Tuvalu – Still Drowning After All These Years
Posted: October 14, 2013 Filed under: Alarmism Debunked, Climate Alarmism, Climate History, Empirical Evidence, Pacific Island Nations, Sea Level Rise 2 CommentsClimatism comment : South Pacific Islands are not sinking, they are in fact growing. Claims they are sinking due to global warming driven sea level rise are opportunistic.
However, alarmists never cared for empirical data, especially when it debunks their spurious climate lies.

Only one minor problem. Sea level isn’t rising at Tuvalu.

It does appear that this station has seen little rise of sea level. I investigated more, though, at the site you cite, the PSMSL (Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level), and found a nice page that allows you to view the sea level trends with control of areas and even timeframes.

The world map shows a picture of varying sea rise across the board, except in Scandinavia. Upon a quick internet search I found out that indeed sea level has been dropping in many parts of Northwestern Europe, but this has been attributed to land rise.

It is very fun to explore the data on PSMSL and the linked article is also an interesting read.

I just find it dishonest that countries like ‘Kiribati’ call for billions of dollars of other peoples money, claiming that they are being swamped by “Sea Level Rise” and if they looked there simply is none, as most atolls grow with sea level rise.
This is a great example of the breathtaking dishonesty in so many parts of climate “science” debate.
