“There is no good, sufficient or convincing evidence that global sea level rise is accelerating –there is only hypothesis and speculation. New Study Confirms No CrisisWhile activists speak of “global sea-level rise,” the ocean’s surface does not behave like water in a bathtub. Published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, the study systematically dismantles the narrative of accelerating sea-level rise. Because we now know that local, non-climatic phenomena are a plausible cause of the accelerated sea level rise measured locally. The Netherlands is an excellent example of how engineering solutions can protect coastal populations even living below sea level.
