A new post containing a cartoon from Josh will appear every hour. At the end of the 24 hours, everything will be collated on a single page. Readers are encouraged to post skeptical arguments below, as well as offer comments on what has been seen from the Climate Reality Project so far.

Sea level! Yes that’s it. Sea level rise is a primary indicator of global warming! Let’s have a look.
Here’s the graph from NASA, and their press release calling it a “speed bump”:
Part of the reason is that Global Ocean Heat Content Is Still Flat, and thus the oceans aren’t seeing any thermal expansion leading to sea level rise.
And that creates another problem – the climate models don’t work right then:
Oh and if you really want to get freaked out…look at this picture:
Then read this:
Freaking out about NYC sea level rise is easy to do when you don’t pay attention to history

Josh put a lot of work into these, so if you like the work, drop by the tip jar. Unlike Gore’s CRP, he won’t spam you asking for more. Buy him a beer, he’s worked a long time bringing us enjoyment with only some “attaboys” sent his way.
Elmer, thank you, thank you, thank you, I hadn’t heard Minnesotans for Climate Change(m4gw) before but shall be spreading the songs from now on.
“Speed bump” must mean “on hiatus on account of cold ocean.
“Earlier this year, scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego found that while sea levels rose around the globe, they were on hiatus on the U.S. West Coast for the last three decades because of a pattern of cold surface waters.”
“But that trend may be reversing, the study found, and an era of accelerated sea-level rise could begin this decade.”

“Imagine Winston, a giant fingernail going across a blackboard for all of eternity…..”
This reversal in sea level rise to a fall over the past year indicates that for the first time in quite some time, the rate of ice accumulation on land(glaciers, etc.) is exceeding the melt-be interesting to see if this continues.
My computer models suggest the oceans will be entirely gone by 2100.
