Pretty much every long-term gauge in the world shows a perfectly linear trend going on a century, with absolutely no acceleration due to post-WWII industrialization. <br /><br />The exceptions tend to be places with large land subsidence, not sea level rise, i.e. cities built on landfill or on a sand bar. And one island in the South Pacific which suffered an earthquake and saw the land suddenly drop away.<br /><br />They couldn't post such a graph, because it would make a mockery of the doom-mongering.Auntie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777983027361603449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-48650258325090741972021-02-03T12:16:29.484-08:002021-02-03T12:16:29.484-08:00Natural variability is not climate change.Natural variability is not climate change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
