Hide The Decline? Meet Fudge The Rising Sea Levels

The resemblance between Climate Change and Actual Science took another hit today. Sea levels might be rising, or since the researchers are doctoring the data, they might not.

The University of Colorado's Sea Level Research Group decided in May to add 0.3 millimeters -- or about the thickness of a fingernail -- every year to its actual measurements of sea levels, sparking criticism from experts who called it an attempt to exaggerate the effects of global warming.

Make that GloBULL Warming. They say that their fudge factor is needed because the land is rising too.

Steve Nerem, the director of the widely relied-upon research center, told FoxNews.com that his group added the 0.3 millimeters per year to the actual sea level measurements because land masses, still rebounding from the ice age, are rising and increasing the amount of water that oceans can hold.

But the land rising and the oceans getting bigger is a good thing, isn't it? The (possibly) rising sea stays hemmed in by bigger and bigger shores!

Plus, seeing as how we're probably entering into a mini ice age the land might "rebound" even more!

Hide the decline. Hide the rise. I always thought that when the data didn't match the science it was time for new science. Silly me. Global Warming isn't science, it's religion.
