"Sea level rise has averaged 30 inches per century over the last 15,000 years – which means that the past century had much less sea level rise than average. Tide gauges in New York and New Jersey show no acceleration over the last 160 years....

"Twitter / KHayhoe: 1. Sea level is 7″ higher now …"...
How did Katherine determine that the small warm area east of New Jersey was caused by “climate change?” Did climate change miss the unusually cold water around Alaska, New Zealand and South America? Hayhoe’s second comment also shows that she is either incompetent or dishonest.

Ed. note: On Sat., 11/24/12, PBS ran a NOVA program about recent super storm Sandy which concluded of course that "billions" more dollars must be transferred from already strapped US taxpayers to the glittering global warming "infrastructure" industry so dear to CO2 billionaires like Mayor Bloomberg. In its portrayal of Sandy PBS continued its advocacy for the multi-trillion dollar CO2 terror industry. The program said you can't say one weather event is due to global warming (ie excess CO2) but we CAN say for sure global warming or climate change (ie excess CO2) has caused sea levels to rise and that caused Sandy to be worse (as stated here). The narrator said warmer temperatures from global warming cause warmer oceans and warm water takes up more volume. He concluded that cities must spend "billions" on infrastructure because of extra sea level rise (due to CO2). It was also stated on the program that sea level has risen in New York a foot in the last century. It wasn't stated as if this were normal, but as if it were frightening. As noted in link above,
NOAA data says sea level has NOT risen at an above normal rate in the New York/New Jersey area for at least the past 156 years.
There are several PBS/NOVA Sandy links, I'm not sure which connects to the tv show on 11/24 but this example repeats their mantra that it's an indisputable fact that man caused global warming exists (ie CO2 terror) and is causing rising sea levels which is what made Sandy as bad as it was.
Not mentioned by PBS is an indisputable fact that negates their whole NYC CO2 terror thesis, which is that US CO2 emissions have plunged dramatically over the past 20 years to the point where experts expect US energy policy will change to reflect that US CO2 emissions aren't the concern they once were. Therefore even if CO2 does cause rising sea levels,
- other countries are causing the problem, not the US.
for no-strings "climate" projects...despite whining to the contrary by "global climate convention" jet setters.

11/15/12, "Hurricanes and Climate Change," PBS, Nova, McQuaid
Subhead: "A Dangerous Future"
"Hurricanes do most of their damage with high winds and storm surges. The global warming effect on the former is debated, but the latter isn't. Global sea levels have risen approximately 1.7 mm per year between 1950 and 2009, and at an accelerated pace of 3.3 mm from 1993 on. This is due to climatic changes. Warmer water expands, melting ice puts more water in the ocean, and rainfall patterns have shifted. Sea level rise is worse in some places than others. As fate would have it, the Northeast Atlantic coast is one of those unfortunate locations. One recent study showed that sea levels from North Carolina to Canada have been rising at three to four times the global average since 1950. By definition, higher seas mean higher storm surges."...

...And ever more billions of hard earned US middle class taxpayer dollars to billionaire CO2 terror profiteers such as the Sultan of Brunei and Mayor Bloomberg.
In addition to lavish spending at 13 federal agencies tasked with 'climate' endeavors.
NYC Mayor Hopeful and Bloomberg ally Quinn of course says $20 billion hard earned tax dollars must be spent on "infrastructure" to deal with the next "Sandy."
She doesn't mention this will also keep billionaire CO2 terror profiteer/gamblers from going bankrupt.

8/16/12, “AP IMPACT: CO2 emissions in US drop to 20-year low,” AP, Kevin Begos
“In a surprising turnaround, the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere in the U.S. has fallen dramatically to its lowest level in 20 years, and government officials say the biggest reason is that cheap and plentiful natural gas has led many power plant operators to switch from dirtier-burning coal.
Many of the world’s leading climate scientists didn’t see the drop coming, in large part because it happened as a result of market forces rather than direct government action against carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere.
Michael Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State University, said the shift away from coal is reason for “cautious optimism” about potential ways to deal with climate change….
In a little-noticed technical report, the U.S. Energy Information Agency, a part of the Energy Department, said this month that energy related U.S. CO2 emissions for the first four months of this year fell to about 1992 levels. Energy emissions make up about 98 percent of the total.
The Associated Press contacted environmental experts, scientists and utility companies and learned that
virtually everyone believes the shift could have major long-term implications for U.S. energy policy.”…

"The Obama administration has requested $770 million in federal funds to combat the effects of global warming in developing countries, a new congressional report details, continuing its policy of using foreign aid to combat the effects of global warming in the developing world.
The figure, from a recent report from the Congressional Research Service (CRS), shows that despite another year of $1 trillion deficits, the Obama administration continues to pursue its policy of using foreign aid funds for anti-global warming measures – known as the Global Climate Change Initiative (GCCI).
According to CRS, the government has spent a total of $2.5 billion on GCCI since 2010 on overseas anti-global warming efforts in Latin America, Asia, and Africa."...

Global Warming 'action' was institutionalized in US government in 1990 by George Bush the 1st in the "U.S. Global Change Research Act of 1990." CO2 is mentioned near the end.
Devoting 13 US federal agencies to 'climate' endeavors today if anything is likely wasted and uncoordinated climate "action."

“Groups representing the world’s largest investors have published an open letter addressed to governments of the world’s largest economies calling for a new dialogue on climate change policy in order to avert dangerous climate change and its resulting economic impacts.
The letter, from the America-based Ceres, announced ahead of the United Nations climate negotiations starting on 26th November in Doha, calls for:
Clear, consistent and predictable policies that encourage low carbon investment;
knowledge sharing between governments on effective climate and clean energy policies, building on successful existing national and regional measures;
stronger international agreements that send clear market signals about the future of climate policy and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.”…

It justified huge subsidies for solar and wind power (and thereby guaranteed huge fortunes for clever green-oriented investors). ...But those glory days are over now, and the smarter environmentalists are bowing to the inevitable."...
