HotCold Take: Seas To Rise One Foot By 2050

Observations be damned, the climate cult has a scaremongering narrative to propagate

The sea will rise 12 inches by 2050. Here’s what we can do to get ready | CivicCon

Rob Young doesn’t know why climate change and sea level rise are such political hot buttons.

Part of the problem, he suspects, is that there are a lot of people who profit by keeping our country divided. But, he said, another part of the problem is scientists like himself haven’t done a good job explaining to people how and why these issues will affect their livelihoods and communities.

Or, bare with me, it could be that the science is super-shoddy and the policy proposals all seem to be about giving government more of our hard earned money along with government taking more of our freedom and life choices away.

By the way, it was nice of Young to take a long, fossil fueled trip from North Carolina to Pensacola, Florida, for the conference

Communities will be affected by sea level rise depending on where they are, with their elevation playing a major role, but he said the global average is expected to be about 12 to 14 inches of rise by 2050.

“That may not sound like a lot, but that’s how much sea level rise we had over the last century,” Young said. “That’s happening in the next 30 years.”

Actually, sea rise during the 20th Century was 8 inches, which is the average sea rise per century over the last 8,000 years. Meaning that a Holocene warm period should have much more sea rise, as it will be much lower during the cool periods. That’s the way averages work. So, this is a bunch of scaremongering mule fritters, not science.

Since the conference is in Pensacola

2.59mm equals .1019 inches. So, around 10.2 inches every 100 years. 5 inches every 50 years. Meaning 3 inches by 2050. That’s observation. That’s recorded fact. Perhaps we will get more than average by 2050, because we should get more than average during a warm period. But, if we do not get 12 inches by 2050, who is held responsible? Will the media for broadcasting this? How about Young? Who pays the price for this doomsaying?

    LOL. The anti-science cult (so-called “skeptics”) slice out small segments of data (termed cherry-picking) to back their claims. You see claims alleging the Earth has been cooling the past 3 years! But in fact, St Louis has warmed 40F!!! (Well, since last week).

    Curiously, Mx Teach picked a century of Pensacola sea level data, but in the past ten years the slope has increased to about 0.015 meter per year or… let’s see, times 6, carry the one… 15 mm/year. Let’s hope that’s a statistical fluke!! 15 mm/year x 30 years = 0.45 meter, meaning a foot and half by 2050. That’s observation. That’s recorded fact.

    Teach typed: bare with me

    No thanks.

    Teach asks: who is held responsible? Will the media for broadcasting this? How about Young? Who pays the price for this doomsaying?

    If Teach and other cult members are wrong and convince others to do nothing, “who is held responsible? Will the media for broadcasting this? How about Young? Who pays the price for this doomsaying?”

      No, it’s not observation and it’s not recorded facts. How could you observe something that hasn’t happened, and may not happen? You can’t, so it’s not fact, it’s called an assertion. I’ve seen this time and time again as alarmists take a projection of what might happen in the future and talk as if it’s a fact. The only facts here are J’s reading comprehension is very suspect..
      Oh, and by the way, the globe has been cooling for 6 years, not 3

        Jill: No, it’s not observation and it’s not recorded facts.

        The quote was directly from Teach’s screed. Speaking of reading comprehension, Jill, here’s what Teach typed: So, around 10.2 inches every 100 years. 5 inches every 50 years. Meaning 3 inches by 2050. That’s observation. That’s recorded fact.

        Jill, are you calling Teach a liar?

        Note that Teach projected that by 2050 the sea would rise only 3 inches. Are you calling Teach a liar for projecting what would happen in 2050?

        Jill, the Earth has warmed 0.16°C in the past year! And 0.23°C in the past decade. And 0.95°C in the past 50 years. Are you STILL denying that the Earth is warming? Remember how the Earth was cooling after 1998? What happened to that “End of Global Warming”?

        • Jl says:

          Are you still denying the earth has cooled for the last 6 years? Because it has. Funny how that happens with rising CO2. “Rose .95C in the last 50 years…”. So? It’s the effects that would matter, not “warming”. Wake us when you have evidence the warming is “dire”.
          “Are you calling Teach..” No, it’s not recorded fact, because it hasn’t happened.
          And let’s see, it was you who wrote “…meaning a foot and a half by 2050. That’s observation, that’s recorded fact”. So no, it’s not “recorded” because it hasn’t happened, and it’s not observation because…it hasn’t happened.

    Hey, we already know that the World Could Maybe Breach 1.5C In 5 Years, which would be before the dummkopf from Delaware’s plan to have all vehicles sold in the US be zero emissions, so forget it, we’re doomed, we’re all doomed!

      Good talk.

      We’ll have to hope the farce from Florida will fix the world.
