Since the quoted article is reporting simple sea level measurements, you're going to have to a whole lot better than your silly "Who invents this stuff". Give us an accredited refutation and that would go a long way towards lending you some credibility.

In the meantime, because this kind of nonsense is routine coming from you, from this point as far as I'm concerned you join Holymoly and Yobbo on the Ignore list.

No need to invent, simply open your eyes and observe... I have noticed changes in seasonal prevailing breezes and so must conclude there is some merit in the title as espoused by Boston...

In SE Queensland the winters are wetter, colder in daytime but warmer at night... Summers are far more variable - even when considering and allowing for the historic "11 year cycle of changes of variations in the SOI" - which is an isometric measure of the state of 'el-nino'/'la nina'...

Remember, "global warming" is an oceanic water measured event, and it causes more clouds, and when these clouds become more prevelant over land the land temperatures DROP...

These variations you mention are trivial.
In Texas I found sharks teeth buried in a river bank in Austin. Thats 400 miles from the seashore.
There are caves just across the Texas/ New Mexico border that were caused by seawater erosion of limestone deposits, that's 1000 miles from the sea.

The only thing of note is that short minded humans have built cities all the way down to the seashore, and expect nothing will ever change.

Early in this thread I suggested that all the doom and gloom people should look at this as a once in several lifetimes opportunity. Go buy up seashore in Greenland, northern Canada and Russia to be the first to the new desirable land.

Thats the amazing thing about this planet, it self manages itself. But before we go ahead with carbon emission again its not going to take too much bashing before it could get upset.

Its this planets amazing capabilities that is the reason WE are here. It took millions of years for us to evolute and that requires a stable climate + - 40 degrees or so .

If you could find another like it then life will be there too.

A new ice age is on its way, so we should be making fur coats instead of arguing about stupid stuff, like this for instance:

http://www.newser.com/story/148615/g...airplanes.html "Critics say no one can specify the dangers because no solar plant has been bulit on this scale—but it might vaporize birds, blind drivers miles away, flip small airplanes, or even attract Air Force heat-seeking missiles."

The only continuos constant, is change.
You'd think we would have become used to the idea,
But some folks want to blame natural change on humans. WHY? So they can tax people. Duh!
