Sea level and the carbonate sand factory of South Australia

via Current News – Principia Scientific Internationalhttp://principia-scientific.org

Abstract: Stable parts of the South Australia coast show that the last interglacial sea level was 2 m higher than present, but elsewhere there has been relative subsidence up to 7 m and uplift of 18 m. Estimates of changing sea level, and future projections, should state the time period involved and the tectonic background to be of any use.
The coast contains ‘carbonate sand factories’ where…

I don’t know much about science, and even less about climate science. So as a practical matter, I like to side with the majority of scientists until they change their collective minds. They might be wrong, but their guess is probably better than mine.
That said, it is mind-boggling to me that the scientific community can’t make a case for climate science that sounds convincing, even to some of…

When the Romans built Pevensey Castle in southeast England 1,700 years ago, it was nearly surrounded by ocean and had a natural moat. Same story when the Normans occupied it during the Medieval Warm Period.
