Hi combjelly; Re: " It does prove that rising levels of CO2 was widely believed to be causing at least the oceans to warm and rise. Thanks for helping out."

So I provided a paper that shows that it's impossible to see a CO2 signal in sea level rise. You interpret the same paper as support for your position. But you failed to quote even a single sentence from the paper.

My position is that you don't know the slightest thing about science and you've done well in proving my point.

Re: "But you are correct. I should have qualified it a bit more. By the mid-1970s, it was generally believed that the approximate 15 cm rise in sea level since the turn of that century was due to thermal expansion of the oceans. The cause was believed because of rising CO2 levels, but they didn't have proof.";

You have no links for this either. Just your memory, LOL, but at least you've retracted your claim that it was known to be caused by CO2.

You're still wrong in attributing the rise entirely to thermal expansion. There was also a lot of glacier melting from their maximum at the bottom of the little ice age. So the IPCC position on the cause is that they were roughly equal, that is, the contributions from thermal and glacier melt.
