Amusing. How about this?

Well I disagree. Sea levels are affected by many things, not just temperature. Taken on its own, sea levels are not a good indicator for global average temperature.

Nils‐Axel Mörner has a new paper out (his 589th). For 60 years he has been tracking the coastlines close to him, and carefully isolated the exact part which appears to be the most stable.

Sounds highly suspect to me.
So he measured sea level rise on the part of the coastline that showed the least rise? Is that it?

And he was measuring rise relative to Sweden - and area known to be rising due to rebound from the last ice age.
Why not measure global sea rise?
And why cherry pick your scientist? Are you so not confident that you are correct, that you have to be so disingenuous?

Google Translate gives you a clue, does it not? Easy to see if the guy is reliable or not.
I use translate whenever I want to read something in languages I don't know to read. Not to have an exact and faultless translation, but to have a clue what it is about.
English speaking people are not stupid, they know how to use it.

He claims tectonic shifts cause a false appearance of sea level rise. I think he is saying that land sinks rather than sea levels rise in certain locations and that alarmists are the true cherry pickers of data.

What does the ice age have to do with it? Be more specific.

Find something in English. Is that too hard for you? I have never given anyone on here links in a language other than English. Besides, the link you posted may not be a reliable source of information. If I posted a link in Korean would you be able to tell if it was not a pack of lies? Be reasonable.

Well he sounds like a fool.

The northern parts of Europe were covered in glaciers. After they melted the land has been slowly rebounding.

scientists, not being completely stupid as you make them out to be, obviously take into account tectonic shifts when they effect their measurements thus are not fooled by tectonic shifts. Tectonic shifts cannot possibly explain the thousands of independent measurements globally across the worlds oceans showing an overall global sea level rise thus global sea level rise is a scientific fact.

Finding something reliable about Nils‐Axel Mörner in English? You are joking!
Try yourself and see what you get...

Well, it was you who quoted him in the OP, why don't you quote people whose work is available in English?

probably because if their work is available in English then we will see either they don't support Metal Brain's science-ignorant beliefs or they are pseudo-scientific fools. After all, that is what we always find when he DOES quote people whose work is available in English!

People who said the Earth revolves around the sun sounded like fools at one time, so it doesn't mean anything. He might be wrong. I never said he was right. I even asked if he was wrong and by how much in my OP.

Still assuming I see. Why are you so ignorant that you let assumptions get ahead of common sense? Didn't you read my OP?

There are plenty of articles about him that are in English. Read and learn.
