Sea level dropping

OK, who got the Ouija board out? C'mon, own up? Was it you VectraMan?

There's an old market trading trick, where you draw a trend line on a chart and ask a six year old to say whether it's trending up or down.

My son's not quite at the advanced six year old stage (he's only five), but even he got three out of the four graphs as trending up. Coincidentally, they were the three long-term graphs.

I'm not sure what the point of that page was. That in the short term the levels are dropping but the longterm average is going up?

The point is that we know sea levels are rising slowly, because we have emerged from a little ice age. But is the rise steady, accelerating or slowing down ?
according to the AGW theory, the sea level rise should be accelerating. the graph shows that it isnt

pj reminds me of a girl I used to work with whose initials were bj.

We used to call her bj.

"hey, bj, over here please" shouted across the office to then see a very attractive blonde waddle over was always amusing.

If you post that graph a third time you'll summon the pjclarke demon again.

Does he appear if you say his name three times?

pjclarke... pjclarke... pj....

Maybe Battle Los Angeles isn't totally fiction and the aliens are slurping the water.

I have a mate who's well into all the UFO stuff. Goes to conventions, and plans on having his stag do at Tikaboo Peak 'overlooking' Area 51. Not sure I'm that keen unless there's a Chicken Ranch and bar in the vicinity. May have to get some Bill Hicks approved mushrooms for the trip.

Anyhow, he insists all the recent alien movies and TV series is to condition us for an alien encounter in the near future. My argument that it's probably down to special effects being good enough to pull it off on a reasonable budget, and it's not like there's ever been a lack of sci-fi stuff over the decades doesn't hold water with him.

I'll wind him up about this sea level stuff when I see him. Already plan on getting him a David Icke approved turquoise tracky.

No fears at the moment, it's still light.

That site (and hence you, BasterBates) is a joke.
The author clearly doesn't understand times series analysis.
He's why I think that: he puts the word "smoothing" [in the context of the time series data] in quotes as if it is some sort of dodgy hocus pocus whereas various techniques of smoothing (which is a proven mathematical technique) are de rigeur in analysis of time series data, especially for forecasting.
See Holt-Winters smoothing for example.

I find it amusing when ignoramuses try to be clever and are too stiupid to understand they are making complete tits of themselves.

Maybe this drop is being caused by the cooling trend in the global temperatures:

Roman 4x4's linked to Vesuvius eruption

looks like C02 causes volcanoes as well

Maybe it's draining away into a big hole underneath Japan?

And what would cause an earthquake?

Could global warming be causing recent earthquakes?

Yep, 4x4's!

Maybe all the CO2 means the sea is warmer, more warmth means more fish.

So perhaps the fish are drinking it all?
