Sea level rises

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the worldwide group of climate scientists operating under the United Nations, has said that sea levels could rise substantially due to melting ice caused by global warming.

The IPCC 2001 Report had said that their estimate of sea level rises was 3 feet by 2100. The 2007 Report has reduced that to under 2 feet and said that the rate of sea-level rise is up from 2mm/yr to 3mm/year - no more than one foot in a century. (Source)

Nils-Axel Mörner, formerly chairman of the INQUA International Commission on Sea Level Change is a leading expert on sea level rises... and says the notion of large rises in the sea level is a huge 'scare' and a lie. He has done extensive research on sea levels in the Maldives. He says that sea levels rise and fall over time, and that the most it wouold rise is about 10 cm. He blames a reliance on computer models for the large estimates.

Rise of sea levels is 'the greatest lie ever told'
Christopher Booker - The Telegraph - 28 Mar 2009

Nils-Axel Mörner has written a book on the topic: The Greatest Lie Ever Told - available direct from him.
At Errors in IPCC Climate Science, run by Warwick Hughes, it says the 20 page booklet is $15. The following link includes FOUR of the figures from the booklet - click here.

Interesting documentary : "A very informative documentary about the real cause of global warming. It clearly discuss about the fact that CO2 is not cause"

Research paper: New perspectives for the future of the Maldives
7 May 2003. Abstract: Novel prospects for the Maldives do not include a condemnation to future flooding. The people of the Maldives have, in the past, survived a higher sea level of about 50-60 cm. The present trend lack signs of a sea level rise. On the contrary, there is firm morphological evidence of a significant sea level fall in the last 30 years."
