3 New Studies Confirm Sea Levels Were 5 to 9 Meters Higher 7,000-5,000 Years Ago Than Today

Modern relative sea levels are near the lowest in the last 7,000 years.

Two studies, independently published, identified Mid-Holocene sea levels in northern Norway (north of the Arctic Circle) as being 7 to 9 meters higher than today before declining to the present (Balascio et al., 2024Nielsen et al., 2024). [emphasis, links added]

This region of the Arctic was warm enough to support human settlements and boat harbors during the Medieval Warm Period.

As the climate deteriorated into the Little Ice Age cooling centuries after the Medieval warmth, the accompanying sea level fall led to abandoned residences, ships, and harbors.

The seas had become too shallow to sail in.

It is sometimes assumed that these much higher Holocene relative sea levels are merely a function of tectonics or post-glacial uplift.

But sea levels in the tropics (for example the Malaysia-Thailand region) unaffected by ice-loading vertical land motions were also anywhere from 2 to 5 meters higher than today during this Mid-Holocene period before declining to present levels (Punwong et al., 2024).

“The Malay-Thai Peninsula is tectonically stable and remote from isostatic ice-loading effects.”

The recent sea level rise in recent centuries is thus well within the range of natural sea level variations.

    “Sea Levels Were 5 to 9 Meters Higher 7,000-5,000 Years Ago Than Today”

    In the last ice age sea levels where 400 feet (~ 120 Meter) below the current sea levels: https://youtube.com/watch?v=C2iayxeT-eA&t=19m45s

    It’s a fact that we are moving towards a new Ice Age, where the sea levels will probably go dramatically down.

    “In 1997 there was a project called GRIP (Greenland Ice Core Project) where they drilled deep cores into the ice in central Greenland. They went down as much as two miles deep and pulled the cores up so that they could look at ice that had formed as much as two hundred and fifty thousand years ago, and they determined that every Ice Age in the last quarter million years, every single Ice Age began in less than 20 years, beginning in less than twenty years. It went from temperatures and climate as warm as today into full-fledged glacial severity in less than twenty years.”

    Give me a call when all the millionaires and billionaires sell their ocean front estates and move to higher ground.
