Science!

Because I'm fatigued with all of the low-AGL folks lecturing me about global cooling warming climate change disruption cooling, I thought we'd feature some science.  The apolitical kind, that is, since I'm not using studies to justify a fat government grant.

Since the current occupant of The White House is to blame for...well...everything ever, including the rise of sea levels, I thought it might be useful to track sea levels from the earliest records, as categorized by U.S. presidential terms.  Please note, the sea levels have been rising at a steady rate since Lincoln was in The White House:


Oh, my gerd!  We need to do something about this now!  Quick, socialists, raise the taxes!

Well, hang on a moment.  Here's a chart that compares natural sea level increase with human-caused increase:


I regret that it says "man-made" instead of something uber-woke like "Xer/Xhe-made", but these are from Europeans for whom English is a second language and they haven't been "educated" as to our Woketopic system, yet.

Anyway, starting at the end of the glacial age, the reader may see five arrows indicating natural increases in sea levels.  Then, there is the sixth arrow indicating "man-made" [again, sorry about that, wokesters] increases.

Can you see the human-made increase?  Maybe if you squint, I don't know.  The point is that the effect of humans, and human industry, is microscopic.  It is not caused by one person, or one generation, or even any generation as 99.9% of the increase is natural.  That is, organic.

However, the natural rise and fall of sea levels is not useful in scaring voters into supporting greedophiles in elected office nor for encouraging acquiescence in raising tax revenue so that politicians will have more funds to shovel to their cronies.  So, there continues to be science vs. "science".
