First off, I never claimed he was 'credible.' However, the arguments against him are all Ad Hominem attacks, which is the best the alarmists can do, since they can't present actual data that backs their argument. Also, 'SkepicalScience' is a site who's very name is a lie. Doesn't that raise a red flag?


 

Morner claimed that the satellite readings have been adjusted upwards. That's the question, not whether or not Morner eats Cheerios for breakfast. Do you have an article that actually describes how the satellite data are processed and thus refutes him?


 

From what I've seen, the sea level is rising at the same rate it has for hundreds of years, whatever that may actually be. Look at the individual tide gauges. Some show rise, and some even show fall, because of changes in land height. For example, NYC is slowly sinking, while parts of the UK have risen significantly over the centuries. But the slope of the measurements vs. time is very steady for any given gauge.
