You could use a few. Even tina. Even mindless friends would be a novelty for you.

Aww that's what they said about you at age 15 when they stopped your schooling.

You never forgot. Now at your old age you are repeating to Americans who don't know your history.

LOL.

I was wrong about what?
I posted the rise rate for 2010, 2011 and 2012 from the data. Are you going to tell me those rates were wrong? If so what should they be?
I posted the link to CU's graph showing the deceleration of the rate over the last 20 years. Are you telling me that's wrong? If so what's wrong with it.
You can assert that I'm wrong or that President Lincoln's dog has five legs, but in the end you have to back your assertions up, and so far you haven't done that.
Remember your linear mind gets in the way of understanding things.

I can't help but post this video because it relates to satellite studies and it involves the people you dislike so much.

Of course you have to take up for the old fossil. Not that you have many other friends here.....
Funny thing is that you do not have many friend here either. I would also be surprised if you had much of a life that dosn't consist of sitting behind a keyboard.

Try taking one day and spend it Topix free. If you can. I doubt you can since you are they type that is easily addicted to things.

You realize when you start adding numbers up that I have just as many friends if not more than you do here on Topix.

Then I also have a life off of Topix. A husband, kids, friends, and family. People who I spend time with face to face.

Of course if I need a few mindless friends there are always alarmist.

You have yet to say what mechanism is going to result in an exponential rise in sea level. I've posted what an exponential rise would look like and that Dr. Hansen's version of it requires a millimeter per day in sea level rise by the end of the century and you just seem to ignore that fact. You don't want to think about how much water 1 mm /day is and what it would take to sustain such a colossal deluge.

Oh yes, the GRACE studies. I suspect that just like the ARGO studies the numbers are tweaked to give the results they want. Why do I say that?

1. It would fit the pattern.

2. The emirical data doesn't support it.

Why not spend part of that time instead with friends? Unless you do not have any friends. Funny thing is I also spend time volunteering. Including one mentoring young people and helping them with their education. I also manage to take classes online as well.

CONCLUSIONS
Our analyses do not indicate acceleration in sea level in U.S. tide gauge records during the 20th century. Instead, for each time period we consider, the records show small decelerations that are consistent with a number of earlier studies of worldwide-gauge records.

The decelerations that we obtain are opposite in sign and one to two orders of magnitude less than the +0.07 to +0.28 mm/y2 accelerations that are required to reach sea levels predicted for 2100 by Vermeer and Rahmsdorf(2009), Jevrejeva, Moore, and Grinsted (2010), and Grinsted, Moore, and Jevrejeva (2010). Bindoff et al.(2007) note an increase in worldwide temperature from 1906 to 2005 of 0.74uC.

I see the reason for the double post this time around. When the page was full, 20 posts, my post went on the next page but it didn't display when I clicked on [Post Commment] and I didn't notice that the the "next page" link was active.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Capricorn

Don't take any risks when handling your finances today, because there are strange things going on. Someone may not be as straightforward and honest as usual, or can't explain themselves properly, which leads to misunderstandings and false assumptions. If you're spending money, make sure you're charged the right price and given the correct change. And don't let your wallet or purse out of your sight, in case you mislay it or someone nabs it.
