President INQUA Com. on Sea Level Changes and Coastal Evolution (1999-2003)

ordinator INTAS project on Geomagnetism and Climate (1997-2003)
most Changes have Pros and Cons
Global Warming in particular
Therefore this is
the Only Real Threat
though, in fact,
Utterly Wrong !
?
the motivation behind sea level claims differs significantly
We have done very detailed sea level studis in
The Maldives
(doomed to be flooded in 50-100 years)
Bangladesh
(doomed to experience terrible disasters)
– sea is not rising, but stable
– it even fell a little some 40-50 years ago –
similar trends are recorded in India – and
the Maldives
Coastal Erosion !
Sea is Rising !
The IPCCers say
Coastal Erosion – yes
But – No Rise in Sea Level
