    Tidalgate: Climate Alarmists Caught Faking Sea Level Rise


    Tidalgate: Climate Alarmists Caught Faking Sea Level Rise

    Alarmist scientists have been caught red-handed tampering with raw data in order to exaggerate sea level rise.

    The raw (unadjusted) data from three Indian Ocean gauges – Aden, Karachi and Mumbai – showed that local sea level trends in the last 140 years had been very gently rising, neutral or negative (ie sea levels had fallen).

    But after the evidence had been adjusted by tidal records gatekeepers at the global databank Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) it suddenly showed a sharp and dramatic rise.

    The whistle was blown by two Australian scientists Dr. Albert Parker and Dr. Clifford Ollier in a paper for Earth Systems and Environment.

    The paper – Is the Sea Level Stable at Aden, Yemen? – examines the discrepancies between raw and adjusted sea level data in Aden, Karachi and Mumbai.

    Kenneth Richard at No Tricks Zone reports:

    The authors expose how PSMSL data-adjusters make it appear that stable sea levels can be rendered to look like they are nonetheless rising at an accelerated pace.

    The data-adjusters take misaligned and incomplete sea level data from tide gauges that show no sea level rise (or even a falling trend). Then, they subjectively and arbitrarily cobble them together, or realign them. In each case assessed, PSMSL data-adjusters lower the earlier misaligned rates and raise the more recent measurements. By doing so, they concoct a new linearly-rising trend.



    ...The authors do not mince their words. They refer to these adjustments as "highly questionable" and "suspicious."

    That's because they can find no plausible scientific explanation for the adjustments....



    ....Again, there is no plausible scientific explanation for these adjustments.

    As the authors put it:

    "It is always highly questionable to shift data collected in the far past without any proven new supporting material."

    Indeed, but it is perfectly consistent with the behavior of alarmist scientists in other fields, notably those concerning surface temperature data records. As we have reported here before, there is copious evidence to suggest that the gatekeepers of global warming have consistently and shamelessly cooked the books and rigged the data in order to give the impression that "climate change" is a major and unprecedented phenomenon.

    A major part of the global warming scare narrative is that melting ice caps will cause sea levels to rise at a dangerous and unprecedented rate, enveloping low-lying Pacific islands, flooding vulnerable countries like Bangladesh and perhaps one day drowning even places like Manhattan.

    There is little if any scientific evidence that this is actually happening.

    What's extraordinary is the desperation of scientists at what ought to be impeccably neutral and trustworthy institutions such as NASA, NOAA and PSMSL to pretend that it is.

    When alarmists in charge of surface temperature datasets make dishonest adjustments to exaggerate the appearance of global warming, it looks like corruption.

    When alarmists in the entirely separate field of sea level measurement make precisely the same sort of dishonest adjustments in order to accord with the same global warming narrative, it starts to look like a conspiracy.

    What are their answers to those accusations ?

    They probably don't have one, Colonel.

    You could try to dig and search for it if you really want to find out.

    I'm quite sure that they have one, just not what that would be. There is always some kind of official answer.
