The key line in this video starts at 2:32, as they casually mention that they can only tell sea level to an accuracy of 1 meter.
Combine that with this:
“The IPCC estimates that sea levels rose 17 centimeters (or about 6.7 inches) in the 20th century. Scientists project rising sea levels to continue through the 21st century, with levels increasing between 7 and 22 inches by 2100.”
So… their predictions are within the margin of error of sea level measurement.

Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
A new report shows that President Obama skips 60% of daily intelligence briefings. The other 40%…
Now Is Not the Time to Turn This Country Around
I have a new column up at PJ Media about the 2014 elections.
Now, I want to note that I don’t mean this analogy to be disrespectful to President Obama. But I think most historians will back me when I say his presidency is the equivalent of a dumb child running into tables.
Read. Enjoy. Share.
It’s Who You Know That Counts
A Labor Department study shows that 62% of stimulus projects had violated wage and hour regulations.
