New Peer-Reviewed Study Obliterates the Climate Cult’s Narrative on Sea Levels
by JD Rucker

(Substack)—For years, warnings about accelerating sea levels have dominated headlines, fueling calls for sweeping policy changes and massive investments in green energy. But a new peer-reviewed study challenges that narrative head-on, suggesting the rise is far more gradual than previously claimed.
Published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, the research titled “A Global Perspective on Local Sea Level Changes” by Dutch hydraulic engineer Hessel Voortman and researcher Rob de Vos analyzed data from over 150,000 coastal locations worldwide. Their findings indicate that sea levels are rising at a rate of about 1.5 millimeters per year—translating to roughly six inches over the century—mirroring the pace seen in the previous 100 years. This contradicts projections from complex climate models that have forecasted rises of one to three feet by 2100, often based on limited Antarctic observations and assumptions about ocean responses to warming.
Voortman, who initiated the study after discrepancies arose in his flood-protection work for the Netherlands, expressed surprise at the lack of prior scrutiny.
“It is crazy that it had not been done,” he told journalist Michael Shellenberger. “I started doing this research in 2021 by doing the literature review. ‘Who has done the comparison of the projections with the observations?’ And there were none.”
He went on to detail the effort: “I had to do a lot of programming and automate data imports and data management. I organized it by using databases so that I really knew what I was doing. It was very structured because I was dealing with 150,000 locations and, on average, 100 years of data. That made one and a half million lines of data. I found myself for days working on things that I felt, ‘This is more computer science than civil engineering.'”
The study’s abstract underscores the implications for coastal planning: “On average, the rate of rise projected by the IPCC is biased upward with approximately 2 mm per year in comparison with the observed rate.” In 95% of suitable locations examined, there was no statistically significant acceleration, pointing to local factors like land subsidence or tectonic activity for the anomalies in the remaining 5%. As Voortman noted to Shellenberger, “The average rate of sea level rise in 2020 is (only) around 1.5 mm/year (15 cm per century).

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
