Rising-sea hysteria debunked — but the 'climate

This doesn’t mean climate change isn’t happening, nor that particular locales don’t face a rising-seas problem — but it does mean no apocalypse is coming unless the whole world takes drastic action to prevent it.

For decades, complex climate-change models have indicated global sea levels to be rising at twice or more the historic level, but until now no scientists had bothered checking that against actual observed reality.

Dutch engineer Hessel Voortman and researcher Rob de Vos finally did the work; their peer-reviewed study in The Journal of Marine Science and Engineering , “A Global Perspective on Local Sea Level Changes,” shows th
