[W:87] Sea Level Rise, New Data

Tim the plumber said:
The expansion number comes from a study done by some mechanical engineers which were contracted by the IPCC to doit as mechanical engineering has lots of experience of such things, liquids being heated from above, and paid them some millions of dollars to do it.

As part of being an engineer, if you are given such a contract for that amount of money you don't give them back the result that afternoon. So they wrote a 5,000 page report on it. Burried on page 3723 or so was a graph showing that if you add 1c to the temperature of the world's air today then in 100 years the ocean would expand by 14cm.

Engineers communicate in drawings. Or tables and occaisionally equations. Either side of such there is a paragraph explaining the table or graph or equation. When they have a 5,000 page reporty you know they have to pad out the result that the clien does not want.

This was the reason the the previous 1-2m sea level rise poported by the IPCC became 59cm in the 4th report.

That they may. But, as we see, plumbers can't spell occasionally.

Thanks for the reply. So after some more wading through the IPCC reports
I really don't know what they project for thermal expansion. It depends on
what report, chapter, table, figure or paragraph you look at.

Yeah. The IPCC reports are mostly unreadable.

They are the ones propagating the BS like Al Gore, and President Obama so they can buy more prime real estate for cheap.

Prime waterfront property is not cheap. And those who claim to be believers, like Michael Moore and Obama, are purchasers.

Still think people are trying to stop asthma sufferers from taking medication? Lol


That was a good one

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, all that science stuff generally is. For those who are utterly interlectually lazy science is not something you are going to be able to do.

You plumbers are so smart. We should let plumbers run NASA
