Sea level risesThe 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' Nils-Axel Mörner has written a book on the topic: The Greatest Lie Ever Told - available direct from him.
