<p>The reason why alarmists are able to continue in that mode, is because they have difficulty with comprehension and logic. John Cook thinks he is being clever by pointing out that sea level is rising long term.</p>
<p>No one is disputing that fact. Sea level has been rising for more than 15,000 years. As <a href="https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2010/09/15/sins-of-omission/">I point out all the time</a>.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><em>The big lie : Tell them that sea level is rising. But don’t tell that sea level has been rising for at least 15,000 years.</em></p>

<p>The point of my article <a href="https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2010/10/01/sea-level-falling-in-2010/">Sea Level Falling In 2010</a> was &#8211; if Hansen&#8217;s claims about 2010 Arctic temperature and 3-6 metres sea level rise by 2100 were true, we shouldn&#8217;t be seeing a drop during 2010. Rather, we should be seeing a sharp rise. Somehow, Cook completely failed to comprehend what he was reading.</p>
<p>Sea level is rising much slower than Hansen&#8217;s numbers. John Cook should take the word &#8220;skeptic&#8221; off his web site, because he is not a  skeptic. He comes more in the category of <em>Pavlov&#8217;s Dog</em>.</p>
<p>Wouldn&#8217;t a real skeptic wonder about this?</p>
