Yet another much-predicted climate-change catastrophe turns out to be baseless:\u00a0Worldwide sea levels are\u00a0not\u00a0<\/em>rising\u00a0<\/a>any faster than a century ago. The New York Post<\/a> has the story.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This doesn\u2019t mean climate change isn\u2019t happening, nor that particular locales don\u2019t face a rising-seas problem \u2014 but it does<\/em> mean no apocalypse is coming unless the whole world takes drastic action to prevent it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For decades, complex climate-change models have indicated global sea levels to be rising at twice or more the historic level, but until now, no scientists had bothered checking that against actual observed reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dutch engineer Hessel Voortman and researcher Rob de Vos finally did the work; their peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering<\/a>, \u201cA Global Perspective on Local Sea Level Changes,\u201d shows the models have gotten it completely wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They reviewed actual data (on an average of a century of observations) at 150,000<\/em> coastal locations across the planet to determine that sea-level rise this century will likely be about 6 inches, the same as last century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The models, which extrapolated from observations in the Antarctic only, plus a host of assumptions<\/em> about how the oceans respond to rising global temperatures, suggested sea levels increasing by 1 foot to 3 feet by 2100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, Princeton University\u2019s Michael Oppenheimer predicted in 2019 that sea levels would rise by more than 34 inches by century\u2019s end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dutch researchers\u2019 \u201cfirst-ever global study of sea level rise\u201d refutes those claims \u2014 and raises the huge question of why no one else had bothered to test the predictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 2020, they found, the worldwide rise is only around 1.5 millimeters per year<\/em> \u2014 far less than the 3 mm to 4 mm (0.12 to 0.16 inches) a year routinely reported in scientific literature and the general news media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
