And as for the sea level rise, there has been one world wide - the first real satellite data collected from 1993 to 2010 shows a world wide gain of 3 millimeters.
    sea levels are rising at 3 mil per year and gaining . You are in denial to think not in Negril

    Sea levels don't rise evenly everywhere. This is a fact that you can independently verify. I don't claim to know anything about sea levels in Negril, but you should probably do some research.

    Exactly! The global satellite data map in the link I posted independently demonstrates the worldwide sea level rise and lowering. This was the very first factual global satellite information available from space. Tectonic plate activity can easily explain that, as other of nature's powers. To blindly believe sound bites on the news is not research...

    I almost asked the same thing. Because a "mil" is actually 1/1000 of an inch, but I think he was going for mm, which would still not be correct because sea levels are not rising 3mm/year. If they were, we'd be in real trouble.

    3mm per year from 1993 to 2010 is what the satellite data provided. The range was from losing 10mm per year in some places to gaining 10mm in others. The global average turned out to be 3mm of sea level rise.

    Huh, I thought the average rise was a lot less than that annually. The more you know...
