Today's BBC News website has a story about how sea level rises are going to exceed expectations:-
The global sea level looks set to rise far higher than forecast because of changes in the polar ice-sheets, a team of researchers has suggested.
Scientists at a climate change summit in Copenhagen said earlier UN estimates were too low and that sea levels could rise by a metre or more by 2100.
Which comes as a surprise as a year ago the BBC reported that they were predicting a one and a half metre rise.So my expectations aren't going be exceeded by the latest research, and I get all my news from the BBC.
Actually since 2006 the BBC have been reporting that sea levels could rise by such a wide range, what are we supposed to believe?
When applied to the possible scenarios outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the researchers found that in 2100 sea levels would be 0.5-1.4m above 1990 levels.
Are they making it up as they go along? A bt of consistency please?
no chance of consistency when your research grant depends on uncertainty and doom-mongering
