Sea Levels Rising Or Shorelines Sinking: It’s “1984” Again

Roanoke Times, 9-3-2014, Pg 5: Rising sea levels worry state panel.

-
“The seas have been rising and now they’re rising faster. They were rising about one foot per century but now, at Virginia’s tidewater, they’re rising at two feet per century.”
-
But, there’s interesting news in "the very last sentence" of this dissertation:
-
“In Virginia, sea levels are rising faster than the global average because the land is sinking!”

-
-
Yet another chapter in the Man-made AGW Global Warming Armageddon Hand-book with the Media gleefully abetting!
The nasty people in Orwells “1984” couldn’t have outdone these Alarmists!

The whole article is about Rising Sea Levels and the punch line is “The Land is Falling”.
Talk about your Chicken Little! Something about the Chesapeake Bay being formed by a bolide (meteorite) about 35 million years ago. There’s also this thing about plate tectonics. And there’s the fact that 16,000 years ago the shoreline was out 50 miles at the continental shelf and the sea level was 400 feet lower than today. Talk about your sea levels rising with no man-made CO2 to be found!

Note the very major variations in Sea Level per year. With variations like this one can certainly make a mountain out of an ant hill, and these Alarmists are really good at doing that!

-
The oceans are rising and have continued to rise for 22,000 years without the involvement of any man-made AGW CO2

The following alludes to the hypothesis that there are some Skeptics in the US Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and they have published a document questioning the Obama-Mann-Gore-Warner Plans for CO2 government control.
It is difficult to believe the following actually happened – and if it did – these people are almost sure to have been fired by now.

Photosynthesis: On September 4, the Minority Staff of the US Senate Environment and Public Works Committee released a remarkable document for Washington on global warming/climate change. Critical Thinking on Climate Change: Empirical Evidence to Consider Before Taking Regulatory Action and Implementing Economic Policies contains a section discussing photosynthesis and the benefits of enhanced atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2

Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants using light energy from the sun convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose sugar and oxygen gas through a series of reactions. The general equation for photosynthesis is:

carbon dioxide + water =[+ sic] light energy => glucose + oxygen

6CO2 + 6H2O = [+ sic] light energy=> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Humans exhale CO2 at a rate of approximately 40,000 parts per million (ppm). Humans inhale CO2 at the rate it currently exists in the atmosphere, which is just below 400 ppm. Accordingly, humans exhale CO2 at a much higher rate than they inhale. Not a single former [EPA] Administrator [who testified before the committee] could answer a question on these rates.

As all four EPA Administrators made clear, EPA’s decision to regulate CO2 is the first time the agency has ever regulated a gas that is necessary to and makes life on earth possible. As well, it is also the only gas the federal government has ever tried to regulate that humans exhale at a greater rate than they inhale. Given both these facts, the claim that CO2 is a “pollutant” deserves further scrutiny.

Finally, all four former EPA Administrators were unable to name even a single product that could be made out of wind and sunlight. Everything in modern society, from computers, laptops, solar panels, iPads and flat screen televisions, to advanced medical equipment and all our nation’s critical infrastructure is built out of fossil resources and their derivative products.

Perhaps the above equation will remind the members of the Department of Agriculture who have forgotten the concept of photosynthesis and are busily calculating the bureaucratically contrived Social Cost of Carbon. The process creates the food and the oxygen animals need to live.

Other updates in the report include:

• Wildfires and forestry management have garnered additional public attention of late, and so was split into its own section with additional information.

• A new section has been added on the impacts European countries have seen as a result of their climate regulations.

• A new section has been added on Polar Bear populations and claims of mass extinctions.

• Nearly all sections have been updated with new information.

• An addendum was added to provide examples of how the Obama Administration’s National Climate Assessment report ignores critical scientific evidence when submitted by top researchers and scientists

The report presents numerous critical questions on topics such as climate models, benefits of CO2, sea level rise, extreme weather events, polar bears and the purpose of climate regulations. The report contains a chapter titled ‘The Science is Settled: The Government Can’t Control Climate.”

There is now a different mode of thinking by some in Washington that directly contrasts that popular mindset that carbon dioxide is the control knob of earth’s temperatures and is causing unprecedented and dangerous global warming. See link under Challenging the Orthodoxy.

“The goal here is not to win. The goal here is to destroy these people.
We want a smashing victory,” Steyer said of candidates he judges to be on the wrong side of the climate change debate.
