Dr Gray On Sea Levels
October 2008
QUOTE: It is noteworthy that many of the published records have levelled
out in the last 50 years particularly after satellite levelling
equipment has been installed.
QUOTE: Satellite measurements of globally averaged sea level (Solomon et
al. 2007 Chapter 5, page 411), started in 1992, have shown a rise from
1993 to 2003 of 3.1 ± 0.7mm/yr but it has levelled off since then.
The supposed warming of the earth>s surface is expected to cause a
steady rise of sea level as a result of thermal expansion of the oceans
and melting of land-based ice. Some increase is also expected as a
delayed influence of the disappearance of the last ice age.
The IPCC (Solomon et al. Chapter 5, page 410) estimates global average
sea level rise as 1.7 ± 0.5 mm/yr for the 20th Century and 1.8 ± 0.6
mm/yr from 1961-2003 based on tide-gauge data.
As has been pointed out by John Daly (2000), these figures are obtained
after an attempt to correct the tide gauge figures for various forms of
geological disturbance, using a model derived from Northern Hemisphere
experience, which is probably not universally applicable. In addition no
corrections are made for possible subsidence due to removal of
groundwater or minerals, or of the weight of buildings. Tide gauge
equipment is difficult to keep level as it is subject to constant
battering by the sea.
It is noteworthy that many of the published records have levelled out in
the last 50 years particularly after satellite levelling equipment has
been installed.
Satellite measurements of globally averaged sea level (Solomon et al.
2007 Chapter 5, page 411), started in 1992, have shown a rise from 1993
to 2003 of 3.1 ± 0.7mm/yr but it has levelled off since then. Wunsch et
al (2008) have questioned the accuracy and reliability of the data,
because they do not include important oceans.
There are regional variations, one of which is the Western Pacific. The
widespread belief that the island of Tuvalu and other Pacific islands
are sinking in the ocean appears to be untrue. Since local tide-gauge
measurements showed no such change, a research study was set up in 1991
at Flinders University, Adelaide, with the firm belief that Tuvalu would
prove to be sinking.
The team replaced the tide-gauges of 12 Pacific Islands with the most
modern equipment and have now been going for 13 years
All the 12 stations show no tendency for their sea level to rise in 13
years.
There was a hurricane in the Pacific in 1988 which caused a depression
in all of the tide-gauges.
When the authors ran a linear regression, they were able to claim a
small rise since the depression caused by the 1998 hurricane.
Tuvalu actually rose in 2005.
The results are shown in Figure 18 (Hall 2007).

This post is an utter lie.
It just simply ignores the data.
Bonzo, (or however he spells the name he
hides under this week), doesn>t check what
he posts against the facts. We should have
buried his 'repeating the lie until it becomes
true' strategy forever back in 1945.

NOPE! SEA LEVEL RISE DIDN>T LEVEL OFF IN 2003.
The current rate is 3.2 ± 0.4 mm/yr. There is
no statistically significant change in the rate
of sea level rise measured by satellites.

Your graph shows that sea levels have stopped rising.
Stop your wanking comrade because it has blinded you!!!

Like the snow on the ground in England in late October ?
Apparently the first time in London since 1922. As the latest Global Warming
bill was being discussed in Parliament, snow was falling on the roof !
60% of the British now think Global Warming is bunkum. And those who still
have time for it think the potential effect is being overstated.
After this winter expect it to be more like 90%
