Climate Scientists Withdraw IPCC-Related Article Claiming Sea is Rising

Can anyone an article or claim put forth by the IPCC that is correct?

OOPS Never-mind! Climate Scientists Withdraw IPCC-Related Article Claiming
Sea is Rising

"No nation, however large or small, wealthy or poor, can escape the impact
of climate change. Rising sea levels threaten every coastline," Said
President Obama at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh last year.
The President forgot to mention that ever since the last ice-age 10,000
years ago, sea levels have been rising. So unless the Neanderthals imitating
Al Gore and flying private jets and driving gas guzzlers, rising sea levels
are not caused by global warming but by natural phenomena.

Last year two scientists published a paper which said the ocean rise was
accelerating and unless we did something about global warming the sea levels
would rise by up to 82cm (32 1/3 inches) by the end of century. But "OOPS
they were were wrong, the report's author now says true estimate is still
unknown so the report was withdrawn.


The study, published in 2009 in Nature Geoscience, one of the top journals
in its field, confirmed the conclusions of the 2007 report from the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It used data over the last
22,000 years to predict that sea level would rise by between 7cm and 82cm by
the end of the century.

At the time, Mark Siddall, from the Earth Sciences Department at the
University of Bristol, said the study "strengthens the confidence with which
one may interpret the IPCC results". The IPCC said that sea level would
probably rise by 18cm-59cm by 2100, though stressed this was based on
incomplete information about ice sheet melting and that the true rise could
be higher.

Many scientists criticised the IPCC approach as too conservative, and
several papers since have suggested that sea level could rise more. Martin
Vermeer of the Helsinki University of Technology, Finland and Stefan
Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany
published a study in December that projected a rise of 0.75m to 1.9m by
2100.

Siddall said that he did not know whether the retracted paper's estimate
of sea level rise was an overestimate or an underestimate.

Announcing the formal retraction of the paper from the journal, Siddall
said: "It's one of those things that happens. People make mistakes and
mistakes happen in science." He said there were two separate technical
mistakes in the paper, which were pointed out by other scientists after it
was published. A formal retraction was required, rather than a correction,
because the errors undermined the study's conclusion.

"Retraction is a regular part of the publication process," he said.
"Science is a complicated game and there are set procedures in place that
act as checks and balances."

Nature Publishing Group, which publishes Nature Geoscience, said this was
the first paper retracted from the journal since it was launched in 2007.

The paper - entitled "Constraints on future sea-level rise from past
sea-level change" - used fossil coral data and temperature records derived
from ice-core measurements to reconstruct how sea level has fluctuated with
temperature since the peak of the last ice age, and to project how it would
rise with warming over the next few decades.

In a statement the authors of the paper said: "Since publication of our
paper we have become aware of two mistakes which impact the detailed
estimation of future sea level rise. This means that we can no longer draw
firm conclusions regarding 21st century sea level rise from this study
without further work.

"One mistake was a miscalculation; the other was not to allow fully for
temperature change over the past 2,000 years. Because of these issues we
have retracted the paper and will now invest in the further work needed to
correct these mistakes."

In the Nature Geoscience retraction, in which Siddall and his colleagues
explain their errors, Vermeer and Rahmstorf are thanked for "bringing these
issues to our attention".
Anybody know if Wal-Mart will allow me to return that SCUBA gear I bought
last year when the rising ocean report first came out?This is getting a bit
silly, its time for the IPCC to post the video of Gilda Ratner's Emly
Litella on their site.... oh, never mind

Evidence that Al Gore does not believe in the sea-level rise he preaches

Below are two real-estate advertisements. Would Gore invest in a seaside
property if he thought the sea was going to rise and swamp him?

FIGURE EIGHT ISLAND REAL ESTATE

This private, peaceful ocean side haven offers bright blue waters and long
stretches of beach, and is home to notables like Al Gore, John Edwards, and
others who relish seclusion and natural surroundings. This 1,300 acre 5 mile
island does not offer hotels, shopping centers, and tourism. However if bird
watching, quiet walks and sunbathing is your strong suit you may find life
here appealing. There are only 441 homes, no condos, but it does offer
proximity to activity rich Wilmington, NC. Enjoy the myriad architectural
styles of neatly cared for properties if you can get onto the island. If
this is your style, Figure 8 Island may be your place.

Figure Eight Island is one of the places in North Carolina that is home to
many celebrity houses. Celebrities like John Edwards and former Vice
President Al Gore own houses on this island. The island has beautiful views
as it is located between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean.
The entire island only has about 440 houses making it an ideal place for
couples and individuals to relax. It is also home to many beautiful exotic
animal species. If you are looking for a vacation house, check out the
Figure Eight island real estate. Wrightsville beach real estate also offers
many bargains and great houses.

Has anyone heard from God regarding this catastrophe yet?

LOL!

Nothing like seeing the true believers in the inerrancy of the IPCC posting
articles from the RealClimate, the official web site of the Global Warming
Fundamentalists.

Well, the island nations, like the Mauritanians are pretty durn worked
up about it.

Oh, I see, you think the earth is sinking, not that the ocean is rising.

 

Yes. Some of the earth is sinking and some is rising.
(The so called "Climate Scientists" may or may not know that either)

 

That's been preety obvious, hasn't it?

 

Here is what he said DIMWIT:

If you had a proper news reader you would show
the previous message correctly.


It was:

No Cigar.

You have had your ass beat so many times, it now seems
normal operation for you.
