Right on.
Of course the reality deniars will simply say, "Oh you people are crazy - the water levels are rising - why look right here. And then they point to the very sources of information Morner has completely discredited.
They don't appear to understand that simply saying it is so, doesn't actually make it so.
The real data says otherwise.
No, that is not what the real data says. One old loopy fellow claims that every other scientist in his field in wrong, and you believe him.
First you claim no scientist say it, now you claim the scientist in question, who happens to be an EXPERT on the subject matter is somehow mentally deficient. Which is it? Is he a scientist or not?
The FACTS are if the seas were rising we would KNOW it cause our shore lines, our sea ports and our water fronts would be effected, BUT amazingly they are NOT. I live about 8 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, no reports of rising sea level AT ALL. Someone else pointed out to your DUMB ASS that in Seattle even a small rise would wipe out the water front and THAT has not happened. In the Netherlands a rising sea would cause the dikes they built to reclaim land to be swamped, again no such event. NO REPORTS from anywhere of rising sea levels except in the phony reports by discredited scientists.
As ussual, you are speaking from ignorance.

We have assembled a database of late Holocene (last ~4000 a BP) basal sea level index points (SLI) based on saltmarsh deposits from the Atlantic Coast of the United States of America. We have standardized these SLI both by relating their elevation to a geodetic datum (NAVD88) and by developing reference water levels (RWL) that relate the sea level indicators to the tidal frame.
This validation results in 21 sites with three or more basal SLI from Maine to South Carolina. Using this dataset, we can subdivide the US Atlantic Coast into three zones of differing modern day subsidence. The first zone from Maine to Boston shows rates of subsidence less than 0.3 mm yr-1. The second zone from Barnstable to the Outer Banks shows rates of 0.3 – 0.6 mm yr-1 and the third zone from Southport to Beaufort shows a return to rates less than 0.3 mm yr-1.
Evidence obtained by decontaminating the tide gauge record of the Atlantic Coast of the United States of America with this geological dataset, documents the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century. Utilizing the nine reliable, long term (> 50 years) tide gauges where we have associated geological data, we highlight a 20th century rate of sea level rise of c. 2 mm yr-1. This is higher than most previous global estimates derived from geophysical models, tide gauge analysis and global positioning systems although is in agreement with a number of studies concentrating solely on the US East Coast. Our results suggest that 20th century sea level rise on the US Atlantic Coast was greater than the global average of 1.8 mm yr-1.
