Sea level rise - fact & fiction: John Englander at TEDxBocaRaton

Sea level is rising for the first time in thousands of years. Oceanographer John Englander, author of "High Tide On Main Street" explains why it is unstoppable, regardless of efforts to be 'green' and sustainable. Using powerful images, he encourages us to embrace the new reality that the shoreline is moving, that we begin to adapt, while we also try to slow the warming. It is a positive message, "a glass half full, rather than half empty" -- though the glass will get higher each decade.

    Agreed, the Maldives and other micro nations in the Pacific were predicting catastrophe years ago. I think ‘WE’ as a collective can only go with the flow, roll with the punches. This thing we live on is much more “dynamic” than we give credit for. The Earth has gone through more at Geo-historic times (admittedly with out Human life) than we as inhabitants could imagine or endure. The cyclic behaviour of the planet’s climate has been and always will be extreme judging by the graphs etc I have seen. IMO the ‘war’ that is “climate science” I see going on at present is destructive in its self as the two factions duke it out with what I see from the ‘left’ with propaganda with data that is debunked by what I see as impartial fact by the so called ‘skeptics’. At times I’m not sure who to believe! I think “things” will happen irrespective of what is done.

    Englander starts by declaring that coastlines have not changed in 6000 years, but sea levels have been rising at the same rate they are rising now for approximately 8000 years. A look at the data provided by various oceanic agencies will confirm this. So there ended the talk., the rest was hot air - a lot of it, ironically, carbon dioxide. Isn't it odd how sea level rises but appears to stay at the same level relative to any land that isn't known to be sinking? It must be very difficult to measure absolute sea level and I believe a fresh look at how it is done, and the data produced, is necessary, because something isn't right.

    2014 - In The Pacific they offered millions of dollars to relocate islanders saying their islands would be underwater within months - The money made the waters rise even faster. Then, when Global Warming didn't happen, the dams weren't empty, the money offered was somehow cancelled and the water levels fell back to where they were. The island of Tuvalu (an atol) didn't disappear and today has MORE landcover - why ? Because all these islands are volcanic - they are subject to upheaval and even sometimes subsidence - it's now Climate Change and as one who visits the islands regularly, I can see without even a blink that sea levels are NOT rising - the corals are sometimes found stranded and that folks is falling sea levels - islands do get pushed upwards. Are you sick of the subject yet? It's going to continue because CLIMATE CHANGE IS AN INDUSTRY. Money to talk to the contaminated minds of the indoctrinated millions - seminars books movies. In time our planet will educate the masses by NOT responding to their fake beliefs.

Depends on where the islands are, near tectonic faults or converging, diverging or subduction zones or over hotspots or at the seaward margins of big river deltas. The situation is very complex.

The warming ocean surface waters are just now starting to absorb less CO2, so the coal global warming is starting to add some natural ocean CO2 global warming. +ve feedbacks are fun.

These dubious theories are contrived to protect the MOTHER of ALL DUBIOUS THEORIES: ANTHROPOMORPHIC CO2, IS CAUSING CLIMATE CHANGE| Global Warming is now used less frequently, as temperature increases stalled roughly 20 years ago. The latest NOAH report shows US temperatures DECLINING by nearly 3°F, over the past 5 yrs, alone. Australia has always been considered a tectonically stable land mass, with almost little, ir no vulcanism, dating back BILLIONS of years. Geologically it is best known for sedimentary, & erosional features. Compared to near by Indonesia, it's not suffering from tectonic uplifting, friction, subduction, & the resulting seismic activity, or vulcanism. Yours, is yet another dubious theory that never existed on it's own. It was not developed independently, on it's own merits. It came on the scientific scene, only recently, to explain away HARD DATA that invalidates, or is otherwise problematic for Anthropomorphic Climate Change. There are DOZENS of these specious insta-theories, created on the fly, with little or no academic acceptance, data, or the required evidence to support such claims. The Medieval & Warming periods, well documented periods of warmer temperatures, {confirmed by ice core samples}, extending for centuries at a time, with NO CORRESPONDING elevated man-made atmospheric C02. In these sections, climate change devote's will offer these ridiculous insta-theories, quite often during exchanges in here. It's clear almost instantly, when these replies are read; that these newly imagineered ideas, DO NOT come from the academic literature, or any scientific avenue, or realm. I've had one of these deceitful debaters try to claim the Medevil Warming Period should be dismissed, & all the problems it poses for AGW theory, is meaningless, because that lengthy period of significantly warmer CLIMATIC CONDITIONS, was only a regional phenomenon. I won't go into detail about why this is laughable on it's face, not the least of which is the Gulf Stream out of the Gulf of Mexico, & the Atlantic conveyor, that dictate weather, & the climate of Europe, & the North Atlantic, or written accounts from China during this period, that describe the effects of the warmer temperatures, for the same centuries affecting Europe. No scientific papers have ever claimed the Medieval, or Roman Warming Periods were regional events, & global tree ring records directly contradict this contrived response. BEWARE THE BS INSTA-THEORY, THESE ZEALOTS WILL TROT OUT, or SIMPLY MAKE UP on the FLY, to PROTECT, DEFEND, & DEFLECT ANY SCRUTINY, OR SKEPTICISM of the MOTHER OF ALL, SPECULATIVE SCIENTIFIC THEORIES !! Note: What follows are details about the specious "Regional Warming" fantasy, & their feeble attempt to obscure Earth's warmer climate, that allowed Viking settlements, & villages on GREENLAND, to thrive, expand, & export grain CROPS surpluses grown there. Products from their herds of imported, European grazing animals, entered the extensive Nordic trade network. These marine-based trade routes reached their zenith, during the same period that saw bountiful harvests, surpluses, & agricultural abundance throughout continental Europe, over the centuries of the Medevil Warming Period. I have yet to hear the fairy tale theory to explain the 1/2°F decrease in Global temperatures, over the 3 decades of the CO2 intensive "Post War Economic Boom" from 1945-1975 when man produced more atmospheric CO2, than in the previous 100,000 years of modern man's existence as a novel destinct species ... COMBINED!!! I have heard this BS about a 30-40 delayed action theory, but these excuses for AGW theory are as mythical as the Bible stories, these same fraudsters would ridicule out of spite, & religious bigotry.

Photos of backwash of Florida sewers is not evidence as there could be many reasons for this. The fact is that the evidence shows that sea is rising no faster today than it was 100 years ago and we should be seeing some acceleration by now and we're not.

With the satellite measurements beginning in 1992 the sea level rise went up within one year to 3.3 mm/ year AND accelerating! The gap between real measurements and the IPCC speculations is increasing every year ina an absurd way until the house of cards will fall down. This IPCC and NOAA data manipulation will possibly be proven as a gigantic scientific fraud, which helped to scare our kids and drive some of them to suicide with IMMENSE social cost and suffering.

    Actually an ice free arctic and antarctic are the common state for the poles. Ice being at the poles IS A SYMPTOM OF AN ICE AGE. We've been in one for the entirety of recorded human history. The reason we have sea life fossils in the mid west and such is because for immense periods of the earths history it was under water. There's also the issue that sea levels ARE NOT rising world wide. It's stable in a great many places. New York, Florida and the like have rising sea levels while Ireland, much of Europe at the same latitude are straight up stable or receding in some cases. There is a known geological pattern where the northern western part of the north American continental shelf (basically Canada and the Rockies themselves which are still being shaped by this phenomenon) is straight up getting higher and the south eastern part of the continent are straight up dropping as the continent is encountering another tectonic plate. The issue is a little more complex than just "More water is being added to the system" and its pretty disingenuous of "scientific authorities" (a frankly dangerously laughable term as the scientific method straight up demands arguments from authority be ignored) to make these claims so simple. It benefits no one to ignore half the truth.

    Just to add there are also other reasons for levels to increase and decrease. In New Zealand the tectonic plates are causing some parts of the Islands to sink and the others to rise. A lot of cities/towns flood as a result of a lack of drainage as we over build with limited drainage capability. Places like Venice are sinking because of the land built on is actually being compressed by the weight of the buildings. Then there is natural erosion of cliffs and the power of the ocean. Then there are Pacific island communities built on low lying atolls and then any excavation to build houses and roads can lower the already low lying island to be more vulnerable to any sea rise. I think what I find annoying about some of these videos is they deal in absolutes when there are so many variables which also extends to the technology to take measurements accurately.

    20,000 years ago the sea level was 140m lower than present. 20,000 years is 200 centuries. That gives an average sea level rise of 70cm or 2 feet per century. But the sea level has been pretty stable over the last 20 centuries based on sites of historic ports. That means there have been other centuries where sea level rise has been multiple meters to make up for times of stability. So we should not be surprised to see multiple meters of sea level rise this century.

Still hasn't happened which suggests the climate models are all wrong.

And if there were really some form of heat source that is able to force the ice to melt, how much water vapor would there be in the atmosphere? Through the evaporation process, wouldn't the volume of water in the oceans be further decreased? Do your math please!

    I also thought as you do, but think about it this way... Glaciers and other ice which exists on top of a land mass, when melted, will add to the volume of water in the sea. Also, ice is less dense than water, hence it floats. Icebergs are partly above the water, even if they are mostly below. Therefore, if an iceberg were to melt, although it takes up less "space", it also becomes totally part of the water. For an experiment, put some water in a glass, with a couple of ice cubes. Mark a line where the water level is and leave for an hour so that the ice melts. Then see if there is a change in water level. I'm not arguing that sea level rise and/or global warming is taking place, just trying to ensure that we have solid arguments to discuss with the alarmists.

That's significantly higher than what we used to have and it will have significant impacts over long time periods or in combination with more extreme storms, but 3mm/year is still like the width of your thumb every decade. You aren't going to notice it with your bare eyes.

    I just did the math. Look at the area of Greenland compare it to the area of the ocean. If the sea level was to rise 24' the ice on Greenland would need to be 1,100 miles thick!!!!

    Since most of Greenland is below sea level, if the ice melted there would be a large basin for much of the melted water.

    He said the flooding Florida gets every 28 days happens all over the world. It does not. Florida takes it fresh water from artesian aquifers which causes the deeper strata to depressurise and the overburden compresses the carbonate rock.. coupled with the land dropping from the ice over NA melting due to the ice age is causing the land to sink. Florida is a special case without CO2 coming into it.

    There is a correlation between CO2 and Temperature and Sea rise. The oceans absorb CO2 when it is cold and release CO2 when it warms. As you can see from the graphs over thousands of years before man had it's impact in the last 50 years this ahas been happening. The hypothesis gets, I believe, a bit skewed when they focus on CO2 as the main driver in climate change, in the last 50 years and the human part that is added in that equation. This is a hard one to quantify natural vs man made CO2. Recently adding to CO2 from Volcanoes and many fires in cities like Los Angles. I totally think sea rise is a problem it always has been as you can see over thousand of years either expanding or contacting from land. Building in areas that are flat and close to the ocean is a risky business especially if there is only 1 meter or so buffer zone. I agree climate varies, ocean levels vary. The question for me is the CO2 relation in the equation as a greenhouse gas, the main cause . The major greenhouse gas is water vapour, then methane, CO2, NO2, SO2. Then you have to look at all the variables that cause can cause change in temperatures. The Sun is the biggest one, followed by the clouds, Earths orbit, it's tilt, Magnetic field etc all playing a part. This has been happening for thousands of years and we still don't understand the correlations. What I do know is pollution is killing this planet from plastic to toxic waste in our oceans to the polluted toxic rivers. I know human population is rapidly expanding and we are effecting other ecosystems causing them to become extinct from destroying their habitat to over hunting/fishing/killing them. Burning petrol and fossil fuels releases toxic harmful gases CO2 is not one of them but the toxic ones include NO2 Nitrogen dioxide Carbon Monoxide , Sulphur dioxide, benzene, and particulate matter, and low level ozone that traps gas in causing a min greenhouse effect ( smog). We need to clean up our act on that basis and think about what we can do to be more sustainable. Carbon dioxide is the least of the problem that face our oceans or us as is fart gas methane.

    Hypercube Jones there's a correlation between mans who wear glasses and the lost of hair too so...deduction? CO2 is the gaz of life , the food of plants NOT a pollutant at all. I'm 100% agreed with him there's a bunch of problem more important to solve than CO2

    @Hypercube Jones. Really ? If you measure ocean acidity what you find is the ocean has a pH of higher than 7, that means it is basic (i.e. alkaline). Therefore if the pH is dropping the ocean is neutralizing. So the bleaching cannot be due to acidity dissolving the calcium carbonate, because the ocean is not yet acidic. The bleaching is due to the coral polyps ejecting the symbiotic algae with rising temperature, according to modern research. It should be noted that bleaching was noticed way back in the 1960s, when CO2 levels and ocean temperatures were much lower. Then they thought it was due to the Crown of Thorns Starfish or the dynamiting of the reefs for fishing. What really damages the reef is powerful typhoons which reduce it to rubble. Also coral reefs exist in warmer seas where the polyps link up with a different species of algae. Furthermore if the ocean gets warmer then CO2 will tend to be given off - that's a matter of scientific fact, not opinion.

    It seems that we have different information regarding the sea level rise:Sea level is rising globally 1.1 mm per year since decades inspite of increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, as measured by thousands of precise and proven tide gauges. With the satellite measurements beginning in 1992 the sea level rise went up within one year to 3.3 mm/ year AND accelerating! The gap between real measurements and the IPCC speculations is increasing every year ina an absurd way until the house of cards will fall down. This IPCC and NOAA data manipulation will possibly be proven as a gigantic scientific fraud, which helped to scare our kids and drive some of them to suicide with IMMENSE social cost and suffering. All completely unncesseray. By the way in the Indian Ocean the sea level rise is not even 1.1 mm/ year and stays completely flat inspite of constantly growing CO2 concentration and billions spent in the toys of the so called "experts"as are Satellites and measurement installations. Our tax money is spent only to convince us that we have to stay true belivers of the IPCC dogma and destroy our perfect energy base, like complete idiots.The beneficial side of CO2, like the "greening of the planet" by CO2 fertilization is much higher than the speculated and not measurable problems of these live spending molecules.

    Good news for Mr Englander sea level will go on rising with 1.1 mm per year in Florida and all over the ocean coasts of the planet. No acceleration. In Miami the coast is subsiding as in New York, Boston etc. But the net sea level rise is 1.1 mm as measured by all tide gauges all over the world. The Indian Ocean shows even 0.0 mm sea level rise since decades in spite of "dramatic" ice melts in Grenland and Antarctica. And the global warming seems to have 0.00 influence on sea level. I trust the tide gauges more than the Satellite altimetry with a very poor accuracy of their radars. Bangladesh and Maledives will not get drowned. But Mr Englander will have to look for another scaring story for his next Ted talk.

You will find some of those are literally miles from the coast today. Conversely, look up Doggerland that is now under the North Sea. Any true scientist will accept that his opening statement is inaccurate & misleading.

    In order to address the problem of rising sea levels, how about this alternative idea: We explode us into a deeper landscape beneath the sea, so that the water have more space/ depth to be in. We use the remaining rock fragments from the explosions on the already existing land, above sea - or send the obsolete rock mass to outer space.
