A blatent example is his use of the 2.5 year blip in NASA's record of rising seas. These are common occurences due to seasonal variations over more than a century of recording. Indeed they actually tell us how accurate our records have become. We can record when particularly snowy years over land actually reduce sea level increases FOR SHORT periods. Note also that our sea level rises have been and will be increasingly exponential. Thus I suggest it is best to trust authorities such as NASA and NOAA than dubious math of spruikers. Furthermore, some coastal areas have to add subsiding lands to their calculations which Brickell fails to address. The following link provides a very clear explanation. I suggest our young readers take a few moments to read it.

Sheryl from Waihi

I'm wondering if there are arty people in the Waihi/Paeroa/Katikati area who are painting abstract works or making other contemporary art, and would like to meet occasionally to talk about and view each other's work? I'm in Waihi and I'm including a photo of the sort of thing … View moreI'm wondering if there are arty people in the Waihi/Paeroa/Katikati area who are painting abstract works or making other contemporary art, and would like to meet occasionally to talk about and view each other's work?

How much will our seas rise.

Derrick from Thames

There is an exponential element to our rising sea levels, thus it is wise to understand what the word means. Here is a story that paints a very clear picture of how such increases can be extremely surprising.
