I've been invited to speak at the 9th International Conference on Climate Change, sponsored by the Heartland Institute. Its in Las Vegas in July. The speakers list is now available and also a draft schedule. It looks like I will be speaking in a session with Dr Nils-Axel Morner from Stockholm University. I followed a link to his presentation on sea-level rise and fall given at the conference last year in Munich. It's informative and entertaining...
Interesting that Kennewick man was mentioned. I have a life-long interest in ancient peoples and have found some interesting , relevant to the topic, theories about early migrations.
Hopi creation myths have been interpreted by some as having them walk to America from the Pacific.
Kennewick man's closest cranial matches are NZ Moriori and Japanese Ainu. NZ Maori also have genetic ties to indigenous Japanese and Taiwanese people.
There is a lot more to it , but walking to America would have been much more possible back then.
Much we may never know because of the vested interests of " discovery time natives " Who for some reason seem to think any ancient people will affect their land rights.
This applies to more places than USA.
Another recent SLR study using GRACE satellite data shows that recent SLR is about 1.7mm a year or about 6.8 inches or 17cm in the next 100 years.
This just confirms the latest PR tidal gauge studies. So how much longer can they keep misleading the public about dangerous SLR by 2100? And what is wrong with MSM journos?

A very good post on so called dangerous climate change caused by human emissions of co2.

Greenland is always quoted as THE big future problem and will drive dangerous SLR. But the Chylek et al 2006 study found that the 1920 to 1930 warming rate in Greenland was 50% higher than 1995 to 2005 warming.
So the warming rate was higher at low co2 levels yet 50% lower 45 years after 1950. So much for enhanced warming from higher co2 levels.

Little trust for Obama's latest report on CAGW. Geeezzzzzzz what a surprise I would never have guessed. SARC.

Global sea ice continues to grow and Antarctica is setting new records AGAIN.

The govt is to scrap the clueless ARENA in tomorrow's budget. Good, but there may be a real battle from the Labor and Green morons in the senate.

Hey John.
Thank you very much for that amazing information.
My attempt to stay 'on topic' with melting ice & sea level rise leads to a most controversial topic.
And most interesting. And the bonus of someone involved!
The mystery Kennewick man reminds me of the myth of Quetzalcoatl, ignoring timescales.
I'm sure you are aware -
"On the other hand, according to some historians, the representations of Quetzalcoatl depict him as a tall and bearded white male. That’s why it is assured that this notable personage may have been, in fact, genuine: a Viking who reached the shores of the Gulf of Mexico to later become the god of the Toltecs, because of all the new knowledge that he instilled.
The most remarkable thing about this story is that it was precisely because of these physical characteristics and the golden glow of his armor and clothing, that the Spanish conquistador, Hernan Cortes, was mistaken for this god."

But, to get on-topic for Ms J, here is a link to notrickszone post, and reference to one of her fellow speakers:
Sebastian Lüning will be one of the speakers at the upcoming 9th International Conference on Climate Change in Las Vegas July 7-9. See following 30-second video for more information:

Here is the 2012 Hannah et al SLR study showing four NZ ports. It shows that SLR is 1.7mm a year and thats 17cm by 2114 or 6.8 inches. That's 14.6 cm by 2100 or 5.8 inches.
Port Denison (Sydney) has been rising at 1.1mm year from 1940 to 2000. And that's 11cm by 2114 or 4.4 inches. That's 9.5cm by 2100 or 3.8 inches.
Biggggg difference to Gore and Hansen's 6 metres ( Pearman as well???) or Flannerys 8 metres or ABC Science Guru William's 100 metres.
Gore and H estimate is 60 mm a year or about 35 times the current rate. Flannery is about 59 times and ABC's Robyn Williams is about 588 times the current rate. That's using the 1.7mm year from NZ study not the 1.1mm year from Sydney.
But boy have they got some catching up to do. I think the Bolter should ask Robyn back for another interview and find out if he's changed his mind? Probably not, but that 1000mm a year estimate is a record. Certainly the type of science advisor that's well suited to advise their ABC.
Here's the NZ 2012 study. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2011JC007591/pdf
