What all 50mm over the last 20 years....??

That wouldn't even be the error margin now would it...???

From memory the error margin is is 100mm.

Ajax can't believe what he sees in the mirror and cries: then he smokes crack and feels better again!

Lucky he doesn't do coke as it wears off too quick!!

:D

I hope your memory is better than your arithmetic. If you made a mistake, be honest and fix it. Otherwise it just makes you look like an idiot.

What instrument is used to measure sea rises..??

There must be an element of error there somewhere...??

It's good to see that you admit to making up your statistics.

When will you realise that any attempt to second-guess the vast majority of the best qualified only makes a fool of you?

I live on the waterfront in Sydney, i have not seen any evidence for rising sea levels since i moved in over a decade ago.

I drag my dinghy out on high tide, the distance to my back door has not become any shorter.

It's not quite that simple. They use Satellite altimeter figures for the simple reason that the land itself rises and falls. For example, in Sweden the land is rising because it's still recovering from having a huge weight of ice on it during the last glaciation. Then there are gravitational anomalies, ocean currents and a lot of etc's.

By that map, there would have been a modest rise in Sydney during that period. Around 1 inch or 30mm. You wouldn't notice it.

- but tidal gauges vary enormously.
