The metre sea level rise is nonsense. The land sinking has greater movement that any sea level rise in the UK.
No, not quite. The processes of isostatic rebound (if you want to pull the science card lets use the proper terms!
) as it is occurring in the UK will, at least in the south and Midlands increase local sea level rises, admittedly for Scotland and the north it will have some negating effects on sea level rise. In 2013 the IPCC prediction was by 2100 of rises up to 69cm. UKCIP has predicted, including rebound of UK local rise of just over 50cm. Those are by 2100, when isostatic rates are measure in sub millimeters a year sort of rates they are not a saviour.
And it was recently discovered that the old figures made no calculations for water being absorbed by land and lakes.
Well, lets see what the USGS say.* Earth's water reservoirs, 97.4% of Earth's water is saline water, most of which (96.5%) is in the oceans. 2.5% is freshwater. 68.7% of that is within the icecaps, 30.1% is groundwater and 1.2% is other freshwater. Only within that 1.2% of other freshwater do we find rivers and lakes, which only make up 23% of that 1.2% of the freshwater which makes up only 2.5% of all of Earth's water. As a reservoir that is going to have a serious impact on the water cycle lakes and land is not. However we are approaching a situation where almost 70% of the freshwater on the planet is at risk of changing reservoir.
Don't forget all these climate scientists were saying an ice age was going to happen in the 70s before going on to global warming which then got disproved, now climate change is the term they use as they can attribute it to absolutely everything.
Are you the sort of person who points to colder and or more extreme weather being proof of not global warming? Climate change is the used term because the climate isn't and won't change uniformally. Working example, London and Moscow both sit above 50 degrees North. London however has a far warmer average temperature than Moscow, currently. As I'm sure you know London (and much of Northern Europe) receive a climate warmer that one would expect from their northerly location. This is all down to the action of the Atlantic conveyor which brings nice toasty warm water from the Caribbean to Northern Europe giving the Atlantic coast a relatively warm climate. The conveyor is nice and complex but at a basic level works on salinity and density of water, the sudden melting of the Artic and Greenland ice is likely to decrease the salinity of the Atlantic enough to stop the conveyor functioning as it does so global warming will probably bring far far colder weather to Europe.
The Kioto Report (yes they mis-spelled it) had predictions over temperatures in regard to CO2 emmissions, all have been totally wrong.
Not sure about the spelling. Kyoto seems to be how the Japanese anglicise it. Predictions are wrong, it happens. Doesn't mean everything is wrong. Though I'd like some facts and figures.
I studied Environmental Sciences and got my degree from it, and I discovered the temperatures measured each year aren't even the same list of places, and they add more every year, less likely in polar areas I might add, so the average is distorted.
Yes, well I got mine in Physical Geography. Not sure where you are going with this point. More sample sites is a good thing. If you wan't to try and find numbers that prove your point go on. But I like to look at the numbers and the facts. The extreme weather. The longer and more extreme hurricane seasons, sea ice retreat both in the Arctic and Antarctic, the vast majority of global glaciers are in retreat. The once legendary Northwest passage is now open. Permafrost is starting to melt. Ice shelfs dropping off Antarctica.
