The New York Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) recently unveiled their latest projections for future sea level rise in New York City. You can view their presentation here, but in my opinion it’s very boring. There has been a lot … Continue reading →

NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) has caused quite a stir with their latest report about sea level rise. The statement attracting the most attention is: Sea level along the U.S. coastline is projected to rise, on average, 10 – … Continue reading →

The most interesting thing about Frederikse et al. is that not only do they publish a new sea level reconstruction based on tide gauge data, to reckon how much sea level has risen, they also attempt to reckon where that … Continue reading →

Here’s the graph from NOAA of sea level at Pensacola, FL (tide gauge data) Some might actually look at that and think “steady rise,” but the readers of this blog would probably think otherwise. Here’s my graph of the same … Continue reading →

For years, the Dave Burtons and Judith Currys of this world have shown a graph (from NOAA) of sea level measured by a single tide gauge at one location, followed by proclamations of “no acceleration” and/or “sea level rise has … Continue reading →
