NASA has doubled 1880 to 1980 sea level rise since Hansen 1983. In 1983, NASA showed very little sea level rise after 1950. Now they show rapid sea level rise from 1950 to 1980.

This fraud should not surprise anyone, because they have also doubled global warming via data tampering during that same time period.

Be prepared for the usual beatdown by the Lefties.
 
I am always fond of Faithers promoting CO2 as the major culprit in heat retention, when methane is far more active in that category. Why not discuss that? Probably because methane is not a major gas produced by human activity? Amazing how a La Nina can cool things despite the CO2 levels. Moving the goal posts and manipulating data is not the stuff of science sorry.

I'm sorry you're triggered by me pointing out that no evidence of actual fraud was provided.

It's literally "newer estimate shows higher, therefore fraud." And you bought it. Because you're an unskeptic.

You're going to be told the data was corrected, not tampered with ... and they'll do that retroactively because that's where trends are born.

Not triggered by you at all.

Well, Steven Godard is a denier, so we can start there. Secondly, there are no credible and objective sources reporting this, and lastly, NASA has access to satellite images that have been taken for years that Goddard is obviously ignoring.

Look at the coast of Bangladesh

It's happening all over due to ice melts.

Who is Hansen and why should anyone take his views over the rest of the scientific community?
 
Here's how Colorado University's Sea Level Research Group has manipulated the data over the last decade.

And exactly why is methane more active?

Stephen Godard aka Tony Heller puts up links to his stuff,
and they pan out as true if you follow them. He claims
fraud and calls people morons but what he says is true
as far as I can tell.

Well, you shown a graph, but you haven't show how they manipulated the data.

Global warming denial is not true however, and there is no conspiracy to force green technology going on. Said technology is a product of Silicon Valley and what rich little kids do with their time ;) I'm going to watch the story, I don't think that NASA did this.

The Sea Level Research Group's web site

is down at the moment but here's the link to the archived data:

When CU's Sea Level Group comes back on line, you can do the same thing I did and graph out the difference.

They have effectively bumped up the rate of sea level rise by 0.9 mm/yr.

You can jump up and down and spit wooden nickles, but you can't change that fact.

No conspiracy Hmmm really? I apply the duck test, and what it looks like to me is exactly that.

Where and how does the data set you just linked prove that "they have effectively bumped up the rate of sea level rise by 0.9 mm/yr"?
 
And exactly why is methane more active?

The Environmental Protection Agency uses a statistic called Global Warming Potential (GWP) to assess the threat posed by various greenhouse gases. GWP measures how much heat one molecule of a gas will trap relative to a molecule of carbon dioxide. Methane has a GWP of 21, which means it's 21 times more effective at preventing infrared radiation from escaping the planet.

Is methane really worse for the environment than carbon dioxide?

What your graph shows is that estimates made a decade later came out different.

Funny thing about research. It changes over time.

Uh huh, show me.

Here's a diagram of Atmospheric Absorption bands including methane:

So tell me why is methane claimed to be 21 times more effective at
preventing infrared radiation from escaping the planet than CO2?
Looks to me like its Number 4 after Ozone and Oxygen.

By the way Scientific American claims CH4 is 72 times more powerful
than CO2 or a few years later 84 times and I know I've seen over
100 times more powerful. You guys seem to make it up as you go
along. Do you need links for all of that?

If you plot out the data 1992 - 2004 as it was published in 2004 you will get the blue line on the graph.

If you plot out the data 1992 - 2004 as it is published today, you will get the red line on the graph.

The two plots are different. The historical data has been re-written.

Yes, just like the seven commandments from George Orwell's "Animal Farm" the original data changes over time.

....no, it hasn't.

New measurements came out with new results.

Here's the mistake I know you're making: you are under the impression that sea level is something you can readily measure in a singular, objective fashion. You think there's some single, "historic data" that someone has to change.

In reality, sea level is tricky to actually measure. The ocean constantly bulges out due to the moon's gravity, causing tides. The earth and its surface are also not a perfect sphere - there's a bulge at the equator. And until very recently, we had to try and measure the water from various beaches, and how much that changes. But if you measure the change in sea level on the coast of Florida and the change in sea level on the coast of Italy, you don't even come up with the same number each year.

Ocean's wiggly, basically. Tough to measure. These days we're able to measure better with advanced satellites.

So yeah, newer methodologies might come out different. Make sense?
 
And exactly why is methane more active?

Methane is about 20x better at absorbing and retaining heat compared to CO2.

If you want to learn why that is the case, then I would suggest asking a physicist.
