All That Glisters Is Not Gold
There was a story lately about Nils-Axel Mörner who said the sea rise (3mm/yr) claimed recently by scientists is a huge lie. A lot of guys I read linked to the story. Rush Limbaugh talked about it. I didn't link. Although there are good stories here and here about how neither Tuvalu nor the Maldives are being swamped by rising oceans, Nils-Axel Mörner is a flat out loon.
I think the oceans have been rising, about a foot a century, as they always do during the later part of an interglacial.
The photo is instructive. See all the ice berg rising above the ocean? There's 9 times more of it you can't see.
