Not only that but other satellites tell a different story...!!
Your reply:
Quote:Muso that's exactly what i have come to expect from your mob, they take one paper usually the one that presents the worst case and showcase it to the world.
A fair and balanced view...........sure take that paper and flash it around but also inform the audience that there are other papers that show different outcomes.
There are also other scientists that present quite a different picture than the one your presenting.
Paraphrased, what Ajax meant to say: "Sorry I lied. There are no other satellites, just a Swedish ex Geologist turned water diviner who wrote a paper co-authored by a furniture salesman. One lonesome crank. "
That's your mate in the video. He talks highly of INQUA, but they are not too keen on him.
Quote:Dr. Mörner currently has no formal position in INQUA, and I am distressed that he continues to represent himself in his former capacity. Further, INQUA, which is an umbrella organization for hundreds of researchers knowledgeable about past climate, does not subscribe to Mörner's position on climate change. Nearly all of these researchers agree that humans are modifying Earth's climate, a position diametrically opposed to Dr. Mörner's point of view
(John J. Clague, the then President of INQUA)
Here is further information on Mörner's "paper":
http://www.carbonbrief.org/blog/2011/12/rising-incredulity-at-the-spectator%E2%8... Quote:striking claims that jar with the generally accepted scientific view that sea levels are rising due to climate change, and that this will affect low lying countries.
As a result, Mörner's work has been subjected to close examination by other scientists working on sea level change in the Maldives, including papers from Professor Colin Woodroffe at the University of Wollongong, Professor Philip Woodworth of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, and a group of Australia scientists led by Dr. John Church at the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research.
They all criticise Mörner's approach and conclusions - Woodworth examined Mörner's claims from "meteorological and oceanographic perspectives" and found them "implausible". Woodroffe described Mörner's claims as "questionable" pointing out his methodologies do not stand up to scrutiny, and that his conclusions lack supporting evidence. The group of Australian scientists found "no evidence for the fall in sea level at the Maldives as postulated by Mörner."
Futhermore, Mörner's claims about satellite altimetry are in error - the technique shows that sea levels rose by around 3 mm per year between 1993 and 2006.
