LOL The good doctor was using a very famous landmark some tree on a prison island in the Maldives to prove his point that sea level are not rising and then in his own words ?????
- and being ignorant, you can't see the fallacy in using a single point on the globe as evidence for a global phenomenon.
Quote:Nelson's "find" is a man some of us found years ago and have seen as a source of wild entertainment ever since. He's called Nils-Axel Mörner, and among his claims to fame are that he possesses paranormal abilities to find water and metal using a dowsing rod, and that he has discovered "the Hong Kong of the [ancient] Greeks" in Sweden.
The celebrated debunker of cobblers James Randi challenged Mörner to demonstrate his expertise with a dowsing rod, but he "consistently refused to be tested". He did however, allow his paranormal abilities to be examined on Swedish television, using a test that Mörner himself devised: dowsing for a packet of sugar concealed under one of 10 cups. Needless to say, he failed, blaming, as such people so often do, "interference" and "influences".
Where do you find all these nuts? He travelled to this place in the Maldives, and not only did he just measure a single fixed "tidal gauge" (ok tree) he actually used the wrong tree for his measurements.

He's a good "mate" of Monckton's too. (Not that there is anything wrong with that)
