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.

In his retirement, he seems to fulfil the public stereotype of the eccentric scientist pretty well, spending his spare time out with his dowsing rods

Dr Mörner, who for 35 years has been using every known scientific method to study sea levels all over the globe, is that all this talk about the sea rising is nothing but a colossal scare story.
Despite fluctuations down as well as up, "the sea is not rising," he says. "It hasn't risen in 50 years." If there is any rise this century it will "not be more than 10cm (four inches), with an uncertainty of plus or minus 10cm".

Probably.

Weather <> Climate
Jonas Lindvall, the controller of the icebreaking unit at the maritime administration, said sea ice in the area would not normally have been a problem for merchant ships.
However, onshore winds of about 72km/h (45mph) had pushed the ice rapidly towards the coast and created ridges which the merchant ships could not cope with, he said. Icebreakers subsequently had to be deployed by both Sweden and Finland.
"They got caught outside the archipelago, where there is moving ice. It's hard to navigate," Mr Lindvall told the AFP news agency, adding he had not seen so many ships stuck at once since the mid-1980s.
The weather conditions are expected to improve on Friday.

The met office released its report today reaffirming its support for AGW science and warning of the consequences of not acting.
There were two stark assertions in their website, which are interesting.
Sea levels around the uk have risen 10cm in the last hundred and ten years
sea levels around the uk have risen 3 cm in the last ten years
might be worth a scrute
