Climate scientists deliberately deceiving public about ‘accelerated’ sea-level rise

For years, the world’s top scientists have known that they cannot prove there has been an acceleration of sea level rise, and yet they have told the public that they can. Now we know how they did it

For years, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has claimed that human-caused climate change has accelerated sea level rise. But that claim is false. There is no scientific evidence of accelerated sea level rise since the mid-19th Century, and thus none showing human-created emissions caused an acceleration in recent decades.… Read more

Broadcaster chooses easy route to creating climate fear—exaggerating the facts about sea-level rise
