>> Former FEMA Director Who Oversaw Katrina Does Not Accept Sea Level Rise

You, of course, remember Al Gore's absurd prediction of a 20' increase in sea level

Here's what IPCC has projected about sea level rise in its first four assessments:

The first assessment report (1990) showed a rising sea level range of 10-367 cm by the year 2100.

The second report (1996) narrowed the range to 3-124 cm by 2100.

 The third report (2001) showed the range to be 11-77 cm by 2100.

 The fourth report (2007) originally showed 14-43 cm in draft…then changed it to 18-59 cm in final printed version.

Put on a comparable scale, mean sea level rise for the 4th report when from 37cm to 60cm in the 5th report (they changed the time scales making direct comparison impossible from available data).

The bottom line is they're all over the place and there is no evidence ANY OF IT is happening. And in fact, the guy who probably knows more about than any other said this:

"f there is one scientist who knows more about sea levels than anyone else in the world it is the Swedish geologist and physicist Nils-Axel Mörner, formerly chairman of the INQUA International Commission on Sea Level Change. And the uncompromising verdict of Dr Mörner, who for 35 years has been using every known scientific method to study sea levels all over the globe, is that all this talk about the sea rising is nothing but a colossal scare story.
Despite fluctuations down as well as up, "the sea is not rising," he says. "It hasn't risen in 50 years." If there is any rise this century it will "not be more than 10cm (four inches), with an uncertainty of plus or minus 10cm". And quite apart from examining the hard evidence, he says, the elementary laws of physics (latent heat needed to melt ice) tell us that the apocalypse conjured up by Al Gore and Co could not possibly come about."

Brownie is right to doubt this nonsense.
