Tag: sea level rise

 

Sea Level Rise.  As water gets warmer, it takes up more space. Each drop of water only expands by a little bit, but when you multiply this expansion over the entire depth of the ocean, it all adds up and causes sea level to rise. Sea level is also rising because melting glaciers and ice sheets are adding more water to the oceans.

The sea level has been rising since the last ice age 18,000 years ago.  The most rapid rises occurred much longer ago than the present time, and the rate of rise has been quite steady or even may have decreased slightly during the most recent years.

This story, “Climate Change Making Days Longer,” and the variations on it, were published Summer, 2024 by mainstream media outlets.  I mention some of their Alarmist views, as well as some Contrarian views by Heartland, and some views from our skeptical friends in the blogosphere.

I explore this subject, using a wide series of facts, measurements, observations and data, easily looked up, and typically ignored by the Alarmist press.

I cite some of both sides of this story.  I widen the discussion by including Continue reading ““Climate Change Making Days Longer,” studies say, Part ONE”

WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT “CLIMATE CHANGE MAKING DAYS LONGER” UP TO NOW

NPR claims that humans burning fossil fuels controls sea level and that CO2 is “climate pollution.”

Regarding the NPR claim, the data show that sea level is a dynamic property of earth (Fig 3) and was meters higher than today within the historic past. There are numerous examples of this from the NMSU-A WEEK SEVEN class graphics, slides 33-146. 

One example, from 1066,  is when William the Conqueror invaded what we now call England. He landed at Pevensey Castle, which is now a mile from the English Channel and 13 ft above present Sea Level, Presentation Graphics, Slide 145.

The only way to understand this is, that when William landed in  England at Continue reading ““Climate Change Making Days Longer,” studies say, Part FOUR”

A Critique of the Fifth National Climate Assessment

The Fifth National Climate Assessment, NCA5: It is Full of Bogus Claims

On 14 November 2023 the office of President Biden released a video of him praising the publication of the Fifth National Climate Assessment, a report required every four years by the Global Change Research Act of 1990. Some of the graphics in Biden’s video proclaim, “Historic Climate Action,” a daft, in my opinion, notion that humans, led by the population of the United States, through supposedly legal (Congressional), Administrative, Executive and Judicial Continue reading “A Critique of the Fifth National Climate Assessment”

It’s madness, madness, madness, there is no climate emergency

Climate Change is normal and natural and has gone on for millions of years without any help from the human race. The scaremongering now going on by the media, politicians and climate alarmists, is so utterly misguided to be nothing but tragic. That we have an End of the World scenario is Continue reading “It’s madness, madness, madness, there is no climate emergency”

CRITIQUE of the June 2021 AARP Bulletin: “Climate Change and You”

Robert W. Endlich

A few months ago, I picked up the June 2021 issue of the AARP BULLETIN. What greeted me was inch-high letters blaring the title of their feature article: “CLIMATE CHANGE AND YOU; Extreme Weather Is Affecting Older Americans’ Daily Life…”

On the front cover, four huge images, vivid color photos: white-shirted man on rooftop looking into a wildfire in southern California, flood victims of Hurricane Florence in an overloaded boat in South Carolina, woman in jeans and white shirt in Mississippi assessing damage after Hurricane Katrina, and a view of slushy streets in Texas, February 2021.

 

Figure 1. Screenshot of the AARP BULLETIN’s front cover graphics for the feature article, ”What You Need to Know About Climate Change.” The authors don’t know it but, what they are really describing is wild weather, part of the climate we have. AARP’s ignorance starts right here, with this cover graphic.

The photos are dramatic, of course, classic emotional appeals by the media. But I thought,

“Is AARP subliminally trying to tell us that wildfires are new Continue reading “CRITIQUE of the June 2021 AARP Bulletin: “Climate Change and You””
