When is this doubling of today's rate going to begin to happen?

I look forward to your answer.
In a few weeks it will be thirty years since Dr. James Hansen famous testimony
before the United States Congress, and it's not happening in all that time. Yes
the projections are accelerating curves. I'm just asking when it's going to begin
to accelerate. Rewriting historical data which was done to the satellite record
earlier this year doesn't actually change the physical world.
This little discussion has been about sea level and you talk about floating sea ice:
"Water tends to absord sunlight, while ice tends to reflect."
As Threegoofs points out, I've been at this for over a decade and in all that time
folks on your side of the coin never seem to get the message that floating ice
doesn't run up sea level when it melts. Oh they will acknowledge that fact,
but just like you, they'll be right back at it a short time later.
There's a well-known quote from George Orwell about restating the obvious,
and what's obvious is that sea level isn't going to suddenly begin to rise twice
as fast as it has over the last several centuries.
You know it, I know it, and Threegoofs knows it.
