Quote:How much these adjustments change the sea level rise is beyond my desire to dig that deeply. One of the world experts on sea level, Dr. Nils Morner, claims that the satellite measurements are adjusted so that the rise agrees with the pre-satellite value (specifically Hong Kong tidal measurements). Take all such claims skeptically, but he was an expert. You'll find that almost all of the publically expressed skepticism is from older scientists. They can afford to express skepticism because they have nothing to lose. For a young scientist to express skepticism risks being ostracized. Of course, that don't mean that the skeptics are right, but it's another factor to consider.

Here is a response to Dr. Morner's allegations:

"So who is Nils-Axel Mörner, and how is he able to see these things that every other scientist in the world can’t?

Well, in addition to his activities “debunking” climate change, Mörner is also an enthusiast of dowsing and water witching.

And he has some very weird ideas about archaeology. See here, here, here, and here.

And he is associated with fringe wacko/antisemite/conspiracy theorist Lyndon LaRouche. Here’s an interview (PDF) he did with the LaRouche publication Executive Intelligence Review.

And he is an “allied expert” with the Natural Resources Stewardship Project, a group that is controlled by energy industry lobbyists.

Verdict: there may be credible scientists raising valid objections to anthropogenic climate change theory, but Nils-Axel Mörner is not one of them. He’s a raving kook."

 

Here is even more about Dr. Morner:

This guy is a real wacko.    I would suggest you stop citing him as a credible source.
