get more ice and sea level starts to go down. Wouldn’t that be a lovely period of time for human life?
Sea level has been higher before, we are likely near the peak for this interglacial cycle. The continents also sink at some coasts, which may give the appearance of sea level rise. And human activities along coast also affect apparent sea level. Sea level is generally measured by satellites or tidal gauges. The study examined sea level measurements around the world. First of all, the authors note extremely poor coverage, bad data collection and other methodological issues. But after sorting through the data they found no statistically significant acceleration in sea level rise. And that the climate hysteria groups had exaggerated the trend by messing with the data analysis. What this means is that it is very unlikely that human activities, i.e., CO2 releases, are doing anything to the existing natural sea level change trend. (MDP Article)
Forest fires analysis are similarly intentionally manipulated to create a scary-looking outcome. A group of hysteric authors published, after the usual pathetic “peer (i.e., other hysterics)” and editorial review, a analysis of wildfire data that attempted to link supposed increases in “extreme wildfires” to climate change. They got busted by another group and the formally prestigious, now ideologically driven Nature had to publish the corrective study. The revisions show that there likely is no such increase. But this is a good example of how hysterics take a complex phenomenon and design a way to “analyze” it that supports the human-caused global warming lie. (Nature Article)
