A blatent example is his use of the 2.5 year blip in NASA's record of rising seas. These are common occurences due to seasonal variations over more than a century of recording. Indeed they actually tell us how accurate our records have become. We can record when particularly snowy years over land actually reduce sea level increases FOR SHORT periods. Note also that our sea level rises have been and will be increasingly exponential. Thus I suggest it is best to trust authorities such as NASA and NOAA than dubious math of spruikers. Furthermore, some coastal areas have to add subsiding lands to their calculations which Brickell fails to address. The following link provides a very clear explanation. I suggest our young readers take a few moments to read it.
