Polar temperatures over the last several million years have, at times, been slightly warmer than today, yet global mean sea level has been 6–9 metres higher as recently as the Last Interglacial (130,000 to 115,000 years ago) and possibly higher during the Pliocene epoch (about three million years ago). In both cases the Antarctic ice sheet has been implicated as the primary contributor, hinting at its future vulnerability. Here we use a model coupling ice sheet and climate dynamics—including previously underappreciated processes linking atmospheric warming with hydrofracturing of buttressing ice shelves and structural collapse of marine-terminating ice cliffs—that is calibrated against Pliocene and Last Interglacial sea-level estimates and applied to future greenhouse gas emission scenarios. Antarctica has the potential to contribute more than a metre of sea-level rise by 2100 and more than 15 metres by 2500, if emissions continue unabated. In this case atmospheric warming will soon become the dominant driver of ice loss, but prolonged ocean warming will delay its recovery for thousands of years.

Yeah the problem isn't that sea levels are rising, they have risen far higher than they are now many times as you said. The problem is that our ancestors ignorantly built our major cities at the shorelines during the end of the little ice age. Now we are reaping the natural repercussions from the shorlines moving closer toward their more baseline levels. It's not really anyone's fault, just unfortunate timing to discover and populate a new world.

Do it yourself. I'm not your errand boy.

Sea levels have been rising for a long time. The lie is about an acceleration in the sea level rise. You call yourself a scientist and don't know the meaning of "acceleration?"


 

Go look at the tide gauges on NOAA.gov. None show an acceleration in the rate of sea level change, going back to before 1900 in some cases.


 

As a scientist, are you OK with the scientists on NASA.gov lying about an acceleration?

You're talking to a wall, and a very ignorant one.

 

In his Imaginationland, it's perfectly acceptable for science not to be pure science, but partisan science.

 

The money corrupts.

Acceleration is the differential change in velocity. Sea level rise is accelerating. If the measured change in sea level is multiple times higher than the average for that particular area, then the sea level rise is accelerating.

What if the average for that particular area was wrong to begin with?

"Since the end of the last glacial epoch, global sea level has risen 120 meters (393 feet), about one meter per century. Most of that was the result of melting of continental ice sheets between 18,000 and 8,000 years ago. The rate of sea level rise has leveled off to about 1- to 3 millimeters per year, about the thickness of two pennies."

 

"In other words, the slow rise of 1- to 2 mm per year in global sea level is an artifact of our current interglacial period. Local sea level rise or fall depends on local geology, the amount of groundwater pumping in coastal areas, and the cyclic weather patterns. It has nothing to do with carbon dioxide emissions."

 

Again, zero perspective.  Zero wisdom.

 

Funny thing about puppets.  To be effective, the puppet can't realize they are being a puppet.  Otherwise, they would cut the ties that bind and think for themselves.  The data, and hopefully a desire to be intellectually honest, should drive that objectivity.  If one were to be in control an capable of independent thought, that is...

Your first paragraph has no citation. What is the source(s)?

Quote:Acceleration is the differential change in velocity. Sea level rise is accelerating. If the measured change in sea level is multiple times higher than the average for that particular area, then the sea level rise is accelerating. 

 

Show me a tide gauge where the rate of sea level rise is accelerating.


 

And when you have gone through enough of them that you discover I'm right, then admit that the scientist(s) at NASA.gov were lying.

HMM...
