| 1488311 | 2022-09-15 09:17:00 | HERE (www.rnz.co.nz) "Out of the locations monitored for the last 120 years, Lyttelton had seen the highest long-term trend in relative sea-level rise, at 2.24mm/year." And some give this crap credence. :lol: |

| 1488313 | 2022-09-15 23:08:00 | So in about 100 years say, that's about 2 meters overall rise. Here in Woolston which I have been in for the last eight years, we are very close to the sea water shore and I am sure there is noticeably more surface water all around the suburb's roads and gardens than there was before when I first got here. Another meter rise, which is happening much faster nowadays, and access to my driveway will be impossible. |

Often wonder about the artesian water uptakes around the world, especially as we have the brains to desalinate sea water, as in Sydney Australia. Look at California, they have actually run out of artesian water and for one of the wealthiest US states, they deserve having no water to fight forest fires, "shame", or whatever his favourite word TRUMP would say. Same with our Canterbury bottled water going off to China, thank goodness they have put a pause on it, till they change the category from abattoir's to human consumption. lurking. |

| 1488315 | 2022-09-16 06:36:00 | Don't you believe those figures I’m imaging some trapeze artist hanging over the Lyttelton Wharf, every New Years day, with his micrometer screaming “She’s up 2 . 44mm Boss” . (The 2 . 44mm is scary for a years rise but it must be right because it has two decimal points . ) ;) And I’m still laughing about an incident a while ago when the Green’s, in Greenland, found a Stone Stock-wall which they claimed was irrefutable evidence of Global Warming . The Guardian made a meal out of it but they overlooked the fact that: 1: The Stone Stock-walls were built to contain Stock . 2: Stock require Pasture . 3: So Greenland must have been warmer many years ago and there were no Motor Vehicles or Coal-fired Power Stations to cause this phenomenon of the earth heating and cooling . Bugger! However, another laugh I’ve had, and am getting sick off, is the constant attaching of photo’s of the Cooling Towers on Coal Fired Power Stations belching Water Vapour and depicting them as Chimneys and Smoke to all their believers and the gullible . And don’t get me started on that poor Polar Bear still circling the earth on his iceberg . He must have been going around the world for 20 years now on the same iceberg . :D |

| 1488318 | 2022-09-17 05:58:00 | They never seem to take any account of the fact that the land itself is not stable particularly in NZ and has moved up and down. That makes it hard to believe that they can definitely state that the sea level has raised or not at any location. | CliveM (6007) | ||

And some give this crap credence. :lol: that figure actually sounds about right. however its not "sea level rise", but rather the land sinking. or importantly the combo of both. some parts of nz are going up, some are going down. |

| 1488320 | 2022-09-17 06:41:00 | The only thing they were interested in 120 years ago was the depth of the water in Fathoms and parts thereof, not Millimetres to two decimal places. :rolleyes: The other thing is these greenies are big on categorical statements, but never interested in debating any of them. :groan: |
