    “Climate Cultists Are Fumbling for Excuses After Study Finds That Sea Levels Are Rising at Natural, Normal Rates”

    “The Journal of Marine Science and Engineering published the peer-
    reviewed study on Aug. 27, authored by Dutch engineering consultant
    Hessel G. Voortman and independent researcher Rob De Vos. The study
    concluded that the average rate of sea level rise in 2020 was well below other widely cited analyses, and that when projections were compared
    with local data, there was little evidence climate change was driving
    the acceleration seen in a few regions — a finding energy policy experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation challenges mainstream climate
    change orthodoxy.”

    ““Overall, this study indicates that in most places, sea levels are not rising unusually quickly. In the relatively few locations where sea
    levels are rising faster than average, the cause is almost certainly
    local factors such as land subsidence or ground compaction,” Sterling Burnett, director of the Arthur B. Robinson Center on Climate and Environmental Policy at The Heartland Institute, told the DCNF. “Global
    sea levels are currently rising more slowly than they have for much of
    the time since the last ice age ended — a period during which seas rose more than 400 feet. Any possible increase in the recent rate of rise
    compared with the past century is small, within the margin of error, and
    not outside historical patterns.””

    Once again the fear mongers have been proven wrong.

    Satellites confirm 1990s sea-level predictions were shockingly accurate

    Global sea-level change has now been measured by satellites for more than 30 years, and a comparison with climate projections from the mid-1990s shows that they were remarkably accurate, according to two Tulane University researchers whose findings
    were published in Earth's Future, an open-access journal published by the American Geophysical Union.

    "The ultimate test of climate projections is to compare them with what has played out since they were made, but this requires patience - it takes decades of observations," said lead author Torbjörn Törnqvist, Vokes Geology Professor in the
    Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences.

    "We were quite amazed how good those early projections were, especially when you think about how crude the models were back then, compared to what is available now," Törnqvist said. "For anyone who questions the role of humans in changing our
    climate, here is some of the best proof that we have understood for decades what is really happening, and that we can make credible projections."

    I know I already followed up on this but I imagine people want substantiated reports from reputable sources.
