No acceleration in Sea level rises

I agree. However that's still the case in areas of science like quantum physics and yet we were able to do things with the results even decades ago, despite not knowing everything.

In science if you wait until you know everything before acting, you never will... you can only go on what you know right now and modify your thinking as new knowledge is gained.

But I never said the science was settled, someone else said that. In my view, anyone who claims that something as massively complex as the earths climate is fully understood is either an idiot or a fraudster.
As you say, quantum physics could do things, even when not fully understood, what has that got to do with the cagw debate ? The big mistake they made with Kilimajaro was making a prediction too close in time, so it could be verified in our lifetime.
They have taken an existing trend, warming, added an idea, agw, created models to perpetuate that trend, hyped it up into cagw and now want to take control of the levers of the worlds economy.
It is not science to create an unfalsifiable hypothesis, claim it is settled and then base the worlds economy on the oucome.
It's something, but its not science

I hold no special brief for Al Gore, and his behaviour has no bearing on the ability of CO2 to warm the planet, but I do know he has substantial holdings in, and is on the board of both Apple and Google. I would speculate that these made him substantially more than his tiny stakes in 'green' investments. I do know on his Tennessee house

Gore "has completed a host of improvements to make the home more energy efficient, and a building-industry group has praised the house as one of the nation's most environmentally friendly [...] 'Short of tearing it down and starting anew, I don't know how it could have been rated any higher,' said Kim Shinn of the non-profit U.S. Green Building Council, which gave the house its second-highest rating for sustainable design.

I also know that 100% of the profits from his climate books, his Oscar winning movie, and his Nobel prize money were donated to an educational charity he founded.

Presumably the Nobel prize committee are either a bunch of rubes, or part of the conspiracy .... ?

look
Newton is remembered for an apple falling on his head
Darwin is remembered for his big beard
Einstein is remembered for e = mc2

your lot will be remembered for a bloated, thick as pigsh1 t, failed american politician claiming that the science was settled. learn to live with it pj

You seem unusually serious EO. Make with the funny.

Bombshell conclusion – new peer reviewed analysis: “worldwide-temperature increase has not produced acceleration of global sea level over the past 100 years” | Watts Up With That?

George Carlin (RIP) always nailed it on the head for me!

yeah, sorry about that.
i should have learned the lesson, its not a good idea to get serious about something you are not an expert in

Watt about this?

They add their voices to several other studies that have concluded sea levels will rise faster than projected by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its landmark 2007 assessment.
