Trigger
Just read “Acceleration in sea level rise far larger than initially thought, study shows”. Of course, taxpayer financed NPR (public radio) also reported about this during my commute. According to NPR the acceleration doubled or tripled, but they never said by how much absolutely.
What Is The Fuss About?
To quote from above article (emphasis added): “Previous estimates had placed sea-level rise at between 1.5 and 1.8 millimeters annually over the 20th century. Hay and Morrow, however, suggest that from 1901 until 1990, the figure was closer to 1.2 millimeters per year. But everyone agrees that global sea level has risen by about 3 millimeters annually since that time, and so the new study points to a larger acceleration in global sea level.”
Are these scientists or the Nature Journal serious to publish this?
What is the margin of error here?
