Seaports With Sea Level Change - 32

Writing Stuff

I. True and False Papers

A couple of papers were published since the last post of this series was posted (Global warming in the pipeline, Rapid disintegration and weakening of ice shelves in North Greenland).

The first paper ("Global warming...") is an accurate and honest appraisal of the namby-pamby alleged scientific work related to global warming induced climate change.

The latter paper ("Rapid disintegration...") indicates among other things, falsely, that "thermal expansion" is the number one cause of sea level rise (using their footnotes 1,2, and 3 to support their erroneous assertion):

One of the three footnote ('fn.') papers they cite indicates that "substantial uncertainty remains" (fn. 1), another indicates "The rate of global-mean sea-level rise since 1900 has varied over time, but the contributing factors are still poorly understood ... Ice-mass loss—predominantly from glaciers—has caused twice as much sea-level rise since 1900 as has thermal expansion" (fn. 2), and the third paper they quote indicates "Ocean thermal expansion (38%) and mass loss from glaciers (41%) dominate the total change from 1901 to 2018. The contribution of Greenland and Antarctica to GMSL rise was four times larger during 2010–2019 than during 1992–1999 (high confidence). Because of the increased ice-sheet mass loss, the total loss of land ice (glaciers and ice sheets) was the largest contributor to global mean sea level rise over the period 2006–2018 (high confidence)" (fn.3, emphasis added).

Their thermal expansion myth has been debunked by their own references as well as here on Dredd Blog for several years (On Thermal Expansion & Thermal Contraction, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48).

II. Sea Level Change Data

Here is another HTML table as the menu for checking up on what is happening to seaports around the globe:

(HTML) Single Coastline Countries	(HTML) Multi Coastline Countries	RLR-Coastline Graphs	Slc-Coastline Graphs
Appendix: A-C	Appendix: A-C	Appendix: A-C	Appendix: A-C
Appendix: D-G	Appendix: D-G	Appendix: D-G	Appendix: D-G
Appendix: H-L	Appendix: H-L	Appendix: H-L	Appendix: H-L
Appendix: M-O	Appendix: M-O	Appendix: M-O	Appendix: M-O
Appendix: P-T	Appendix: P-T	Appendix: P-T	Appendix: P-T
Appendix: U-Z	Appendix: U-Z	Appendix: U-Z	Appendix: U-Z

The appendices in the first two columns of the menu are alphabetical, based on the country name where the ports are located, and are HTML files with data about seaports and tide gauges related to those ports.

The appendices in the last two columns of the menu are alphabetical, based on the country name where the tide gauge stations are located, and are line-graphs of sea level changes in that area.
