What the past tells us about modern sea-level rise

By Alton Parrish via IIAI, December 2013


Researchers from the University of Southampton and the Australian National University report that sea-level rise since the industrial revolution has been fast by natural standards and – at current rates – may reach 80cm above the modern level by 2100 and 2.5 metres by 2200.

The team used geological evidence of the past few million years to derive a background pattern of natural sea-level rise. This was compared with historical tide-gauge and satellite observations of sea-level change for the ‘global warming’ period, since the industrial revolution. The study, which was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (iGlass consortium) and Australian Research Council (Laureate Fellowship), is published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Lead author Professor Eelco Rohling, from the Australian National University and formerly of the University of Southampton, says: “Our natural background pattern from geological evidence should not be confused with a model-based prediction. It instead uses data to illustrate how fast sea level might change if only normal, natural processes were at work. There is no speculation about any new mechanisms that might develop due to man-made global warming. Put simply, we consider purely what nature has done before, and therefore could do again.”

Co-author Dr Gavin Foster, a Reader in Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton, who is based at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (NOCS), explains: “Geological data showed that sea level would likely rise by nine metres or more as the climate system adjusts to today’s greenhouse effect. But the timescale for this was unclear. So we studied past rates and timescales of sea-level rise, and used these to determine the natural background pattern.”

Co-author Dr Ivan Haigh, lecturer in coastal oceanography at the University of Southampton and also based at NOCS, adds: “Historical observations show a rising sea level from about 1800 as sea water warmed up and melt water from glaciers and ice fields flowed into the oceans. Around 2000, sea level was rising by about three mm per year. That may sound slow, but it produces a significant change over time.”

The natural background pattern allowed the team to see whether recent sea-level changes are exceptional or within the normal range, and whether they are faster, equal, or slower than natural changes.

Professor Rohling concludes: “For the first time, we can see that the modern sea-level rise is quite fast by natural standards. Based on our natural background pattern, only about half the observed sea-level rise would be expected.

“Although fast, the observed rise still is (just) within the ‘natural range’. While we are within this range, our current understanding of ice-mass loss is adequate. Continued monitoring of future sea-level rise will show if and when it goes outside the natural range. If that happens, then this means that our current understanding falls short, potentially with severe consequences.”

Major Ed Dames on Coast To Coast, 9th December 2013 - Remote Viewing Forecasts

Just for information via transient.info


Below is a two and an hour and 20 recording of Coast to Coast which includes an interview with Major Ed Dames on his latest remote viewing information. Notes have been taken of this interview which I will stick in below.

Ed Dames:  Remote Viewing
Precursor to the Kill Shot:  a space shuttle anomaly forced down by a comet shower.  A nuke on the North Korean land.

Japan / Fukushima:
Fuk. Is not fixable!
Fuk. Problems will increase and in spring the mainstream media will no longer be able to hide it.
Reactor 3 will go down (break) he gave no time frame.
Japan will economical collapse first --- unknown date

Sanctuary:
There are 300 safe communities:  These people have a wide range of skills and are willing to work together.
Of the 300, only 3 are near cities
In British Columbia there are NO safe areas because of Fuk.
Christ Church, New Zealand is a safe place.
WA, OR, the Only safe place is the middle of eastern part of State.
None in California
Canada—one is Alberta
USA—one is Appalachian mountain
USA, There are 3 in Colorado—not Denver
Check out the forum on “Learn RV” for a longer list.
Weather:

The flux between the core of the earth and sun will continue
Mini Ice Age will get closer

Alien Contact:
He R.V the contact and found two groups
One is the federation of Planets
Two: Humans who were raised on another planet and then brought back here with advanced tech.  Their goal is to monitor the nukes of the world and make sure we don’t kill ourselves.
He says it will take us to be higher intelligence to contact them.  We need them to get through the coming times.
There is a structure on the dark side of the moon that is active.

War:
Japan and China get into, most likely over the islands. USA steps in to help Japan. China then lets North Korea “off the letch”.  N.K will not most likely use nukes.
We will lose the economic war with China.
He is unknown about Iran.

Other:
There are no bright spots for 2014
Western Europe and North America recession will ongoing in 2014
China’s new currency will stay on track, backed by gold (most likely other things as well)
USA loses more and more power on the world stage
Riots could pop up anywhere at anytime
Infrastructure will begin to collapse
Dolphins and Wales are having their immune distressed because of the USA navy and pollution of the sea.
A global collapse will be followed by global pandemic



Video Description : "Remote viewing teacher Ed Dames presented his latest insights and predictions on such subjects as 'Solar Killshot' safe havens, ongoing extraterrestrial intervention, the Fukushima disaster, and war with Iran. 

We're not going to be hit by just one mega solar flare, but a series of them over time (perhaps over a 1-2 year period), "that's going to turn Earth into a veritable X-ray & proton rotisserie," he said. Locations in the southern hemisphere, such as in Australia and Africa will have few survival zones, though Christchurch, New Zealand is one possible sanctuary, he said.

If you aren't in a safe haven, then living underground to avoid the high winds and dark skies, is your best option, he added. One bright spot is that there will be ET intervention to help us to rebuild after the solar calamity, he shared. In fact, ETs have already intervened to stop WWIII several times, he claimed. Non-terrestrial humans who have a base here on Earth, have generated glowing plasma balls to stop nuclear activity, Dames continued. 

He also foresees a global pandemic that will be a combination of bird and swine flu, as well as worldwide financial collapse triggered by Japan's economy suddenly failing. Dames, who previously predicted a large quake in Japan a number of years before the Fukushima incident (view related video), said there will be 50,000-80,000 deaths from cancers associated with the nuclear plant fallout, with children being particularly susceptible. He sees America getting drawn into a war or military activity against Iran, which in turn will cause China to coax North Korea to start a confrontation, while the US is vulnerable."
