Wharfie, just asserting "denial" is silly. You provided numbers. I used the numbers. When you use numbers, you have to think what the numbers mean, not get too excited about the adjectives preceding the numbers.
For example. "Omigod, sea level is rising because of terrible global warming and we are all going to starve to death and then drown as the tide rises at 1mm per year".
Yes, it does have a number in it. But numbers have meaning more precise than the rants surrounding them [especially when the rants are by eco-liars].
1 mm per year is 10 mm per decade, which is 1 centimetre. Maybe you only understand inches, feet, fathoms and furlongs. In 100 years, that would be 10 centimetres which is 4 inches. That's about the width of a human hand. If you stand by the sea shore one day, you will see a much bigger variation than 4 inches, let alone over a century.
You are right, numbers are good. So, why do you run away from them when I use the numbers you picked to discuss what it means?
Stick with numbers Wharfie. Don't go with denial. Merely denying the numbers doesn't make you right.
Over 50 years, I haven't noticed any sea level increase around NZ and I have spent a LOT of time at sea level.
