the estimates currently differ by almost five meters (16.5 feet).

LOL

There will be no rest until the UN and similar front groups of global socialism are crushed into the dirt.

The United Nations' forecast of how quickly global sea levels will rise this century is vital in determining how much money might be needed to combat the phenomenon.

That's what it really is all about, isn't it?

Tell me again about those South Sea islands that “disappeared” because of rising sea levels.

AFAIK, there is only so much water on Earth. If that’s true, how can sea level change? Maybe the land is sinking?

“...
Data up until 1993, based on coastal measurements, show an annual rise of 1.7 millimeters.
Since then, however, satellite measurements have indicated a rise of three millimeters per year.

But does that mean that water levels are rising faster? Not necessarily.
“I find it unlikely that sea level started to accelerate just at the time we started to measure it with satellites,” says Simon Holgate, a sea level researcher with the National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool.
He says that the simple change in measuring technique could account for the change.

As a result, researchers don’t agree on what to expect. Whereas James Hansen expects a five meter rise, his colleague Simon Holgate says that “I think that even in the highest emission scenario we won’t exceed a global average of one meter of sea level rise by 2100.”
...”

Someone should propose they dredge the ocean.

It’s funny, I’ve seen brainwashed “warmers” claim that ocean levels have raised at specific geographical areas of the globe.

Evidently they’ve never heard about gravity.

And the real experts on measuring sea levels say that there has been NO “rise in sea level”. But, as usual, the “amateur” scientists (usually physicists) working in a field outside their fundamental expertise believe their math models more than the actual measurements.

The tide marks on the dock in Deltaville, VA, which is connected to the oceans of the world through the Chesapeake Bay, are in the same places as they were in 1966. No change. Hence no sea level rise in 45 years.

“With 146 million people in the world currently living less than one meter above sea level...”

Wow, I wonder what they do about waves, and tides! /sarc

“how much money governments must spend on measures to protect people from the rising waters and to resettle those in the most acute danger. “

They think they have problems with the Palestinians? Wait until they try to MOVE those in need of resettling and then finding a place to put them.

Let’s start with Venice. Then we could move the UN Headquarters out of Manhattan. Say, to someplace like Siberia, far from the “rising” seas, where they no longer have to worry about “Global Warming”

Hey, good idea! The UN will finally acknowledge God and His control over the Earth when, after a winter or two in Siberia, the UN General Assembly opens each daily session with prayer FOR Global Warming! “Please dear God, let it warm above zero today!”

(In the interest of Truth and Full Disclosure, the UN headquarters is about 11 meters above sea level, but one can’t be too careful!)

Obviously these characters don’t follow the news - Obama told us that when he was elected that would be the moment that the rise of sea levels would come to a halt. What else do they need to know?

Perhaps the UN should set up a sea level monitoring station on the beach at Al Gore’s seaside mansion in California. That way Gore could get advance warning and move his furniture to higher ground.

Don't you think that people standing in a meter of water would resettle themselves?

It’s rising at 0.5mm per year. They know this and they can’t handle that one simple truth because it defeats their agenda.
