The Rise and Rise of Sea Level Rise?
Oct 18th, 2017 at 1:31pm
 
"Sea level rise is caused primarily by two factors related to global warming: the added water from melting ice sheets and glaciers and the expansion of sea water as it warms. The first graph tracks the change in sea level since 1993 as observed by satellites."

...

https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/sea-level/

The graph is from Watts, the original is at the NASA site in the URL.

The sea level appears to be stable or maybe even falling.

So what would be the cause? Lower global sea temperatures, increasing ice sheets?

that's the way Lee, ignore the 15 yr+ trend of increases in sea levels on your graph and concentrate on the low point. That's bound to help you

So being the technically minded person you are; explain how these record global temperatures have resulted in a static sea level.

NASA believes implicitly in the satellite data. Of course Jason 2, 3 have resolution of about 3cm. Although NASA says 4-5cm.

"Sea surface height accuracy is currently 3.4 centimetres, with 2.5 expected in the future."

https://www.eumetsat.int/jason/print.htm

"From its vantage point 1336 kilometers (830 miles) above the Earth, the US/European Jason-1 and OSTM/Jason-2 ocean altimeter satellites measure the height of the ocean surface directly underneath the satellite with an accuracy of 4-5 centimeters (better than 2 inches). "

https://sealevel.jpl.nasa.gov/technology/

So the SLR, from looking at the graph, is about 85mm (8.5cm) +/-4-5cm.

Then the graph claims the rise as 3.4mm/year. 22years at 3.4mm is 74.8mm.

22 years at 4cm, the lower edge of the NASA band is 88cm.

The readings are entirely in the error band.

I look forward to your explanation.

It's called cherry picking.
It's one of the most obviously dishonest tactics used by deniers

Global warming is all about trends over the long term. There is always going to be short term aberrations (called noise) due to the size and complexity of the climate system.

That's why climate is considered to be over at least 30 years. That is a long enough time to smooth out any short term fluctuations. Of course the deniers ignore all  the data showing sea levels rising and cherry pick a couple of years where it is stable.

Even more dishonestly, lee then tries to draw a false dichotomy between air temperature and ocean temperature (ie sea level rise). Of course lee is smart enough to know he is being fraudulent.

So show us this accelerated sea level rise.
Try Fort Denison (Sydney)

You do realise that the scale in your graph is METRES. That's almost as funny as your "No big spike at Agincourt Reef" claim in the Reef thread. If you are going to try and deceive me you are going to have to do better than use graphs with meaningless scales.

But despite the scale of your graph you can definitely see a rising of sea level, especially since 2000. The green line starts below 1 metre but by the present day has climbed over 1 metre. It's even more apparent in the blue line.

Another own goal by lee and further proof that Tony Abbott was talking bollocks

Very good. And yet about 2008 appears higher than 2017. Is sea level  going down?

And of course Mean Sea Level is taken at low tide. Grin Grin Grin Grin

Did you see the spike in 2000?

That is why Mean Sea Level is so hard to determine. Actually for the globe it is impossible.

But I will leave you with your fantasies.

Edit: BTW- Did you actually read what I wrote in the Fort Denison post? I'll remind you.

More cherry picking of data you just can't help yourself.  Grin Grin
The individual spikes are meaningless, you would have to be an idiot to rely on those. The important thing is the rolling average, and your graphs clearly show (despite the ridiculous scale) that sea levels are rising.

Seriously lee. Do you actually believe the crap that you post? Or do you deliberately post it to try and deceive those who arn't scientifically minded?

Sea levels will rise and fall in accordance with the Earth's NATURAL cycles.

And NOT because of man's CO2 emissions which are so small they are negligible.

Quote:
The uncompromising verdict of Dr Mörner is that all this talk about the sea rising is nothing but a colossal scare story, writes Christopher Booker.

Christopher Booker
6:25PM GMT 28 Mar 2009

If one thing more than any other is used to justify proposals that the world must spend tens of trillions of dollars on combating global warming, it is the belief that we face a disastrous rise in sea levels.

The Antarctic and Greenland ice caps will melt, we are told, warming oceans will expand, and the result will be catastrophe.

Although the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) only predicts a sea level rise of 59cm (17 inches) by 2100, Al Gore in his Oscar-winning film An Inconvenient Truth went much further, talking of 20 feet, and showing computer graphics of cities such as Shanghai and San Francisco half under water.

We all know the graphic showing central London in similar plight. As for tiny island nations such as the Maldives and Tuvalu, as Prince Charles likes to tell us and the Archbishop of Canterbury was again parroting last week, they are due to vanish.

But if there is one scientist who knows more about sea levels than anyone else in the world it is the Swedish geologist and physicist Nils-Axel Mörner, formerly chairman of the INQUA International Commission on Sea Level Change.

And the uncompromising verdict of Dr Mörner, who for 35 years has been using every known scientific method to study sea levels all over the globe, is that all this talk about the sea rising is nothing but a colossal scare story.

Despite fluctuations down as well as up, "the sea is not rising," he says. "It hasn't risen in 50 years."

If there is any rise this century it will

"not be more than 10cm (four inches),

with an uncertainty of plus or minus 10cm".

And quite apart from examining the hard evidence, he says, the elementary laws of physics (latent heat needed to melt ice) tell us that the apocalypse conjured up by
Al Gore and Co could not possibly come about.
