Then let's see the data that you claim refutes mainstream science.
Do I have to re-post about Antarctic Ice GROWING from the British Court and more recently NASA???
That Antarctic ice sheets are expanding in area or even that the Eastern Antarctic *might* be adding mass at present (and I wish to emphasize that "*might*") does NOT mean the world's seas aren't rising. The paper from Zwally is STILL the only one claiming to have observed a positive ice mass balance for Antarctica. Other papers have come out before ad since that still find the mass balance to be negative. As to the British court:
****************************************************************
The British Court Dimmock v Department of Education found "nine significant errors". Those errors were:
1.) The sea level will rise up to 20 feet because of the melting of either West Antarctica or Greenland in the near future. (This "Armageddon scenario" would only take place over thousands of years, the judge wrote.)
2.) Some low-lying Pacific islands have been so inundated with water that their citizens have all had to evacuate to New Zealand. ("There is no evidence of any such evacuation having yet happened.")
3.) Global warming will shut down the "ocean conveyor," by which the Gulf Stream moves across the North Atlantic to Western Europe. (According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, "it is very unlikely that the Ocean Conveyor will shut down in the future…")
4.) There is a direct coincidence between the rise in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the rise in temperature over the last 650,000 years. ("Although there is general scientific agreement that there is a connection, the two graphs do not establish what Mr. Gore asserts.")
5.) The disappearance of the snows on Mount Kilimanjaro is expressly attributable to global warming. ("However, it is common ground that, the scientific consensus is that it cannot be established that the recession of snows on Mount. Kilimanjaro is mainly attributable to human-induced climate change.")
6.) The drying up of Lake Chad is a prime example of a catastrophic result of global warming. ("It is generally accepted that the evidence remains insufficient to establish such an attribution" and may be more likely the effect of population increase, overgrazing and regional climate variability.)
7.) Hurricane Katrina and the consequent devastation in New Orleans is because of global warming. ("It is common ground that there is insufficient evidence to show that.")
8.) Polar bears are drowning because they have to swim long distances to find ice. ("The only scientific study that either side before me can find is one, which indicates that four polar bears have recently been found drowned because of a storm.")
9.) Coral reefs all over the world are bleaching because of global warming and other factors. ("Separating the impacts of stresses due to climate change from other stresses, such as overfishing and pollution, was difficult.")

Hmm... I must have missed it. Can you please point out where the judge ruled that the world's oceans weren't rising?
You smugly ask that knowing full well you've been shown that data, and that your side CHICKENED OUT from appealing the British Court ruling.
You've never shown me "that data" because "that" data" doesn't exist. None of this says diddly squat about sea level rise.
Your beaked BIRDBRAIN claims a sea level rise. To get a sea level rise on Earth, you need to do something about that one piece of ice that has 90% of Earth's ice on it, and that thing is GROWING... which means your BULLSHIT about sea level rise is just that...
I've already demonstrated your basic ARITHMETIC failure with this claim. Apparently, you didn't even realize that was what I was doing. Crispy, this one is.
90% of Earth ice on Antarctica growing = no sea level rise on Earth
Sorry, but that is a false statement and ignorantly so.
