You know, you point out a statistically insignificant, but still present feature to rising sea levels. However, the scientists here in Gloucester at the several NOAA facilities have said in past meetings here with the fishing community, that's basically not an important factor given the difference in terms of overall contribution it adds is in the vicinity of 6 centimeters in 100 years, as opposed to .3 meters in the last 20.
Does that work better for you?
It'll have to, it's all you are going to get.

So, you are claiming that global warming has caused a sea level rise along the Massachusetts coast of .3 meters in the last 20 years? That's 0.98 feet.  About a foot? (11.8 inches)

Well, why then, my friend, did you claim it has risen 2 feet in post 42?

You know those friends you told me about? If it rises much more than the 2 feet it's risen since I got here, your friends will have waterfront property and you can roll up your fucking pants legs and dig clams on Route 95 when you come to visit.

So, which is it? Two feet or 0.98 of a foot?

Or do you wish to admit that you engaged in a bit of hyperbole for dramatic effect?

And then tried to go all postal on me for pointing it out?

Really done this time.

We are talking rising sea levels but in a few inches if not less.  If the Atlantic is up anything like a foot even less...Miami would about gone.

Could you hold that target a little higher and to the right,Firm?

You done good in voc school I'm glad you learned some grade school math... No, I said and I qualified the actual time that I have observed a change in an earlier post as 15 years in my previous post. NOAA, if you'll please PAY ATTENTION provided .3 meters number in their own study. Remember how jacked off you got when you thought you could capatalize of the distinction of my observations being ANECDOTAL?
    And NOAA, not I framed their data in a 20 year sample. Not being an employee of NOAA, I can only vouch for my observations which are by your own insistence anecdotal. So the difference of a  The one thing I will say is that they  come directly from a concern for a change in the natural world around me and probably better than average time spent studying via reference materials and speaking to a cadre of people who have considerable expertise regarding the matter.
   I'd be willing to admit I get very passionate about the topic of how it is shaking out here locally as long as you can admit you engaged deliberate subterfuge with all your nonsense about anyone raising a political argument anywhere in this thread
Some 'smoking gun' ya got there albeit worthless.
Now we're done

I think global warming and cooling has been happening all along.  Not since the beginning of life on earth, but since the earth has been here.  I used to think man "may be" contrubuting to it, but I've since come to believe, since it has been happening all along, if man makes any impact on global warming or cooling its minimal, if at all. 

The world has been warming and cooling all along. The difference now is that we are adding millions of tons of carbon to the atmosphere unaturally. Rather than religion as science, it is a fact that mankind is causing the addition. It is not carbon 12, 13 or certainly 14...so where does it come from ? It comes from vaporizing fossil fuels...period.

Just wait though, maybe our grandchildren will come up with some useful hints on how to breath and grow things after mankind burns the remaining estimated 150 million tons of oil in addition to coal etc.

My vessels navigate the Massachusetts coast on a regular basis and I can tell you unequivocally that we have not been able to carry anything near to a foot more draft into any channel/port at high or low water, anywhere we have run to in MA in the last 20 years. Any increase in allowable draft we've seen was due to dredging and there has not been a lot of that.

As for NOAA data, does it not also consider gauges taken during stormy conditions where the many bays/inlets in MA would see an increase in water depth/loss of shoreside freeboard, due to strong NE, SE or easterly surges from coastal lows, which can at times raise coastal water levels a foot or more?
