Sea Level: Another Thing The IPCC Got Wrong

Sea Level: Another Thing The IPCC Got Wrong JunkScience Sidebar
In its influential report the IPCC assumed that global sea level change during the past two thousand years up to the middle of the nineteenth century, was zero.

To my mind this is a puzzling statement.
Few parameters of our complex, changing world are actually zero.
If it is zero then it is in stark contrast to today’s rising seas, and if one was cynical one could deduce a political motive behind the IPCC’s sweeping statement.
Whatever the motivation it is obvious that looking at sea level change over the past two thousand years is essential to put today’s changes into context.
