Wild thought after staring at the graphs related to the GRACE project (two posts back). My eyeball says that the differences in trends are related to the satellite change out in 2018. Different instruments different results.
My free comment and perhaps worth every penny?

I have seen that bought up before in relation to satellite temperatures, the author had a graph of the official climbing temperatures with three straight lines showing how the rate of increase changed each time they started a new generation of satellites.
On the net somewhere about a year ago…

Climate models fail to predict Antarctic ice not melting, run too hot on temperatures, and now we have a study that measures their seal level predictions versus tidal gauges and finds they are way off there too. Garbage in, garbage out.

Sea Levels Not Surging Despite Years Of Climate Activists And Corporate Media Freaking Out, Study Finds
“The average rate of sea level rise in 2020 is (only) around 1.5 mm/year (15 cm per century)” Voortman said Tuesday. “This is significantly lower than the 3 to 4 mm/year often reported by climate scientists in scientific literature and the media.”

Every Alarmist Climate Modelling has been been consistent IMHO.
Consistently wrong.

I am amazed that sea level rise is now often less than earth movement. In Scandinavia much less than land level rise after the melting of ice from the last ice age a mere 11,000 years ago. But even continental drift is generally about 4mm/year. And this changes the sea floor. The biggest in volume and deepest lake in the world, Lake Baikal, is bigger than the Great Lakes combined and growing in width and so volume. The whole world is mobile once you are talking mm/year.
As for the idea that air temperature, which is what everyone talks about, is anything to do with ocean temperature, that is silly. The oceans have 1600x the heat capacity of the air and they cannot lose their heat by radiation as they have cool surfaces, never over 38C/100F (despite ‘boiling oceans’) and no conduction. Most of the water in the average 3500 metre deep oceans is kilometers from the surface.
Oceans cover 3/4 of the planet and receive 3/4 of the solar energy. But ocean cooling comes entirely from surface heating and evaporation, creating all our water and all our weather. Air expands rapidly with temperature, is incredibly mobile, reaching much higher temperatures and soaring due to Archimedes principle. Hot air can have the same massive lift as a hydrogen balloon.
However ocean currents contain 99.9% of all surface energy and currents like the Gulf Stream and oscillations like the PDO/AMO have huge Climate effects, nothing to do with the atmosphere and CO2.
So anyone proposing very slightly hot air (+2C) will somehow quickly heat the oceans quickly and cause sea level rise is dreaming. Just try making a cup of tea by pointing a hair dryer at a cup of water. It won’t work. Air is a terrible heat conductor. Hot air can be used to evaporate surface water and dry hair, not heat water. And yet there is this implied wisdom that a small change in air temperature is warming the oceans equally and causing sea level rise? As for the ice age rises from melting glaciers, that is nearly all over. Most remaining ice is permanent or cyclical. Mt Kilamanjaro, just 300km from the equator, still has snow, even if it is simply frozen water vapour. And at -50C to -25C, Antarctic ice is still growihg.
With 1600x the heat capacity, a 2C increase in air temperature in fifty years would take 80,000 years to warm the ocean by the same 2C. We have only had agriculture for 10,000 years. There is no problem with slowly, slightly rising oceans. Not noticeable in many human lifetimes.

Thank you, TdeF,
I have been protesting for 10 years that hard science does not accept that the ocean walls and base are constant shape and able to contain a constant water volume to act like the mercury in a thermometer with constant walls.

We have 16 highly accurate tide gauges around the country, one at Cape Ferguson near here. They are operated as Australian Baseline Sea Level Monitoring Project and the oldest station has been operating nearly 35 yrs, long enough to have meaningful data.
Maybe 10 yrs ago I tried to find a trend in the data but I’m not a data nerd and got lost, but there wasn’t an obvious one. Maybe it is because of the lack of a rise that there was no executive summary and the project has no publicity. But I’m a sceptic. 🙂
70
I have challenged a few folks who say that SLR is a concern to go online and look at the tidal gauge results. I believe that not a single one of them have done so, preferring their beliefs to actual data.
20
Perhaps they have some new angle, but they don’t mention Beenstock.
Beenstock looked at 1000 tide guages and found a 1mm rise pa for the last 50 years with no acceleration.
Michael Beenstock, Daniel Felsenstein,*Eyal Frank & Yaniv Reingewertz, (2014) Tide gauge location and the measurement of global sea level rise, Environmental and Ecological Statistics, May 2014
Nor do they mention Nils Axel Morner who found 1.25mm/yr when doing detailed studies of beaches in northern Europe. Even the satellites didn’t show much of a rise in the 1990s. It all had to be adjusted. See https://joannenova.com.au/2012/12/are-sea-levels-rising-nils-axel-morner-documents-a-decided-lack-of-rising-seas/

I have great appreciation for the work of Nils Axel Morner, and he finds 1.25 mm per year rise.
Let’s be generous to the UNIPCCC and call it 2 mm.
The diameter of the Earth at the equator is about 12.756 billion millimetres.
If we add the 1 mm sea level rise on each end of diameter we get a diameter that’s increased by 2 mm.
As a percentage that’s 1.5 billionths of one percent.
I would suggest that talking about such sea level movements is statistically irrational.
Let’s be real and see this “science” for what it really is; manipulative junk.
161
.Sorry about the “let’s be generous” thing. I didn’t use it in the calculation
90
Thanks, this is very simple but great observation.
Even I understood – you are talking about combined (continent + ocean) movement, don’t you?
In some spots the sum is positive, in others – negative…
40
Just using the quoted figure attributed to Prof Morner.
The main point is that whether vertical movement of land or changes in sea level we must acknowledge that both are slow, small and care is needed in assessing things.

There’s an anti-China hit piece in the SMH this morning with a lovely irony contained right here-
“It’s become fashionable to praise China because of the US’s lapses in global responsibility, but you can criticise both, and you should use equal standards to judge. China’s opaque system, the gulf of language and the constant quashing of dissent mean we are only privy to the sanitised image.”
Of course she ignores the propaganda and censorship in the West, and where she gets the idea of America’s ‘global responsibility’ from I do not know. The Chinese victory parade this week that she complains about is no different to our ANZAC day, every country has some Nationalistic Day they can coalesce around.
…and this idea is a doozy-
“Officials are seen very differently in China compared to the West. Ours are public servants. There, the public serves them.” Either she is a public servant here now with a sense of cynicism, or she hasn’t had any dealing with local Govt employees!
However, she was locked up in China for a few years over espionage charges, so she’s pretty salty.

Easy mistake to make – the cowards in the CCP were hiding while the Kuomintang fought off the Japanese, building strength to attack the weakened Nationalists after the war. The hypocrisy of Xi claiming that the Commos did the fighting is the usual historical distortion of the left to suit their latest narrative.

Coup in Iran, 1953. (I only heard about it a few months back, then Fareed Zakaria (CNN) did a documentary on it this week.)
Reason:
— Britain angry over nationalization of her oil assets.
— USA were fearful of a local Communist party’s potential.
Method:
— CIA led the way, assisted by British intelligence agents.
— it was called Operation Ajax.
— budget was $1,000,000, used to bribe a mob of protesters to get out in the streets.
Result:
Iran’s democratically elected Prime Minister was overthrown; the “Shah of Iran” got the powers of a dictator. He ruled for 26 years… followed by the Islamic revolution. I think we can see “The Law of Unintended Consequences” in operation there!
Nevermind, Churchill, Truman and Dulles weren’t around to blame themselves.
Operation Ajax was the precursor for God knows how many ‘regime change’ coups since then. I think USAID was one of the ‘bribery’ outlets: see Maidan Coup 2014.

Commonwealth Bank sacks hardworking woman after 25 years – and she trained AI how to do her job
Bank teller Kathryn Sullivan, 63, said she was entirely unaware she was helping a chatbot take over her role before she was made redundant in July, ending her long career with the bank.
She said she supported new technologies that improved customer service, however, she was blindsided by the cuts.
‘I was completely shell-shocked, alongside my colleague,’ she said. ‘We just feel like we were nothing, we were a number.’
Ms Sullivan said Commonwealth Bank – which made a $10.25billion profit in the past financial year – failed to communicate with her for more than a week after she was made redundant.
‘They ghosted me for eight business days before they answered any of my questions,’ she added.

A starfish apocalypse: The bacterium behind billions of sea star deaths.
A new study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution has confirmed that Vibrio pectenicida (strain FHCF-3) is the long-suspected culprit behind sea star wasting disease; a fast-moving marine plague capable of wiping out entire populations in a matter of days. Since 2013, the outbreak has killed an estimated five billion sea stars from the coasts of Baja California to Alaska, collapsing populations and sending shockwaves through the ecosystem.
Since the outbreak began, populations have crashed by more than 90%, with some regions seeing near-total collapse. Without these top predators, purple sea urchins have multiplied unchecked, stripping kelp forests down to bare rock.
The result is an underwater deforestation unlike anything seen before in this region. Kelp forests aren’t just scenic backdrops, they are nurseries for fish, feeding grounds for marine mammals, and the scaffolding that holds coastal ecosystems together. They also stabilize the climate by pulling carbon from the atmosphere, buffer shorelines against storms, and slow the erosion that eats away at coastlines. In Northern California alone, more than 90% of these vital forests have vanished, setting off ripples that threaten fisheries, seabird colonies, and the very balance of the nearshore ocean.

To explain the “missing” link between sea star fatalities and kelp forests disappearing…..
SSWD killed billions of the most susceptible species, sunflower sea stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides), initiating a trophic cascade involving unchecked urchin population growth and the widespread loss of kelp forests.

So Trump used America’s military might to blow up a boat full of people.
“President Trump says the blown-up boat belonged to a criminal organization tied to Maduro, and..resulted in the deaths of eleven people…an extra-judicial killing, also given there was no apparent attempt to intercept the vessel or arrest those aboard.” or to see if the drugs they claimed were on board or were not. Of course maybe it was part of his push to clean out the CIA..
Well, next time someone you know goes on about how horrible that dictator XI or Putin is, just remind them that WE also just kill people we don’t like or maybe just randomly kill people in case we don’t like them. Now he has 8 warships off Venezuela and has sent F35s down there, so it seems they are having another try for regime change to control the oil barrel of the Americas.
Stopping the supply of drugs is just an excuse, he could try dampening the demand. Is there something so wrong with his culture that everyone needs to be drugged to survive?
