Flashback: Prominent Dutch Scientist: ‘I find the Doomsday picture Al Gore is painting – a 6m sea level rise, 15 times IPCC number — entirely without merit’

2015 Claim: Wait! What?! Study: There is so much global warming that it is slowing the rise of sea levels – ‘Is there anything global warming can’t do? Now it seems that there is so much global warming that it is slowing the rise of sea levels.’

Climate Astrology: ‘Global Warming’ commands sea level rise Increases…& sea level rise slowdown: NASA discovers that ‘global warming’ is slowing and not increasing sea level rise – NASA study claim: ‘Because the Earth has become more parched, partly because humans are pumping out more ground water, the rising oceans are being absorbed by lakes, rivers, and underground acquirers, much like a sponge absorbs water. An extra 3.2 trillion tons of water has thus been soaked up and stored and is not pouring into the streets of coastal cities.’

2015 Study: Parched Earth soaks up water, slowing sea level rise

Regardless, even the IPCC concedes that there was no significant anthropogenic influence on climate prior to 1950, thus man is not be responsible for sea level rise beginning 150-200 years ago, at the end of the Little Ice Age.
The sea level rise over the past ~200 years shows no evidence of acceleration, which is necessary to assume a man-made influence. Sea level rise instead decelerated over the 20th centurydecelerated 31% since 2002 and decelerated 44% since 2004 to less than 7 inches per century. There is no evidence of an acceleration of sea level rise, and therefore no evidence of any man-made effect on sea levels. Sea level rise is primarily a local phenomenon related to land subsidence, not CO2 levels. Therefore, areas with groundwater depletion and land subsidence have much higher rates of relative sea level rise, but this has absolutely nothing to do with man-made CO2.

Backgrond on Dr. Henk Tennekes: 

Flashback 2010: ‘I have had it. Farewell’: Prominent Skeptical Scientist Dr. Henk Tennekes Resigns from Dutch Academy – ‘I don’t want to remain a member of an organization that, like AMS and NAS, screws up science that badly’

Meet NASA’s New ‘James Hansen’ – Gavin Schmidt – Gavin Schmidt’s climate change foibles: In 2009, Atmospheric scientist Dr. Hendrik Tennekes, a prominent scientist from the Netherlands, wrote a scathing denunciation of Schmidt in which he said he was “appalled” by Schmidt’s “lack of knowledge” and added, “Back to graduate school, Gavin!”

Media Shocker! Netherlands’ largest daily newspaper issues mea culpa to global warming skeptic: ‘He was right after all’Atmospheric scientist Dr. Hendrik Tennekes is featured on page 121 of the U.S. Senate’s 2009 Report on Over 700 Dissenting Scientists. Tennekes: ‘I protest vigorously the idea that the climate reacts like a home heating system to a changed setting of the thermostat: just turn the dial, and the desired temperature will soon be reached’

‘No evidence for accelerated sea-level rise’ says Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute
