I think it's even more miniscule than you imply: my math tells me that 63.63mm (not even 1 centimeter) over a 63 year period.
This is the very kind of data I've been looking for "them" to admit for years.
And what of the very strong possibility that the side of the island where this is being measured is slowly sinking?
There are so doggone many variables in trying to measure sea level change. And we know that stats don't lie but liars always cook the stats.
"Higher rates of relative sea level rise are expected in the southwest of Ireland due to Glacial Isostatic Adjustment whereby the removal of large ice sheets that covered Ireland during the last ice age causes land subsidence in the southwest and land uplift in the northeast of Ireland. However, models of this effect still leave nearly 20% of sea level rise in Cork unaccounted for. This could be due to local subsidence in Cork Harbour due to manmade or natural factors, or a wider signal of subsidence along the northwest European shelf, or the models for Glacial Isostatic Adjustment could be inaccurate."
False premise.
Gotta take tides into account. Several feet difference from high to low tide in the Upper Harbor.
Right; I live by a river that at high tide is brackish (salt water comes in from the ocean) - and the water level hasn’t risen. Construction goes on along the river as though it never will rise, and often this is in areas that were inundated by Hurricane Sandy.
And yet neither Osama Obama nor algore have sold their multi million dollar beachfront mansions (three in total...Obama 2,algore 1) headed for the safety of the Colorado Rockies.
btt
To show the coastline of the colony in 1776 and as part of the Bi-Centennial celebration, a double line, green (land) and blue (water) had been painted through the streets of lower Manhattan
Maybe the sea just doesn’t like Dublin.
Knowing the climate fools they’ve probably been measuring the sea level rise an hour before actual high tide for years then got it right by mistake.
Perhaps the land is subsiding because water being what it is will rise the same everywhere. Tides and storms excepted.
The Titanic comes to mind.
I wonder if the Titanic sinking did not also contribute to sea level rise????
Of the sea rise is not on average the same everywhere then this area is sinking
Man...I'm buying a house boat.
Thank GOD. I hate Dublin Bay. It’s awful.
1.1 mm/yr X 63 years = 69.3 mm = 6.93 cm
Are they sure its not the ground sinking.
Darn Irish. They're peein' in the Bay again...
Submit this to the new Ministry of Truth and lets see what they say ... can’t hurt or can it ...
They're brewing too much Guinness, and using up the water!
yes, subsidence of land in many areas accounts for what is being reported as “sea level rise”.
