Maggie's Farm

Yeah, I laugh about "sea level rise." We had an article just a few years ago saying sea levels were going to rise about 12 feet, measuring from where they showed in on "sample" pictures of buildings.

I have been jogging regularly along the beach since 1981. I can assure you, the sea level has not gone up perceptibly during that time, whereas under the predictions, the whole beach park should be under water now.

There are major contradictions on NOAA's own website. They had one part with all the alarmism on global warming, and sea level rise. And then on another page they have the actual sea levels and rates of rise (mainly caused by the slow subsidence of the neighboring land mass, which is why it varies from place to place). These actual rates are what are used to measure mean water or mean high water, which are used to determine the seaward boundary between private property and government property. All these charts show an extremely low rate of rise which has been consistent for over a hundred years. We are talking changes of around a millimeter per year.

Here's the official sea level rise for Honolulu, based on measurements going back to 1900:

"The mean sea level trend is 1.41 millimeters/year with a 95% confidence interval of +/- 0.22 mm/yr based on monthly mean sea level data from 1905 to 2014 which is equivalent to a change of 0.46 feet in 100 years."
