CU October Update : Sea Level Has Dropped 15 mm So Far This Year

The University of Colorado just updated their sea level data, and it now shows a drop of 15 mm since the end of last year. If that were to continue, sea level would fall close to 1.5 metres (5 feet) by the end of the century.

Obviously that isn’t going to happen. So what’s my point – Joe?

My point is that people keep saying it is the hottest year ever – and the Greenland and and Antarctic ice sheets are melting down and will wipe out coastal cities in a few decades.

But the data shows that isn’t true, and that you (Joe) are spreading misinformation. In order to reach Hansen’s 5 meters per century, sea level would have to rise over 50 mm this year, not fall 15 mm.
