Abstract:

Changes in sea level are a hot topic, and frequently addressed in present day media. The quality of statements is another thing. Doomsday statements of a rapidly rising sea are not anchored in observational facts. In this paper, a recent photography taken of the shore on Ouvéa Island in New Caledonia provides a unique insight to the entire problem. By naked eye anyone can see for him/her-self that sea is not in a rising mode, but stable or even falling 5 cm, or so. This notion fits perfectly well with other observations in the Pacific and Indian Ocean indicating no present rise in sea level.

Keywords:

Sea level changes, No rise on Ouvéa Island, Rotational eustasy
