We are told sea level is rising and will soon swamp all of our cities. Everybody knows that the Pacific island of Tuvalu is sinking. Around 1990 it became obvious the local tide-gauge did not agree - there was no evidence of 'sinking.' So scientists at Flinders University, Adelaide, set up new, modern, tide-gauges in 12 Pacific islands. Recently, the whole project was abandoned as there was no sign of a change in sea level at any of the 12 islands for the past 16 years. url anchor

Ludicrous fearmongering about sea levels has long been a staple of climate change alarmism. Crude Hollywood-style propaganda about doomsday sea levels is intimately linked with bad science the laughably incorrect climate models that were circulating in the 1970’s that led many of the same individuals who today preach about global warming to warn about the apocalyptic threat of global cooling url anchor
