Which brings us back to the first question that should always be asked. Is there any human effect on the planet's temperature? For all the drowning coastal cities hype over the past decades, Plymouth Rock is still out of the water.
That's over 400 years, the span of the entire industrial revolution and beyond...
Pray tell, aside from some subsidence in areas where the underlying strata are chiefly mud, and the inconvenient but constant natural reconfiguration of coastal deposits (mostly sand moving about, often during storm events), where is this huge rise in sea level taking place?
Has the data been fatally corrupted to match the models, rather than just derive a better predictive model that also works in the past?
There is so much money (grants, etc.) and prestige involved that the temptation to throw integrity out with the actual data must be pretty severe, especially in the face of a cancel culture 'consensus' that mainly exists in the minds of those who deny articles and studies for publication that do not conform to their lucrative narratives.
