Noco the above does not explain why the ocean level is rising 10mm per year everywhere.
Tsk tsk. Is that all you have? You have to lie to think you're taking a shot at me?
One day Im going to find you and ask you to justify this sort of crap to my face. I'm punting you wont have the cajones.
No evidence then ?

What absolutely gets up my nose about this "furious" non debate on CC is the steadfast refusal by most climate change deniers to acknowledge the validity of moving to a clean, renewable energy based society. In my view it paints them as just sock puppets for the coal and oil lobby whose sole intention is to derail attempts to recast our energy future.
This has been brought up a number of times and in my eyes could be a point of agreement amongst people who might disagree with how significant CC is and the effects it can have. If we agreed that, as useful as fossil fuels have been in the past, we now have the technology to re power our world cleanly and long term, we could move in a decisive, constructive manner and bypass this fruitless bickering
That was actually the argument put by the recent CEO of the NAB Cameron Clyne. I posted his story previously. So far no comments

I have noted for awhile Bas that what cannot be refuted is ignored wherby no further discussion takes place and thereby has low exposure.
Put one up the other day on the deterioration of northern australian coastal vegitation. Ignored.
It is very clear who is behind the denier camp.
and when the atolls sinks, it displaced the water. Hence the rising sea level
Next it'll be all due to too many boatpeople and illegals floating around displacing water.
1/ @ bas and plod, Where are the cites for 10mm per year
2/ @ Horace, what do you want me to supply evidence of?
Five tiny Pacific islands have disappeared amid rising seas and erosion, Australian researchers say.
The missing islands, part of the Solomon Archipelago, were not inhabited by human beings.
But six other islands were found to have seen swathes of land turn into sea, destroying entire villages.
The researchers say it is the first scientific confirmation of the impact of climate change on Pacific coastlines.
The study, published in Environmental Research Letters, looked at 33 islands using aerial and satellite imagery from 1947 to 2014, combined with historical insight and local knowledge.
It found that the archipelago had seen sea levels rise as much as as 10mm (0.4in) every year for the past two decades.
Noco the above does not explain why the ocean level is rising 10mm per year everywhere.

I did notice more information further down as high lighted but that report does not elaborate on what they mean by "DOES NOT RESULT FROM SEA LEVELS ALONE"
.
However, the report stresses that the inundation does not result from rising sea levels alone.
It found that shoreline recession was substantially worse in areas exposed to high wave energy, and that extreme events and inappropriate development were also factors contributing to the erosion.
Like many reports and findings, conflict does occurs.....I guess anyone can choose according to their political beliefs or a particular persuasions to satisfy their needs.
Are you saying that the islands that are going under are actually sinking, rather that the sea levels rising ?
I haven't examined the particular islands mentioned, however it is noteworthy that some islands are gaining land mass while others losing it.
Do you think this may be indicative of something?
Australia's regions already have an energy crisis – and a climate of investment is the answer
Community energy groups are coming up with renewable energy schemes. Shouldn’t government extend a hand to help them?
The 2015 Uralla Lantern Parade. Uralla is one of numerous communities addressing renewable energy directly.

Yackandandah, like most Australian towns, has had its ups and its downs. One of its biggest ups was the north-east Victorian gold rush. By the 1890s our town was full of miners toiling to extract what was left of its alluvial gold. The only thing holding these folks back was an energy crisis. The miners were unable to source the power needed to sluice and dredge or crush the ore. The solution was a water race from high up on the West Kiewa river, which wasn’t the brainchild of government, or even the mines department – but rather a local man.
John Wallace, a Yackandandah resident, recognised a problem that needed immediate action and set about solving it.
Many people living outside of Australia’s cities are now observing a new energy crisis and, once again, it is from within these small communities that solutions are emerging. While policy makers dither and draft lifeless strategies, those outside of the political bubble have no time to waste as they already face the realities of climate change on a daily basis. With every hotter month, with every failing crop and with an ever increasing bushfire threat, those who live in rural and regional Australia are desperately looking within for climate change solutions – and acting.
Capturing the spirit of Wallace, our small community group Totally Renewable Yackandandah (TRY) is pushed by necessity to get on with putting new energy solutions in place.
We started by being ambitious: setting a Yackandandah renewable energy target of 100% renewable electricity by the year 2022. It won’t be easy but real change rarely is – as Wallace would vouch.
