climate science: REPORT SHOWS DECLINE IN SEA LEVELS

Here's an interesting report which refers to a study carried out this year into sea levels all over the world. What's interesting is that thi study shows that sea levels have actually declined over the least three years, in marked contrast to the ever more doom-laden predictions from the 'alarmist' camp. These figures at least cast doubt on the situation, if they are not enought to completely refute the alarmists.

variations in the earth's orbit, that kind of thing. Warmer meant wetter [why is warmer supposed to mean both too wet AND too dry now?], Africa turned into the Garden of Eden, our ancestors started to wander, procreating and populating – first throughout Africa, then Arabia, Asia and eventually Europe.

[Wigley quotes: He doesn't sound like a leaker]: Hacked email climate scientists receive death threats | Environment | guardian.co.uk

Many other CRU scientists and their colleagues have received torrents of abusive and threatening e-mails since the leaks first began in mid-November 2009. Tom Wigley, previous Director of CRU and now at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Boulder, US, has been horrified by the e-mails he and other colleagues have received. "They are truly stomach-turning and show what sort of venomous monsters we are up against," he told environmentalresearchweb.
... "None of it affects the science one iota," said Wigley. "Accusations of data distortion or faking are baseless. I can rebut and explain all of the apparently incriminating e-mails that I have looked at, but it is going to be very time consuming to do so."
