Yet there's something unquestionably wrong with the seas.  According to a report I heard (I wish I could remember where  :-\ ) acidity levels are now greater than they have been for 500,000 years and are changing the marine environment quite drastically.

I hate articles that mix topics up like that one does. Nice bit of political s**te, not science there really.  Well what do you expect from the Telegraph?! (then again, what do you expect off any "news"paper).

I love this line: "The reason why Dr Mörner, formerly a Stockholm professor,".... why a former prof??

I'm skeptical about the analysis of the sea level data but I can't see how they won't rise - lots of ice melts = more water in ocean. Its pretty simple. Ice the size of anatartica melts = bye bye holland. I just don't get what's that hard to take in. Maybe the rate it is happening is not correct but if it does happen then surely that does mean disaster.
