Six vertical inches is several horizontal feet. Even more if the angle of the coast is shallow.Sea level rise is the single easiest way to determine if Ice Caps and glaciers are melting. If Ice at the North pole melts that will not cause sea level to rise because the ice is in the sea. But if the Ice caps, and glaciers are melting it will. They tell us it can be 20 feet, well, in the last 100 years it has been six inches and as someone else pointed out that has been the natural trend since the end of the last ice age, so the six inches doesn't really mean much of anything.
Even less if the the angle of the coast is steep. No doubt, to lose two or three feet of beachfront property, wow, you can see why some of these elites are freaking out.Six vertical inches is several horizontal feet. Even more if the angle of the coast is shallow.
Observational science such as meteorology where you record the temperature every day.
There are no theories regarding the reading of a thermometer. Temperature records
can never be replaced by some alternate theory. Temperature records cannot be debated
by anyone. If Nasa or some other organization tells you the temperature is rising, then
that is a scientific fact.
There's a lot of disinformation in the mainstream media.
There were only about 2 dozen (maybe 4 dozen, can't remember) continuously monitoring thermometer stations in the entire southern hemisphere, with most of those being in SE Australia, for the first 70 years of the temperature record. Since they don't have adequate temp records to be able to know what the temps were throughout the entire southern hemisphere for half of the temperature record, they simply make data up. I got this info directly from NASA
Since the Ocean makes up 70% of surface it seems the temperature of the ocean is more important and also easier to monitor.There were only about 2 dozen (maybe 4 dozen, can't remember) continuously monitoring thermometer stations in the entire southern hemisphere, with most of those being in SE Australia, for the first 70 years of the temperature record.

BOY HOWDY!!!! But nothing's really all that different than it ever has been. Edger Allen Poe was the one who, in 1845, coined the message:
"Believe NOTHING that you hear, and only half of what you see". the national media is mostly total garbage, and the internet is at least an order of magnitude less reliable than that. With the ability to doctor video data, you shouldn't believe anything that you See either in 2025.
Assuming all of that is accurate, it does not require high technology to measure the temperature and since everyone would do it given the chance it is certainly reasonable assumption. That means temperature is up 0.4%
You would need to quote that information.
National analysis of Australian temperature began in 1910.
Australia has temperature records before 1910 but it became national in 1910.
All I am interested in is the temperature records since the 1950s.
Why is that? Because I lived through those yearly temperatures from the 1950s.
Globally, the last two years have been the hottest years on record, that is an observational fact.
Our household used heaters in winter until I was twenty years old.
After I was twenty years old we had no need for a heater anymore.

I taught Earth Science for many years, so yes, I am familiar with that fact. But now my turn, did you know in the last 70 years the number of earthquakes on Earth is up 1,000%. That is significantly more than a 0.4% increase in temperature or a 6 inch rise in sea level.Satellites do that job plus thousands of Buoys.
Did you know that only 30% of the Northern Hemisphere is covered in ocean.
Where as the Southern Hemisphere has 70% covered in ocean.
I can't quote it because it was an interactive 3D globe app on the NASA website. You could plug in the date range and rotate and spin the globe to see where the temp stations were. For continuous temp recording stations from 1880 to 1950, ie, one half of the temp record, there was only one in S America below the equator, 2 in Africa below the equator, none in Antartica, 10-20 in Australia mostly in the SE coast, and a few in SE Asia. That's it for the whole southern hemisphere. So when they say that the global temp has risen 1.6C since 1850, they are just lying because they have no idea what the global temp was for most of the temperature record. They simply fill in the gaps with made-up data, and gullible people believe them.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has confirmed that 2024 is the warmest year on record,
based on six international datasets. The past ten years have all been in the Top Ten, in an extraordinary
streak of record-breaking temperatures.
Who cares about 1850???
