Fred Singer:
It seems clear that those pushing a response to the warming of the climate are pushing an agenda to give them greater control over people's lives and less freedom.
Sea level has risen about 400 feet since the last glacial maximum of ~18,000 years ago (see fig. below).Singer is a professor at the University of Virginia and director of the Science & Environmental Policy Project. Gore famously predicted that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013. He was wrong about that too.
Currently, sea level is rising at the rate of 1-2mm per year — and has been rising at that rate for the past several centuries.
At that rate, S.L. will be about six inches higher by 2100 — a long way from Al Gore's 2006 estimate of a 20-foot rise.
