Remember When The IPCC's Climate Experts Predicted Pacific Islands Would
Disappear Due To Global Warming
As always, the UN and its elite climate "science" agency are abysmally
wrong ... once again ... failed predictions seem to be the preferred
coin of the IPCC realm ... begs the question: will the IPCC even achieve
10% of their catastrophic global warming predictions being correct over
the next few decades? ... highly unlikely, due to its political agenda
and the absurd reliance on climate models that simply don't work as
advertised.....

Per this article, the catastrophic sea rise predictions of CAGW
proponents are found to be without any merit.
The new study examined 118 years of empirical evidence and discovered
that small Pacific islands are not disappearing under the waves of a
rising ocean. Instead, the tiny atoll islands are actually growing larger.
It's another climate change 'Ooopsie'.
IPCC Climate Change: The Bogus Claims of Catastrophic Sea Level Rise,
Pacific Ocean Edition
Bogus claims of catastrophic disasters dominate the IPCC climate change
reports - extreme exaggerations of sea level rise affecting Pacific
islands is common but without any scientific merit

Ipcc climate change sea level rise pacific tarawaRead here. The United
Nation's IPCC has been extremely open about their perversion of climate
science and how the political agenda rules the roost (the UN's Rio
conference being the next).
A key means to manipulate the world's policymakers and the public is to
wildly exaggerate potential catastrophic disasters inferring a high
likelihood. A favorite IPCC "disaster" is the rising seas caused by
human CO2 emissions. A rise so high that will consume low-lying tropical
islands and their cultures. But does that "looming" disaster have real
merit?
Nope. Coastal tide gauges from around the world, documented in study
after study, show that the current sea level rise is very modest and
might reach a measly 3 to 7 inches by 2100.
But what about the vulnerable natives of Pacific island atolls? A recent
peer reviewed article describes the situation of Tarawa of the Gilbert
Islands.
"These common images of flooded homes and waves crashing across the
causeways—collected during an anomalous event on islets susceptible to
flooding due in part to local modifications to the environment—can
provide the false impression that Tarawa is subject to constant flooding
because of sea level rise...Many individual observations of erosion,
flooding, or groundwater salinization, recorded in community
consultations for internationally funded climate change adaptation
programs, are thus attributed to climate change without scientific
analysis...These events are presented as examples of climate change
impacts in promotional materials and at international events...The
failure to consider the contribution of natural variability and direct
human modifications can lead to misattribution of flooding events or
shoreline changes to sea level rise...Instead of incorrectly attributing
individual flood events or shoreline changes to global sea level rise,
scientists and climate communicators can use such occurrences to educate
the public about the various natural and human processes that affect sea
level, the shoreline, and the shape of islands."
Conclusion: The IPCC climate change reports include wild exaggerations
about potential climate disasters. There is no empirical evidence
supporting these looming disasters from human CO2 emissions. The United
Nations promulgates these non-scientific claims as fact at UN-sponsored
conferences in order to promote their wealth redistribution political
agenda. A classic example of this misrepresentation is the fraud that
Pacific islands will be swamped by an extraordinary sea level rise,
exclusively from human CO2 emissions.
Tide Gauge Station Data Analysis: Global Sea Level Rise Not Expected To
Exceed 7 Inches By 2100 AD
When determining the rate of global sea level rise, the best method is
to conduct a tide gauge station data analysis - latest analysis reveals
claims of "accelerating" sea level rise to be totally bogus

Read here. Multiple "scientific" personalities seeking fame, fortune and
influence (such as the likes of Hansen, Cullen and Rahmstorf) have
attempted to frighten the public and policymakers by stating that global
warming was causing an acceleration of global sea level rise. Depending
on the given personality, they predict that recent "acceleration" will
cause sea levels to increase anywhere from 4 feet to 75 feet by 2100.
Empirically speaking, these "predictions" are utter nonsense with
literally no facutal basis - and, btw, that's why exceptionally lazy
and/or amazingly stupid NY Times and Washington Post "journalists" just
love these hysterical claims.
Per the actual tide gauge data plots shown above though, it is more than
obvious that the readers of the mainstream press have been significantly
mislead by the catastrophic global warming hucksters. The chart on the
left represents annual sea level change since 1900. The red line is the
10-year average.
One does not have to be a climate scientist to realize that this chart
unequivocally reveals a pattern of constant annual variation in sea
levels with absolutely zero acceleration.
The plot on the right, examines the 10-year average in even more more
detail. Since 1900, the trend of the 10-yr average actually shows a
deceleration, not an acceleration of sea level rise. Using the 10-yr
average at the end of 2011 as the sea rise gospel, by year 2100, sea
levels would only increase by some 7 inches - not exactly the millions
of "climate refugees" type of catastrophe (another spectacularly wrong
AGW huckster prediction) that the MSM has been caught parroting without
due diligence.
Conclusion: The real world empricial evidence clearly exposes the global
warming (AGW) catastrophic hucksterism that James Hansen et al.
practice. Paul Homewood provided the above analysis of tide gauge
station data analysis, but his work is not the only research proving
that modern global sea level rise is modest and not accelerating in a
catastrophic manner.
