ONE of Australia's foremost experts on the relationship between climate change and sea levels has written a peer-reviewed paper concluding that rises in sea levels are "decelerating".
The analysis, by NSW principal coastal specialist Phil Watson, calls into question one of the key criteria for large-scale inundation around the Australian coast by 2100 -- the assumption of an accelerating rise in sea levels because of climate change.
Based on century-long tide gauge records at Fremantle, Western Australia (from 1897 to present), Auckland Harbour in New Zealand (1903 to present), Fort Denison in Sydney Harbour (1914 to present) and Pilot Station at Newcastle (1925 to present), the analysis finds there was a "consistent trend of weak deceleration" from 1940 to 2000.
Mr Watson's findings, published in the Journal of Coastal Research this year and now attracting broader attention, supports a similar analysis of long-term tide gauges in the US earlier this year. Both raise questions about the CSIRO's sea-level predictions.

It’s a miracle! Praise be to Obamassiah!......./projectile sarc.......
Yes, every twelve hours
Knowing this, one would think that building homes in New Orleans is not a good idea?? The sea is rising and the land is sinking there. I wonder what's going to happen??
New Orleans is a 'Chocolate' city in more ways than one.

Tidal charts look exactly the same as they did 100 years ago.

“Wellll, mass earthquakes, volcanic activity, and general siesmic activity tendsto make islands... though I have to admit this is interesting for the global warming debate.”
In places you can throw a seashell from the Atlantic to the Gulf and the sea level on either side of Hwy 1 is only a foot below the road.
Don’t know if you’re aware of this . . .

Seems like we would be ablbe ot easily effect the path or even destroy this object.
BTW: the Rose Bowl isn’t *1000s* of feet in length, Shep.
Certainly doable . . . if there’s a will to do it.
Satan’s deceptions are likely such that there’s a delusion that it would be better to not do it and reduce the population dramatically . . . that some of the deeply buried bunkers are survivable for the elite.
