It's behind a login so not readable for me now. http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2013/01/sea-level-rise-where-w... .. gives you another opinion relatted to the same science paper. The Australian is citing a corrected forecast of the Britain's Met Office to cast doubt on climate change. I have not the article at hand (it was in the newspaper I read on the aeroplane two days ago) but here is a similar article: http://www.thecommentator.com/article/2411/inconvenient_truths_met_office_bu... and this is the source http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/climate/seasonal-to-decadal/long-range/... and a clarification by the Met Office http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/news/releases/archive/2013/decadal-forecasts I love: (The Commentator): "The Met Office, which is part publicly funded, has a long history of incorrect projections and forecast in its over 150 year history. .. "Labour MP Graham Stringer .. said it should give up climate change forecasts as well as long-term predictions." I look at the map in the source, "Observations and five-year mean forecast from November 2007". Furthermore, the climate sceptics are using this source, and a forecast declared experimental by them, as evidence - while otherwise claiming that this source would be very unreliable. Regards Peter
