Hopefully no one ever comes up with a carbon neutral way of burning people at the stakeOriginally posted by pjclarke View PostMorner could, in his prime, which was arguably when he was president of INQUA Commission on Sea Level Change, have made a legitimate claim to be one of the world's foremost experts on sea level, however he is now retired and as PIB points out, INQUA have had to clarify that he no longer speaks for them and his views are at odd with theirs, and indeed with those of the vast majority of scientists.
In his retirement, he seems to fulfil the public stereotype of the eccentric scientist pretty well, spending his spare time out with his dowsing rodsCoffee's for closersComment

Morner is eccentric.....but is his viewpoint incorrect?
most certainly not
doesn't look to me like the accelerating sea level rises.
Of course you draw a thick black line to "hide the flattening" but it is pretty self evident.
Still we'll see.Last edited by BlasterBates; 5 March 2010, 16:26.I'm alright JackComment

So how much beer do we have to drink to get sea levels back to normal, and how many man-hours drinking? Will having more icecubes in cocktails help counter the shrinking icecaps and how many polar bears will be saved?Originally posted by EternalOptimist View Postyou are missing the scientific point. If there is more water in the sea, ipso facto, there must be less in my beer.
Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.Comment
