To say all scientists are left-wing is the “absurd absolute” logical fallacy, (Focus on science, 19/06). But those who approve the grants scientists rely on are all left-wing.
If seas-level rise was a threat, banks wouldn’t lend for property just above current sea-level. But they do, including in really expensive markets like London and New York.
The linear trend line on NOAA’s Fort Denison graph should be curving upwards in line with Asia’s skyrocketing emissions. But it’s not, it only shows post-Little Ice Age thermal expansion.
The linear trend in 1886 was <1mm/yr. Halfway through the record (1953) it was <1mm/yr. At the end of the record (2021) it was <1mm/yr. I.e., no acceleration from industrialisation.
If Councils were reacting to settled science on accelerating sea-level rise, they’d be building sea walls like the Dutch have. But they’re not.
If we’d had “3.3mm/year” sea-level rise since 1995 and each 10mm (three years) had seen “beaches retreat by up to one metre” our local beaches would be 9.3 metres narrower now. Lol!
Climate alarmism is all cherry-picking and arm-waving assertions, but it’s costing us big-time - and Asia gets stronger as we get weaker.
