What islands do you speak of?I guess that's the only spot on earth where sea level did not appear to rise - just like Greenland being used as an example because it is cooling while the rest of the globe is warming.
No, water’s-edge pics don’t prove climate change is a hoax
A few days before Earth Day 2021, a meme spread across Facebook claiming to have proof that climate change is a hoax. Bu
Well, how about those islands being evacuated due to sea rise?

Not a contradiction. Do you know what caused the dip? I'll tell you. Antarctica had an ice compaction event in 2016. The ice around Antarctica expanded to all-time highs right before strong poleward winds compacted the ice and dropped it down to a minimum in a short period of time. The NSIDC reported on this, and there was no indication that AGW influences had anything to do with the ice compaction event. The Antarctic ice has rebounded quite rapidly since the 2017 minimum. Have a look.
Do you claim to be more knowledgeable about climate than Dr. Steven Koonin? I assume that you aren't. And I reckon that is a highly accurate assumption.Alternative facts, like Faux News.
Circular reasoning! “It couldn’t have been warmer in the 1930’s because the oceans would have been higher”
The 2016-2017 dip was due to an ice compaction event in Antarctica. The ice extent around Antarctica was at a satellite era high before it compacted in a short amount of time. This was due to a strong poleward component of wind. It has well recovered since then.
Sea level is rising because we are in the post Little Ice Age era now, And there is nothing alarming about it.

Do you yet understand that the Dr. admits humans have influenced the climate, completely the opposite of your entire position? So even the not-a-climate-scientist physicist disagrees with you.
This statement suggests that you believe Arctic ice extent is increasing.
This statement suggests that you believe worldwide extent is increasing. And you thought you had a "checkmate."
This statement suggests you cannot admit when you are wrong so you try to refocus the discussion away.
I wonder if you will be suspended for a month like I was for insulting people. I'm not holding my breath.
The land that is rising and the land that is subsiding is well documented. The land that is rising is where the glacial ice used to be during the last glaciation. When that ice melted, the compressed land beneath the ice rises like a sponge. There are several tide gauges that show falling sea levels in the northern latitudes due to this reason. Subsiding land shows faster than normal sea level rises. Geologically stable areas are the best places to use tide gauge data. And those stable areas indicate about a 1/2 foot per century sea level rise. We can handle that. Nothing alarming about it.
