Scientists have been forced to withdraw a study on projected sea level rise due to global warming after finding mistakes that undermined the findings.
The study, published in 2009 in Nature Geoscience, one of the top journals in its field, confirmed the conclusions of the 2007 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It used data over the last 22,000 years to predict that sea level would rise by between 7cm and 82cm by the end of the century.

When does Algore get stripped of his prizes?
But nooooooo...we paid attention to their blatant "pre-determined results" for money.
They all belong in jail for fraud!!
Cue “Never mind” picture of Emily Litella from SNL.
Yet the global warming true believers still blindly march on.
Wow, the sea rise stopped even without Obama’s intervention.
Interesting how all these mistakes and slip-ups and model inaccuracies all point to industrial capitalism as teh culprit.
Seems like it’s historically inevitable.
Where are all the people who said over and over again that this was “settled science” and that there was nothing to review or question?
OOPS
But, but, but...
Until recently...
“The science is settled” — Algore
“There is no further need for discussion” — Algore
“If you don’t subscribe to this you are just an ignorant denier” — Algore
After ClimateGate...
“Tipper, I’ve got this sudden urge to live in Argentina” — Algore
Pictures of Gilligan moving the pole?
I was a lifeguard on the Jersey shore. I saw the sea level rising. It’s called the tide, (no not the detergent). It rose and fell twice a day and has been occurring for last 3 Billion years plus of minus a few seconds!
How anyone could believe these den of fraudulent liars again is beyond me...when will they be prosecuted for racketeering and theft of our tax dollars??

Global Warming on Free Republic
That's something that I was wondering. We could be more doomed than they originally said, and I could have beachfront property in the Maryland foothills by 2050. :-)
The paper made a number of mistakes in trying to tie today’s expected sea level changes with the changes that occured from the last ice age and the Holocene.
The simple fact is that it can’t really be done because there is very long lags between temperature changes and sea level changes (as much as 8,000 years according to the record).
So they are just pulling a paper which shouldn’t have been done in the first place. The job was too difficult and even if they fixed the math errors, it wouldn’t be reliable for today’s situation.
