As is clear from the comments here ("I haven't seen anything....") there is a difference between local and global SL rise. Almost all continental crust is moving to some level; uplifting or subsiding depending on local fault movements. If where you are is subsiding, SL will be seen to rise, even if there is no global change. If it is stable, anthropogenic change will be seen. If there is uplift there may be some rise seen (if uplift is slower than SL change), stay the same (if same rate) or SL will appear to fall.

One question that comes up a lot(and is genuinely an interesting one) is 'The industrial revolution started in the 1760s, why didn't temperatures and sea levels start rising til the latter half of the 1900s?' There are 3 main reasons. 1. The Little Ice Age was started in the 1300s and was at it's deepest in the late 1600s. The exact nature of the LIA is disputed(some say it was a fully natural minor temperature down spike that more or less ended on it's own, some say it was a result of the mass death of native americans resulting in a notable decrease in carbon output and a massive rewilding of North America without them cutting down trees, and others say it was the resumption of the real ice age starting and the ending of the interglacial period that humanity unintentionally halted), but no matter which theory you believe this downturn in temperature compared to the prior Medieval Warm Period absorbed some of the initial hit. 2. It takes a decent bit of heat input to change an atmosphere's worth of air, and a lot more than that to heat up an oceans worth of water. And there's a bit of a lag in things between the co2 getting into the air and the extra heat being absorbed. So it did hit us, it just took a few decades. 3. This one is a newer theory, but prior to the mid 1900s and especially the late 1900s, most co2 emmisions were paired with significant quantities of soot, ash, and sulfur dioxide, as we mostly burned low grade coal, wood, and sometimes garbage or surface tar. THESE chemicals have a cooling effect, blocking off sunlight and causing reduced sunlight and thus offsetting much of the greenhouse effect(The fringe theories in the 70s about global cooling were partially down to badly overestimating this effect as well as looking at natural records from the little ice age). Soot and Ash were heavily controlled by pollution laws in the 60s and 70s(mostly to prevent stuff like the London Smog that killed thousands), Sulfur Dioxide was controlled by Anti-Acid Rain laws in the 80s and 90s, and most households switched to natural gas or electric heating so we don't have coal soot pouring out of every chimney. While this is GOOD in that the air is no longer poison, this reflective effect that was mostly keeping the greenhouse effect under control suddenly vanished in just the span of a few decades. And these reflecting agents don't stay in the atmosphere very long, while co2 can stay for millennium. We effectively had something braking the heating effect for centuries and recently we removed it.

From 1922..... The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate at Bergen Norway. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the Gulf Stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelt which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable. * * * * * * * * * I must apologize.

So I showed her the latest data from NOAA and NASA, which said the current rise, although its not equal all over the world, is 3 millimeters. (Very small for Americans). I then showed here a ruler with millimeter and centimeter markings (10 mm = 1 centimeter for Americans). So I asked her at a 3 mm rise per year how much would the sea rise in 10 years, she said 3 centimeters (a bit over an inch for Americans). Ok I said so how much would the seas rise in 100 years. She said "30 centimeters Grandad". "What's that in non metric I asked her" "One foot, Grandad" "How Tall is Grandad in the old measure?" I asked her. She laughed "6 Foot Grandad!". "So how long before the water goes over Grandads head" "600 years Grandad!" she laughed. "So I asked her if we lived by the sea and the seas were rising by so many metres per hundred years, do you think the government would build dykes, like Holland and keep the water out" "Of course grandad, they are not silly and there would be plenty of time."

There are a few ways we directly measure sea level. One is tide gauge observations-simply measuring the height of a tide on a fixed marker. As the tide marker is attached to land, this provides a measurement of sea level relative to land. In some areas, the land might be rising (uplift) which would mean the local sea level would be falling faster than if there was no land motion. In other areas, the land might be subsiding, which would result in higher local sea-level rise.Another method is satellite altimetry, where satellites measure the actual height of the ocean surface.By combining these two methods, scientists can put together a picture of average global sea level changes. www.science.org.au/curious/earth-environment/how-we-measure-global-sea-level-changes-0

No scientist ever predicted sea level rise of that magnitude by 2015. When Hansen went to Congress in the 80s he predicted we would see effects of warming by the middle of the 21st century, not by 2015. Read the IPCC and see the predictions for 2100, which might be 1-3 feet by then. Loads of people like to dismiss climate change by quoting outlandish predictions that were never said. My parents bought a new house on Miami Beach in 1950. (My mother had left NY after WWII as a war widow.) I grew up there Traveling most of the city every day from when I entered middle school until I left for college. I returned for med school at The U and lived there for 4 more years, then moved away. Miami Beach was dry every sunny day where it didn’t rain the day before. In the 60s I saw occasional small puddles on sunny days, but gave them no importance as I thought that someone must have washed their car the day before. I came back for a visit in 2016, about 50 years later. The city was in the process of spending half a billion dollars, a big expense even for a city filled with ppl with money, installing pumps, and raising streets on the west side of the city because streets have been flooding during high tide. The tiny puddles on the early 60s were now 2-3 feet of water, during extra high tides. The earth is BIG. I’m sure everyone can agree with that. It takes a lot of heat to warm something that big, and no matter how fast glaciers melt you’re not going to notice the increase year over year. It takes decades. The cost of protecting one small city is half a billion, and that will last for 20-30 years. Imagine the cost of protecting every city on the east coast. The cost of abandonment is even greater, far more than the cost of switching to solar and wind for electricity. One more thing. The weather has changed greatly since then. The winters were cold. I remember freezing my bottom off waiting for the school bus every Nov to Feb. I now live several hundred miles north, in an area that used to have orange trees until several winter freezes killed all the trees. Farmers replanted, but a few years later a series of cold snaps killed them off and the farmers gave up. I’ve lived here just outside Orlando for 14 years, and there hasn’t been a freeze since I got here. Although my home has central heat it’s never been turned on. The climate is getting hotter, the sea is rising. Both are happening slowly enough not to notice year over year, but observing over decades and it’s absolutely happening. Ignore it at your peril.

the point is: no cataclysm. sea level rise will occur at a rate that is amenable to adaptation (maintenance, construction, rebuild) as it always has. marine archaeology includes ancient ports and cities long since inundated. as with climate the levels here are very small: 250 mm is ten inches over 140 years. in that same time frame carbon dioxide has increased from 0.03% to 0.04% of the atmosphere and the global average temperature has increased about 0.8°C and so once again the climate eschatology department moved the goal posts (previously moved from 'global warming' to 'climate change' for instance) to propaganda about "tipping points" conveniently supplied by a book of that title (but quite different subjects) published in 2000 by Malcolm Gladwell. the damage to social fabric by trying to implement what is essentially an authoritarian regimen based on UN generated hysteria has started to show already in such protests as the Yellow Vest movement - together with distaste for the US president Trump - prompted a renewed propaganda campaign that is likely to turn violent over the next few years very much as the Socialist International shattered the 20th century with authoritarianism and police states except replace eugenics with climate eschatology. witness the present attempts to create a fascist youth movement for instance: consider how someone with very firm convictions and extreme paranoia augmented by mental illness would guide such a movement. you don't have to consider, just read up on Caligula, Commodus, Nero, Stalin, Mao and witch-burning in general. because they scientific argument is simply not for a panic but for a gradual transition (necessitated because current "alternatives" are nothing of the sort) and adaptation with emphasis on efficiency, diversity and practicality - simply not profitable enough for carbon priests attempting to sell carbon indulgences: be assured poverty is the worst environmental policy and police states run by authoritarian regimes have left behind environmental catastrophes that make capitalism seem tame - in fact capitalists under rule of law and democracy have created more parks, cleaned up more messes, invented more solutions and regulated more activity than any police state whose primary goal was regulating the thoughts of its citizens. the problem with the United Nations as the basis for any solution is that ignorant religiosity and brutal disrespect for human rights are given equal time with scientific practicality, democracy and the rule of law. therefore the UN will not be the basis for any working solution but is a fine substrate for panic, graft and avarice.

You should look up what "exponential" and "feedback loop" mean. But no, the ocean rise won't be the most devastating part of climate change. It will be immensely expensive, but money is a man-made concept anyway and we can just redefine costs as needed. The big problem will be food security. As the temperature rises, we'll have less and less arable land to work with, and fewer and fewer plants and animals to eat as existing species fail to adapt to the changing climate and the resultant changes in their local ecosystem. It won't be enough to wipe humanity out by any means, but it will result in mass starvation for a few generations as we're forcibly adjusted to whatever new sustainable level the remaining farmable land and crops allows for. And of course, humans being humans, we'll have plenty of war to go around on top of everything else as we all fight to try and prevent "our" in-group from being the ones who starve.

While it still constitutes what would be considered by everyday standards a small part of the whole atmosphere, the fact is that it contributes greatly to the amount of heat stored in Earth's system. The AGT has increased by 1C. The goal posts were never moved from "global warming" to "climate change"; the terms "climate change" or "climatic change" can be found in papers dating back at least to the 50's. I think that's all the falsifiable things you mentioned related to the science or debate, the rest of what you did was ramble on about your personal view of the world.

[@christinearmington]

“Climate chane”,the phrase,was coined by deniers. It’s broader and equally apt but well calculated to move the issue away from “anthropogenic global warming “, I.e. man’s responsibility for pumping CO2 into the atmosphere.

[@altrag]

@Gareth .. And? Its true, but its also not super relevant for two reasons: 1) We're pumping CO2 out far, far faster than the new greenery is absorbing it. 2) Just like humans can get oxygen poisoning when the air we breathe has too much O2, plants also have a limit of how much CO2 they can handle before they start dying. And there's also a pretty bad add-on effect as well: Most of the additional plant mass is in the form of things like algae blooms -- which themselves tend to kill off other sea life, making the extra greenery not as helpful as we'd like. At the very least, it will be a significant shift in the world's plant demographics, and almost certainly going to be a massive hit to plant diversity.. which could be a real problem if we kill off say, rice or grain that are staple foods for large parts of the world.

[@Xyanider]

Looks like I am late to the party again but I just wanted to mention that one of the problems with tide gauges is that they may also show faulty data. Over simplified it is nothing more than a stick in the ground and we measure how high the water reaches. Due to shifting of the ground, such as rising or sinking land, it may also show a theoretical increase in sea level rise [1]. So it all depends on what you basis is that you measure from, if the base changes so does your data. The interesting thing about seas level rise is also that it is none uniform [2]. You would think that if sea levels are rising it would be uniform, meaning that they would rise all over the world. However this is not the case some areas that are very close to each other even report conflicting data, such as two stations in Japan called Aburatsu [3] and Hosojima [4] or two stations in India, one called Tuticorin [5] and other Nagapattinam [6] or two station in Chile, one called Talcahuano [7] and the other Corral [8] etc. So a better way to measure sea level rise would be a mathematical approach where we measure the distance from the earth code to the surface of the water. Although I think that would be very difficult to acchieve.

I added a "like". Seattle sea level is falling BECAUSE the land is rising above a subduction zone. Also there's a "isostatic rebound" effect from the melting of ice in the northern hemisiphere the last glacial period. the land near the edge of the ice (seattle again) is rising because of the lost weight; but as it rises a bit farther to the south the land sinks. The sea is still rising from the end of the last "ice age" but has slowed considerably.

[@unknownz1238]

Hallo not to be mean but, I read the Harvard, NOAA, and PSMSL sites and in all there reports they point toward rising or significant change. In the Harvard paper It says that because the land is also rising and shifts and so most of our original estimates of sea level change is actually lower then it probably should because we’re not accounting for tectonic plate subduction and induction or simple terms the ground is moving up and down. Then, because of that they also found that our original 20th century facts were saying a lower increase of sea rise which means over the last 20 years sea level rise had accelerated significantly. In the PSMSL I read their most current report on their findings over the last 50-75 years and they concluded significant mean sea level rise with calculation in accordance to geocentric measurements as they were smart enough to see that would be a problem to measure with vertical ground motion In the NOAA The digital graph literally almost all the arrows point upward trend of sea level rise

[@battleon81]

For global averages, the shifting of the ground might be an issue. For regional data, if anything you WANT to include shifting in the ground. People live on land, not in the ocean. For all practical intents and purposes, it is the rising of the the water itself + the rising or sinking of the land that matters for planning mitigation. Texas is experiencing particularly high sea level rise because the land is sinking. You absolutely don't want to leave that out, only focus on the water itself, and seriously underestimate the future damage.

In your graph of Global MSL from 1880 to 2010, [at 03:01] the graph appears to show a gradual curve with the gradient increasing incrementally. That being the case, and AGW being generally considered to only recently have had a significant effect, what caused the incremental increases leading up to the AGW phase? If AGW had caused a significant increase, surely there would be a distinct change (like the hockey stick) in the curve as opposed to the apparent smooth continuation. It is also worth noting that if you moved your "last 30 years" line back just four or five years, the gradient is significantly less steep. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I am saying that the evidence you present does not appear to support the claim being made.

Sea level rise is a lagging indicator. It takes a lot of energy to melt ice and much of it remains trapped on the surface for some time, also, the ocean is huge and the atmosphere is holding 7% more water vapor for every 1º C increase. We could easily see this rise ramp up very suddenly especially if there is a sudden increase in glacial melt when the ice shelves are no longer blocking the glaciers from flowing to the sea.

[@Stew282]

@@lrvogt1257 I'm not sure I follow the bit about "It takes a lot of energy to melt ice and much of it remains trapped on the surface for some time" - you appear to be suggesting that melted ice (water) is somehow trapped on the surface of the sea (also water). Or are you claiming that the water from melting glaciers on land, would be trapped on land? - In which case, where are all these water traps that millions of years of rain haven't managed to fill? How significant is the atmosphere's "holding 7% more water vapour"? Is this additional water vapour coming from the oceans - in which case are the ocean levels dropping? Or is it from the melting ice that is being "trapped on the surface"? Or is 7% more atmospheric water vapour insignificant? I also seem to remember from school, that floating ice displaces it's own mass of water - so the effect on sea level of the entire north pole melting would be 'net zero', as it were!

@@starleyshelton2245 yes that’s right. My point was that alarmists do not discuss uncertainties because they undermine the moral they want to impose.

The temperature system that matters is Kelvin; not Celsius. (And 3. The average chosen is arbitrarily chosen to enhance the natural rebound from glacial maximum.)

The error bars are incorporated into the data. The data points are the average of a great number of measurements, so the errors are small. If you do enough measurements the possible deviation from the true value becomes negligible. Plus, plotted over time the trend is obvious. Looking at the data over the last 120 years the increase has been 6 to 8 inches, and there is zero uncertainty in that measurement. Current change is about 3.7mm per year and increasing. At that rate the sea level would have increased by over an inch in the next decade.

Even the predictions about the future isn’t what scientists are saying. They are predicting the average world wide temperatures. Some areas may actually be cooler. The predictions are about GLOBAL warming, but local events can add to the predictions. Scientists predicted that Greenland’s ice would melt way back in the 1980s.

Also doesn't explain the sudden warming during the medieval and also Roman times where it was at least 2c warmer than today - found both in Greenland ice cores and preserved trees in Norway where the rings of the trees are an excellent source for data mapping climate changes.

One major flaw in this whole argument: Correlation does not prove, nor does it really even speak of, causation. Since sea levels were rising well before humans began burning fossil fuels in large measure, we must ask what was causing these sea level rises. And how do we know that without these CO2 emissions, seas levels would have continued to rise at a steady rate vs at an accelerated rate. That adding CO2 increases earth temperatures significantly vs just slightly if at all is really just a theory, albeit a compelling one to some. Given the complexity of factors involved in earth temperature, single causation is very difficult to establish.

@TheHealthPhysicist IPCC assigns the LAZIEST "scientists" to this type of research. IPCC nor any "climate scientist" can explain the exact interactions that all solar generated energy frequencies impacting our planet. Realize that only a ,001 percent change in total solar energy impacting our planet would invalidate every single climate prediction model. Also realize that looking at the UV energy spectra which is the total basis of IPCC solar energy input totally ignores all the other energy spectra connecting to our planet. It is the easiest (hence lazy "climate scientist") and the most constant energy spectra to use but even the IPCC and any honest climate scientist will admit we do not fully understand all the interactions of solar/cosmic energy sources to our planet. Yet, a group of "climate scientists" claim CO2 is totally responsible for the climate change issues when past data shows that CO2 follows mean climate temperature not leads climate temperature.

[@starleyshelton2245]

@@Gottenhimfella Actually, using US numbers is not bad. Problem is that before WW2 most of the world had little or no weather or temperature monitoring. Just as the DOW is a measure of the stock market by sampling, so the US temperature record is good for global trends. 1871 Stanley and Livingston were in wild jungle. Before 1945 ocean temperatures were basically trade routes. Most of Asia, South America, northern Canada, the Arctic, the Antarctic, western Australia and many other places had little or no measurements at all. Even today the US is over 30% of all actual measurements. So I really see no problem using the largest continuous record as a baseline. Especially as it also seems to jive with the European record. Only since satellites in 1979 have we had a method for true global measurement. While they do not match the computer estimates of models and computer homogenization of ground temperature, they are very consistant with balloon measurement. Unfortunately, homogenized and model data are weak when compared to even modern readings today.

Are measurements taken from EXACTLY the same number and location of stations since 1880? I’m guessing the earlier instruments tended to have a location bias favoring Northern Europe, where Ice age rebound (relative sea level drop)would have a greater effect on the average relative sea rise compared to now when tropical and subtropical stations take up a larger % of measuring stations. Either way, it’s a very slow process. Sea level rise or not, every single structure and fragment of infrastructure in, say, Miami, will have to be replaced in the next 300 years even if sea level there were to remain constant. So don’t get too crazy about the “costs of sea-level rise.” Incremental relocation of cities over centuries is not such a big deal.
