The northeastern U.S. coast is likely to see the world's biggest sea level rise from man-made global warming, a new study predicts.

More computer model tea leaf reading based on the false assumption that the Earth is still warming and that warming will accelerate due to rising CO2 levels.

Rising CO2 levels haven't prevented it from cooling very dramatically in the last two years. But even before that, after the peak of warming in 1998, temperatures plateaued at a lower level before the quick drop.

Here is the place to see it all up-dated monthly.http://www.drroyspencer.com/latest-global-temperatures/

Sea-level rise will be less than 3 inches (7 cm),
not 7 meters
By Lord Christopher Monckton

(Excerpts) “As a contributor to the IPCC’s 2007 report, I share the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore. Yet I and many of my peers in the British House of Lords - through our hereditary element the most independent-minded of lawmakers - profoundly disagree on fundamental scientific grounds with both the IPCC and my co-laureate’s alarmist movie An Inconvenient Truth, which won this year’s Oscar for Best Sci-Fi Comedy Horror.

The IPCC has deliberately, persistently and prodigiously exaggerated

“Two detailed investigations by Committees of the House confirm that the IPCC has deliberately, persistently and prodigiously exaggerated not only the effect of greenhouse gases on temperature but also the environmental consequences of warmer weather.

“My contribution to the 2007 report illustrates the scientific problem. The report’s first table of figures - inserted by the IPCC’s bureaucrats after the scientists had finalized the draft, and without their consent - listed four contributions to sea-level rise. The bureaucrats had multiplied the effect of melting ice from the Greenland and West Antarctic Ice Sheets by 10.

“. ..The IPCC, on receiving my letter, quietly corrected, moved and relabeled the erroneous table, posting the new version on the internet and earning me my Nobel prize.

If scientists are calculating 3 feet by the end of the century does that mean coastal cities will be 1 1/2ft under the water by 2050?

I am aware of science research that is motivated by many things, certain environmental agendas being one and money being another close runner. It is important to remeber that it is all speculation and that the truth is in the air we breath( higher instances of asthma, lung and breathing difficulties), the water we drink (being scarcly available or richly polluted) the increase of inclimant weather or decrease depending on where you are. The truth is in our own faces, alarmist reasoning will always turn some off of the reality of the life cycle changes that are happening the world over and not just in the environment but also in the bodies and minds of the youth we are raising in this modern world. There are agendas everywhere let's see the unseen and read between the lines. Teaching the children to see the whole truth will help them to make wise decisions instead of mearly discounting people based on our own zealot crusade to prove someone right or wrong. Lets see the data. lets check our tide books.

Christina...could we pleas stick to the dumb idea that the ocean is going to rise because we use energy that produces CO2.

The rest of it is interesting, but irrelevant.The scary part of this hidden agenda, besides stealing, is what may turn out to be the concept of "useless breathers" akin to Hitler and Kissinger's "useless eaters

."Writing for the scientific journal Global Environmental Change, two academics at Oregon State University - Paul Murtaugh and Michael Schlax - identify this lifestyle change in a paper entitled “Reproduction and the Carbon Legacies of Individuals.” In this treatise they attempt to quantify, in their words, “the carbon legacy of an individual,” and to examine “how it is affected by the individual’s reproductive choices,” based on the premise that “a person is responsible for the carbon emissions of his descendants, weighted by their relatedness to him.”
