>Sea level rise now is due to the end of the little ice age, not CO2 emitted last week or a decade or 5 ago.

"Little Ice Age" is a misnomer created by the denialists. So you've got data to back that up? Can you simulate the expected temperature changes had there been 0 emmision of CO2 over the past 100 years? I think not. Back it up or STFU.

>Unfortunately for your theory, evaporation, transportation, crystalisation, precipitation and solidification in Antarctica are removing and storing umpty megatons of water in Antarctica which is lowering sea levels as fast as the end of the little ice age is raising them. So, paradoxically in your theory, as the air warms, sea levels fall....

Again back this up or STFU. Oh, you forgot about the 1000 lb Gorilla, Greenland... and you also forgot that the Northern Hemisphere is warming FASTER than the southern. And you also forgot that, despite this, the ice extents of the shelves off of the northern extents of Antarctic are shrinking rapidly and that eventually the mainland ice packs will start shrinking.
