Over the past decades, detailed surveys of the Pacific Ocean atoll islands show no sign of drowning because of accelerated sea-level rise. Data reveal that no atoll lost land area, 88.6% of islands were either stable or increased in area, and only 11.4% of islands contracted. The Pacific Atolls are not being inundated because the sea level is rising much less than was thought. The average relative rate of rise and acceleration of the 29 long-term-trend (LTT) tide gauges of Japan, Oceania and West Coast of North America, are both negative, −0.02139 mm yr ⁻¹ and −0.00007 mm yr ⁻² respectively. Since the start of the 1900s, the sea levels of the Pacific Ocean have been remarkably stable.

So the expensive penthouse apartments on the top floors of these buildings will soon become ground floor maisonettes?

Do you think all the scientists and scientific organisations who overwhelmingly agree with the worldwide consensus that climate change is mainly caused by human activities are misguided lefties too?

Clearly they are on their payroll, or it's all big pharma fault...

When typical geological processes might involve changes of 1mm a decade, 2mm a year can reasonably be described as 'plunging'. Any geological change you can see happening in a single lifetime is incredibly quick.

The scientists just haven't had the education that Ziggy did, they are unaware of things like age ages and orbital perturbation and other natural cycles. IT contractors get far better education on such matters than geologists, ecologists, etc.

Do you think climate change is a figment of 'the left's' imagination?

Nope, I think it's part of the planet's natural cycle. We are of course part of the planet's ecosystem and it will react how it's going to react, compensate or not .

How did the planet react when it last overdosed on CO2? Oh yes, all the green stuff converted a lot of it to oxygen. You lefties need to stop being so arrogant as to think you're worth saving, humans are a transient species on this planet, just like all the others, including the dolphins who eventually will run out of fish.

All imo of course.

A fantastic lefty-biased article in the Grauniad, has a dig at capitalism and climate change!

"subsiding by approximately 1-2mm each year on average, with some areas of New York City plunging at double this rate"

They're jealous of the Millennium Skyscraper in San Francisco.

That's really sinking: 15" so far, with a nice lean to the north west.

Some new usage of the word plunging there

New York City is sinking in part due to the extraordinary weight of its vertiginous buildings, worsening the flooding threat posed to the metropolis from the rising seas, new research has found.

The Big Apple may be the city that never sleeps but it is a city that certainly sinks, subsiding by approximately 1-2mm each year on average, with some areas of New York City plunging at double this rate, according to researchers.
