  10. We continue our collaboration with #Gigafact, another non-profit with a specialized mission: provide impoverished newsrooms with brief, plain language #ClimateMythDebunkings ready to drop into news coverage.

    Here's the latest output, covering #SeaLevelRise.

    Sea level is fairly easy fodder for creating confusion; the behavior of sea level varies broadly depending on where on our #geoid one measures. A noisy signal but with a clear broad trend.

    Wieder was gelernt.
    Aber nicht ganz verstanden: liegt's am #Geoid, daß der mittlere #Meeresspiegel der Adria (Pegel Triest) so unterschiedlich ist?
    Und: werden mit steigendem Meeresspiegel die Berge immer "niedriger" (abgesehen von Eriosion und Tektonik)?
