Ten reasons why examining climate change policy through an ethical lens is a practical imperative « Climate Progress

[ Donald A. Brown, Associate Professor for environmental ethics, science, and law at (Michael Mann's) Penn State.] If ethical and justice arguments about why climate change policies are necessary are taken off the table in the climate change debate, it is like a baseball pitcher unilaterally agreeing to not throw any fast balls or breaking balls during a World Series game.

World Climate Report » GPS Aids in Sea Level Rise Debate

Here are three final thoughts from reviewing this research. First of all, the IPCC likes to use the 1.8 mm per year for sea level rise, but Wöppelmann et al. lead us to a value of 1.6 mm per year. Ten percent of the sea level rise just disappeared. Second, as we look a the GPC-corrected data in the figure, we see no evidence of any acceleration in sea level rise that might support the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite estimate of 3.1 mm per year since 1993 (a rate that is actually in decline). And third, the earth warmed from 1910 to 1940, cooled from 1940 to 1975, warmed from 1975 to 2000, and neither warmed or cooled from 2000 to present. The sea level rose rather monotonically throughout all four periods?
