Global warming made sea levels FALL in 2010 and 2011

The Register reports:
Global warming and climate change are usually thought to mean that world sea levels will rise, perhaps disastrously. But according to US government boffins, in recent times (2010 and 2011, to be precise) phenomena driven by human carbon emissions have actually caused world sea levels to fall.
The seas have, of course, been rising steadily as the climate has changed for thousands of years, ever since the end of the last ice age. During the 20th century, according to estimates mostly from erratic tide gauges, sea levels rose by around 1.7mm a year. Since the early 1990s, satellites have also been used to measure sea levels, and by contrast have suggested a steady unchanging rise of about 3mm annually – that is, until 2010.
According to a statement issued yesterday by the US National Science Foundation:
“For an 18-month period beginning in 2010, the oceans mysteriously dropped by about seven millimeters.”http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/20/climate_change_made_sea_levels_fall_in_2010_and_2011/
Time the IPCC career money sinks and associated corrupt boffins 'fessed up and retreated from fear based alarmism to secure generous tax payer funded grants and cease obviously circular non productive fields of
research 'the cause'.
