Sea Level Check – India
In this recurring feature from the Climate Discussion Nexus, we check claims of relentless sea level rise against actual data.
An emergency update on sea level checks takes us to India, where the first stop is the city of Thoothukudi. Thoothukudi lies on the southern tip near Sri Lanka, known as the Pearl City for its pearl fishing.
Thoothukudi is home to about 340,000 inhabitants, the sea level record goes back to 1964 according to the NOAA website. The records show that the sea levels are rising at an annual rate 0.54 millimetres per year.

Hi PSI Readers,
The important fact about these sea level records is not their trends but the maximum short term levels that have occurred which significantly exceed the trend 100 years from from now. Which are the result of earthquakes and storms.

The rate of sea level change (1st derivative) has not changed since they started taking records back before the Civil War. https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.shtml?id=8518750

Hi Chris,
I do not understand how the “first derivative” changes the continual change of the sea level at the point it has been measured. I do not believe you stupid or trying to deceive anyone but I do believe you haven’t seriously pondered the information seen in (on) the graphs and pondered that which you wrote.
I often do this just. Because I know this I sometimes catch these simple mistakes and correct them.
Have a good day

And I ponder and ponder and still cannot see why, how, these double posts occur

Sea level slope has been stable for over a century and a half. What do you not understand about that? Not trying to be a dick, but look at that chart. If you mentally overlay CO2 on top of the sea level data, the spike up in atmospheric fertilizer began in the 1960s. If there was some relationship between sea level and CO2 then there would have been a knee in the sea level curve, or change in the slope. But there is no change in the rate of sea level change, which means there is no relationship. “Sea level rise” is what the climate change zealots never shut up about. But there is no relationship. So at the very least they need to find some new boogey man to latch on to. Cheers!

Hi Chris, You wrote; “the spike up in atmospheric fertilizer began in the 1960s.”
I was around in the 1960s and the 1950s, so I know rapidly technology began changing (evolving) after WWII. So I am quite sure that the concentration of CO2 was not commonly being measuring. It seems too many these days ignore KNOWN, UNDEBATABLE, HISTORY.
Have a good day

Nope. Try again. The climate cult is just that, a quasi-religious cult based on faith in the nonsensical, faith in the lies that the corrupt power-hungry globalists would have you believe. Scripps institute is no bastion of right-wing thinking, check out the data yourself: https://scrippsco2.ucsd.edu/data/atmospheric_co2/icecore_merged_products.html

Why is it the so-called ‘scientists’ promoting the ‘sea level rise scare’ never bother to explain why some areas in the world have rising sea levels, and other areas have falling or neutral sea levels?
Why don’t they also not bother to explain that continents and tectonic plates move several meters across oceans each century?

Exactly. Going back to the NOAA sea level rise chart(s), compare the one I posted above in response to Mr. Krause’s ideas (The Battery, New York), with Stockholm, Sweden and the difference couldn’t be greater – because the area around Stockholm is rising faster than the sea level: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/sltrends_station.shtml?id=050-141
