Study: Sea Level Rise Revised Downward
July 21st, 2017 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.

If I had not looked past the headline of the press report on a new study, I would have just filed it under “It’s worse than we thought”. A new study in Nature reported on July 17 carried the following headlines:

“Satellite snafu masked true sea-level rise for decades”
“Revised tallies confirm that the rate of sea-level rise is accelerating as the Earth warms and ice sheets thaw.”

When I read that, I (like everyone else) assumed that corrections to the satellite sea level data since 1993 have now led to a revised trend toward faster (not slower) sea level rise. Right?

Doesn't fit the alarmist media's liberal agenda.  No coverage of this correction to be allowed.

Maybe part of their strategy is to periodically sneak in "adjustments" to past data to make current and future data comparison trends look worse?
