Al Gore got it wrong on sea level rise

Fred Singer:
Sea level has risen about 400 feet since the last glacial maximum of ~18,000 years ago (see fig. below).

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.
...
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.

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.
