Co-author Professor Eelco Rohling, from the Australian National University and formerly of the University of Southampton, adds: «By developing a novel method that realistically approximates future
sea level rise, we have been able to add new insight to the debate and show that there is substantial evidence for a
significant recent
acceleration in the
sea level rise on a global and regional
level.
From the comments section of the paper he highlighted: «Firstly, it continues to indicate that in New Zealand, at least, there has been neither a
significant change in the rate of
sea level rise nor any detectable
acceleration.»
Here's a quote from the conclusion: «Firstly, it continues to indicate that in New Zealand, at least, there has been neither a
significant change in the rate of
sea level rise nor any detectable
acceleration.»
It is possible, therefore, that the effects of recent
accelerations in climate change have not yet started to have a
significant contribution to or impact on current
sea levels; but based on international scientific opinion, it is more a case of when, rather than if.
«The global mean
sea level for the period January 1900 to December 2006 is estimated to rise at a rate of 1.56 ± 0.25 mm / yr which is reasonably consistent with earlier estimates, but we do not find
significant acceleration»
Within present uncertainties, observations and models are both consistent with a lack of
significant acceleration of
sea level rise during the 20th century.
In 2001, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that «No
significant acceleration in the rate of
sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected.»
«There is no statistically
significant acceleration in
sea level rise that can be attributed to human caused warming» But there is
acceleration.
There has been no
significant sea rise
acceleration over the past 50 years despite rising atmospheric CO2
levels.
Re: «There is no statistically
significant acceleration in
sea level rise that can be attributed to human caused warming»
That rebuts your statement that: «There is no statistically
significant acceleration in
sea level rise that can be attributed to human caused warming»
That high number was from Church & White 2006, who wrote, «Here, we... find a... 20th century rate of
sea -
level rise of 1.7 ± 0.3 mm yr — 1 and a
significant acceleration of
sea -
level rise of 0.013 ± 0.006 mm yr — 2.»
«Sure, they'll probably try to confuse us with trick questions: Like why, apart from natural 1998 and 2015 El Nino spikes, satellites haven't recorded any statistically
significant global warming for nearly two decades; why
sea levels have been rising at a constant rate of 7 inches per century without
acceleration; and why no category 3 - 5 hurricanes have struck the U.S. coast since October 2005 — a record lull since 1900.
Here, we extend the reconstruction of global mean
sea level back to 1870 and find a
sea -
level rise from January 1870 to December 2004 of 195 mm, a 20th century rate of
sea -
level rise of 1.7 ± 0.3 mm yr − 1 and a
significant acceleration of
sea -
level rise of 0.013 ± 0.006 mm yr − 2.
The reason I say it is: Accelerating
sea level rise — «Church and White (2006) found a
sea -
level rise from January 1870 to December 2004 of 195 mm, a 20th century rate of
sea -
level rise of 1.7 ± 0.3 mm per yr and a
significant acceleration of
sea -
level rise of 0.013 ± 0.006 mm per year.»
as the paper is open to public comments, I've submitted one: http://www.atmos-chem-phys-discuss.net/15/20059/2015/acpd-15-20059-2015-discussion.html Points made: — No statistically
significant acceleration of
sea level rise since 1700
