    I can go to the seashore and find high tide is no higher than it was 40 years ago in the same places.
    I drive on a tidal salt flat, that gets flooded a few times a year on the highest lunar tides, so it is just inches above the typical high tide point. I have driven on it 38 years ago, and I can drive on it today.
    The point being if sea levels were rising, then this tide flat would be flooded daily at every high tide, or underwater all the time, if sea levels have risen.

    I see

    David's observations over 40 years are valid while you disregard the Inuit people's multi - multi generational observations of seasonal sea ice levels

    no, i was comparing his 40 years of observations against the hockey stick graph's outrageos predictions of exponential temperature and sea level rise in a compressed time frame...

    I wish all the damned environmentalists would just stop having children. It would save the world by reducing the population, and then I wouldnt have to listen to their hippie offpspring in the future.

    Whether you want to argue if it's anthropogenic or not, that's your prerogative, and I'll leave that up to all the pseudo Nobel Laureate scientists that post on sports/truck/video game forums.

    But you cannot deny the fact, or raw data, that the surface temperatures of globe, on average, are on a warming trend since the mid-70s.

    Of course that is part of it

    There now seems to be 3 camps in this thread

    1) the Earth is not warming / climate is not changing , period
    2) the Earth is warming / climate is changing but it is a natural cycle
    3) the Earth is warming / climate is changing , it is both a natural cycle and a reaction to our influence on the Earth

    I subscribe to 3
