2015 Updated NOAA Tide Gauge Data Shows No Coastal Sea Level Rise Acceleration
NOAA has updated its extensive U.S. coastal tide gauge data measurement records (http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/slt...ltrends_us.htm) to include data through year 2015. These measurements include tide gauge data coastal locations for 25 West Coast, Gulf Coast and East Coast states along the Pacific Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. In addition 7 Pacific island groups and 6 Atlantic island groups also have coastal location tide gauge data measurements updated as well.
In all more than 200 coastal locations are included in these measurements with more than 100 of these coastal locations with recorded data periods in excess of 50 years in duration. None of these updated NOAA tide gauge measurement data records show coastal location sea level rise acceleration occurring anywhere on the U.S. coasts or Pacific or Atlantic island groups.
In June of 1988 testimony was provided before Congress by various scientists, including NASA’s Dr. James Hansen, claiming that man made greenhouse gas emissions were responsible for increasing global temperatures with the the New York Times reporting (http://www.nytimes.com/1988/06/24/us...pagewanted=all ) “Global Warming Has Begun, Experts Tells Senate”.
The Times article noted that “The rise in global temperature is predicted to cause a thermal expansion of the oceans and to melt glaciers and polar ice, thus causing sea levels to rise by one to four feet by the middle of the next century. Scientists have already detected a slight rise in sea levels.”
Its now been 28 years since the conjecture of these early sea level rise climate alarmist claims was presented to Congress. However the latest updated NOAA coastal tide gauge measurement data shows locations likely to experience only inches of sea level rise by mid century (not one to four feet as climate alarmists speculated to Congress in 1998) with that increase consistent with long standing and unchanging rates of sea level rise measured at these coastal locations. The longest NOAA tide gauge data record is at the Battery, New York with a 160 year long measurement period. This location along with all other U.S. coastal locations show no sea level rise acceleration.
Climate alarmists continue to try and mislead the public by claiming that the Statue of Liberty is in “imminent jeopardy” because of rising sea levels but the unchanging rate of sea level rise present at the Battery would require more than 20,000 years to cover the base (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2013/08/...tue-of-liberty/). That time period hardly qualifies as “imminent jeopardy”.

So sea levels are rising but the rate isn't accelerating yet?
Got it.

The data is from NOAA, but you are far too stupid to bother to read that!

Sea levels have been rising for over 150 years, the salient point is that it is pretty much a straight line plot. So try as you might it is impossible to construct a doomsday scenario about coastlines disappearing anytime in the next 1000 years. I mean personally I would love you and your smithy to end up in the briny but alas you're safe.

And NYC & DC are lower. Too bad. They need to be rinsed out badly.

So what? It proves that warming alarmists are full of shit. Sea levels were rising way back in the mid 19th century. That demonstrates to me and anybody with an ounce of nous that it is a natural phenomenon. If you don't like the data take it up with NOAA!!

Anyone with an ounce of knowledge knows that the Industrial Revolution was 70 years old by 1860,
that coal was being burned in earnest by then and that deforestation of the northet hemisphere was well underway by then.
Sorry Tom, you have only proven that man made climate change is very real, not the opposite.

Only a dope like you would not be aware that the Little Ice Age finished around 1850.

There was also a period of warming between 1910-1940 followed by a cooling phase between 1940-1970.

The amount of human attributable CO2 back in the 19th century was very small, consequently any climate forcing effect would also be very small.

The combined effect of burning fossil coal and deforestation was not insignificant. Idgit.
