SLR 2016

Fears of rapid Sea Level Rise (SLR) remain fixed in some minds.

Green Party Prez Candidate Jill Stein Predicts One Foot Of Sea Level Rise Per Year

Below is a compendium of papers and articles addressing sea level rise in 2016. What is the latest? Is sea level rising at increasing rates? Is there any evidence of a rapid rise in our future?

Claimed 3.2 Millimeters Per Year Sea Level Rise Seriously Challenged By Recently Published Scientific Papers!

Broken Altimetry? 225 Tide Gauges Show Sea Level Rising Only 1.48 mm Per Year …Less Than Half The Satellite-Claimed Rate!

2015 Updated NOAA Tide Gauge Data Shows No Coastal Sea Level Rise Acceleration

Worldwide tide gauge comparisons show no acceleration in sea level rise

Scientists: Tropical Pacific Islands Are Not Being Drowned By Rising Seas

All Natural… Four New Scientific Publications Show No Detectable Sea Level Rise Effect of CO2

30 Scientific Papers Reveal Inverse CO2 – Sea Level Signal: As CO2 Rises, Sea Level Falls

Falling Sea Level

The sea levels are now reducing in the “hotspots of acceleration” of Washington and New York

Scientists: Evidence doesn’t support rapid future sea level rise

Neither Rising Sea Levels Nor Extreme Weather Getting Worse

Sea Level Rise: ‘Just The Facts’: ‘Sea-level rise is not accelerating, & has not accelerated since 1920s’   

Sea levels are NOT rising rapidly, in major blow for environmental activists

Sea Level Sanity there is a problem of orders of magnitude difference in the sea levels computed (by climate models) and measured (by tide gauges).

The conclusion to be drawn from the above recent research is that the magnitude of SLR, if any,  is difficult to gauge but the measurements we have do not show an acceleration of SLR and in some studies falling sea level have been measured. This not sound like a problem worth worrying about and indeed oceanfront land values do not indicate a fear of encroaching seas a they are not falling to reflect an imminent danger. Likewise, hotels, resorts and airports continue to be built on low lying island archipelagos. Where SLR is concerned:
