On Campbell Live tonight there was a story about the Marshall Islands sinking owing to man-made climate change. No scientific evidence was shown. The Marshall Islands, it mentioned was built on reclaimed land. Could it have been sinking due to subsidence? This is what IPCC reviewer Dr Vincent Gray has had to say about supposedly rising seas: Everybody knows that the Pacific Island of Tuvalu is sinking. Al Gore told us that the inhabitants are invading New Zealand because of it. Around 1990 it became obvious that the local tide-gauge did not agree – there was no evidence of “sinking”. So scientists at Flinders University, Adelaide, were asked to check whether this was true. They set up new, modern, tide-gauges in twelve Pacific islands, including Tuvalu, confident that they would show that all of them are sinking. Recently, the whole project was abandoned as there was no sign of a change in sea level at any of the twelve islands for the past 16 years. In 2006 Tuvalu even rose. But all was not lost. There was a Pacific hurricane in 1998 which depressed the sea level for all of the islands, so you can draw a straight line through the lot which gives a spurious rise; provided you do not start from 1999 after which the sea was level. uncensored.co.nz/2007/10/21/ipcc-wins-the-nobel-prize-of-peace/
