Your link purports to show a trend for Charleston, which it plots for the past 85 years, but adds the previous 15 years as a projection of the trend line. Trend lines can be notoriously misleading. For example, if you took the same data in the chart, but calculated the trend from just the past 17 years (1996 to 2013), the trend would show a <i>declining</i> sea level. At this point, once cannot rule out that the data are showing the beginning of a global cooling (new ice age). (Remember that in the 60's and early 70's, the warnings were all about global cooling -- see your chart in that time period, again.)<br /><br />To project a trend 100 years in the future, one would ideally need to have data plotted for the past 10,000 to 20,000 years. With the data on the plot, one cannot project even a full year ahead, and so it makes no point to speculate.A. S.

(Note: your Curmudgeon has donated all of his legal time and expenses to the Diocese, and does not stand to benefit in any manner from the Quincy Defense Fund.) If the reader of this post is in any position to help with a contribution to the fund, which is administered by the American Anglican Council, he or she may send a check made payable to that organization (with a memo: "Quincy Defense Fund") to:<br /><br />Mark Gamage<br />3914 W Crimson Road<br />Dunlap, IL 61525Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906980382835490734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-44788039138402459962013-11-07T15:04:39.612-08:002013-11-07T15:04:39.612-08:00I guess a straightforward complaint would result i...I guess a straightforward complaint would result in fewer billable hours to argue than this latest salvo which seems so full of rabbit holes that chasing them down every one will only serve to enrich the 815 legal team and cost Quincy.
