Here's an interesting study from sourrces at Standford University exposing the CO2 Climate hoax conspiracy
So much for what is often claimed to be science and scientific ... in reality being a ideology religion conspiracy.

1) The article to which you provided a link, Wolfgang, says nothing about "ideology," or "religion," or "conspiracy." Such terms present your partisan political views, but not an accurate summary of the article's content.
2) As was the case with the content of your previous post on the subject of climate change, I have neither the experience nor the expertise to evaluate the content of this new article. For the assessment of someone who DOES have such expertise, review this Youtube video:
3) No one claims that the climate science community is aligned 100% behind the theory of anthropogenic climate change; current estimations put that alignment at 95-98%. But it's also the case that no one claims 100% alignment is necessary before anthropogenic climate change is more than an "ideology religion conspiracy" - whatever that is - and is in fact the accepted explanation for our warming earth.
4) WHATEVER THE CAUSE, the earth IS warming, and such warming WILL have dire consequences.

I would say that a global cooling would have far more dire consequences ... as ice age periods indicated when compared to warmer periods.
The whole man-made global heating up and man-made climate change is a bunch of non-scientific ideological (climate religion) hoax and indeed conspiracy.

Regardless of the accuracy of your unsubstantiated claim, the fact is the earth is warming, not cooling.

This unsubstantiated (aka, baseless) claim distracts from the reality of a warming earth. I encourage you to consult reputable sources of information about the evidence of a warming earth (Google the glacier loss in Greenland, which is occurring at a frightening rate).
With due respect, Wolfgang, your posts on issues of public policy continue to demonstrate your pattern of making claims that you can't (at least almost never choose to) substantiate. For a person such as I, whose high school debate experience pounded home the aphorism, "If you make a claim, you'd better be able to back it up; and if you can't back it up, you'd better not make it," your pattern is highly unsatisfying. In my view, absent significant amounts of supporting evidence, there is and can be nothing persuasive about tabloid-worthy allegations such as of a "non-scientific ideological (climate religion) hoax and indeed conspiracy."

The point is a warming of the earth is NOT BAD .... a cooling would be!

Actually, I just saw a picture and read a report about some Norwegian ship getting stuck in large ice near Spitzbergen ... showing that things are sort of the opposite of what the climate researchers on board were intending to find ...
My simple reason for writing the way I do about these matters is that the outrageous lies and nonsensical (make no good sense) claims propagated do not deserve anything else. I don't care what supposed science or political correctness or similar propagates when it makes no real sense and with just a little common sense thought is revealed to be fear tactic and a means to squeeze more money out of the large number of common folks into the pockets of a small number of deceivers.

I don't have much choice on how to word this response, Wolfgang: If you're not aware of the VERY serious consequences of a warming earth, you're not well informed.
Actually, I just saw a picture and read a report about some Norwegian ship getting stuck in large ice near Spitzbergen ... showing that things are sort of the opposite of what the climate researchers on board were intending to find ...
Here you make the mistake lots of climate change deniers make. I call it globalizing the local.
On cool summer days or very cold winter days, a local radio talk show host here often will assert that our local conditions prove there is no global warming. His mistake - and the mistake your example reflects - is that what's happening in one location does NOT necessarily reflect what's going on globally.
- The fact that the sun is shining where I am right now does NOT mean it's shining everywhere on earth.
- The fact that's cold or hot or moderate where you live right now does NOT mean every location on earth has your location's weather conditions.
- The fact that a Norwegian ship got stuck in ice does NOT mean similar conditions exist around the globe. In the case of the ship to which I think you're referring, note that an article reporting the ship's difficulty begins with this paragraph (emphasis added), "There are 35 % less ice in the whole Arctic Ocean than usual (a term that will most likely have to be re-defined soon), but in Svalbard, ice conditions are more as they used to be in earlier years. This means that northeastern parts of Nordaustland did not become ice-free at all this summer, and there is drift ice in southern Hinlopen Strait and south of Nordaustland." Translation: "Global" conditions in the Arctic have been warm enough to reduce the TOTAL amount of ice in the area overall by one-third. BUT in particular localities such as the town called Svalbard, conditions have not changed.... The local does NOT necessarily define the global.
My simple reason for writing the way I do about these matters is that the outrageous lies and nonsensical (make no good sense) claims propagated do not deserve anything else. I don't care what supposed science or political correctness or similar propagates when it makes no real sense and with just a little common sense thought is revealed to be fear tactic and a means to squeeze more money out of the large number of common folks into the pockets of a small number of deceivers.
So you defend your practice of making baseless, unsubstantiated assertions of fact with a paragraph of new baseless, unsubstantiated assertions of fact. With due respect, Wolfgang, I'm not impressed, AND NEITHER WOULD YOU BE were someone in a Christology thread to make assertions of fact that he or she was unwilling to substantiate on the grounds of his or her belief in the existence of "pockets of a small number of deceivers" in the CD forums who reject the Trinity.

I don't compare a discussion regarding a Biblical topic with Biblical text as plain fact and evidence available to all participants with "climate change" or "global warming" propaganda that is not as plain fact evidence as the loudest voices want to make it in order to propagate an ideology rather than fact based evidence .... perhaps in Germany "climate saver" things have further infiltrated politics and economy than is the case in the USA .... some of what already can be seen as plain evidence is destruction of industries, total non-sense "CO2 / climate goals" which cost billions and more for adherence to an ideology rather than sound thinking and a true evaluation of facts from various sides ... instead, the non-adherents to the climate hoax are deemed "stupid non-informed" or "non-scientific", and those scientist voices showing revealing the hoax and falseness of computer model climate predictions are demonized as being "a small minority not real scientists"
For me, plain common sense with reason and logic is weightier than what a majority of folks propagate as "truth". The same CO2 which is - at least in Germany - heating up the globe was deemed to be responsible for cooling the globe in the 1970s. The preachers of climate change are brainwashing Germany's school students to officially skip school on Fridays to demonstrate against CO2 sinners, climate destroyers etc ...and politicians including the president and the chancellor applaud them when in fact skipping school in Germany is a violation of law !! Stupidity is already reigning supreme ... in plain sight !! And if one voices such, one is thrown into the "Nazi" corner, "conspiracy theorist" drawer, and defamed as "ignorant who is unwilling to believe the ms media.

For me, climate change is a matter of science and science fact (science "facts" are not the same as other kinds of facts, as I'm sure you know). For you, according to the content of your post, climate change seems to be a hybrid product of science, politics, economics, industrialization, common sense, the educational system, government leaders, conspiracy theories, and media outlets. I choose to stay with climate change as a matter of science and science fact.
For me, plain common sense with reason and logic is weightier than what a majority of folks propagate as "truth".
I asked you this question in another thread, but you chose not to address it. In the context of your latest post, I try again:
What do "plain common sense with reason and logic" tell you to make of the following graph of global land and ocean temperature changes over the last 140 years, especially the basic trajectory of the trend line from 1910 to the present?
And I am STILL waiting for you to respond to the request I first posted more than a week ago in THIS POST: Your claim was that the science community is "quite divided" on the issue of climate change, a description that suggests the existence of a significant percentage of the scientific community that dispute the reality of climate change. Please provide a link to a peer-reviewed study that proves your point.
If you don't intend to demonstrate the truth of your claim, please say so, Wolfgang, and I'll stop asking about that one. But I'm not likely to stop asking you to back up future assertions of fact. Truth deserves evidence, so I will continue to ask for it, even if you're not likely to offer it.

and what does human produced CO2 supposedly have to do with such a graph?
Here's an article with some simple to understand information concerning amount of CO2 overall in the air, influence it has, etc. ... also, some easy to understand information concerning the so-called greenhouse effect etc ....
Unfortunately, the article is in German ... and I do not have the time to translate it into English, sorry.
By the way, the "climate ideology" icon Greta Thunberg from Sweden is currently visiting in the USA :.. just yesterday conducted one of her "Fridays for Future" demonstrations not far from the White house in Washington. After she - or more accurately, the propaganda machinery behind the scene using her - has reached out in Europe and influenced politicians to no end, they are turning to the USA ...... but as she stated recently, there is a big difference between Europe and USA => In USA, the climate controversy is viewed as an ideology, in Europe the people's perception is to think of it as science based. Little does she realize that her statement is revealing, as her propaganda in reality is to push an ideology, and Europeans at large are duped into thinking of it as "scientifc" (due to politicians and ms media behind it), while such brainwashing process apparently has not taken root in the USA.

Compare the general trajectory of that graph of global temperature changes since about 1910...
to the general trajectory of global CO2 emissions since about that year in this graph:
I see correlation. Do you?
The remaining question is what could cause such a great rise in CO2 emissions over the last century-plus? Human activity in the form of automobiles, industrialization, and other forms of economic expansion/revolution come first to my mind. What comes first to yours?

An article written in a language I don't speak cannot for me be "easy to understand."\

As I reported in an earlier post, for me climate change is a matter of science. Hence, your commentary about Ms. Thunberg and what you call "the propaganda machine behind the scene(s)" does not prompt me to respond.
...............................................
And I think it's now fair for me to conclude that you have no intention of acknowledging, let alone fulfilling, the request I have now made of you four times in the last ten days - that you provide a link to a peer-reviewed study that demonstrates the truth of your claim that the scientific community is "quite divided" on the issue of anthropogenic climate change. I will ask no more.
For reasons that have never been clear to me, Wolfgang, over our years together in the CD forums, on several occasions you have chosen not even to acknowledge, let alone respond to, several questions or requests for information I have posted to you. One example I recall had to do with the effect of melting glaciers on sea levels and global temperatures. I bet I asked you to respond five to ten times over a several months period, but not once did you so much as mention my requests. I find your recurring practice of completely ignoring questions or requests to be impolite - to be kind - and disrespectful - to be more blunt. I encourage you to rethink your approach to questions and requests to which you don't want to respond. At least have the courtesy to inform the other poster that you do not intend to respond.

As I have mentioned before, I consider common sense, reason and logic to be instrumental to distinguish truth and error, including to determine what graphs and scientific data supposedly tell and actually tell ... interpretation of data is what matters.
The climate propaganda of practical politics is in getting the people at large to become fearful and to have the masses demand more security. This is achieved by endless counts of bugaboos, all freely invented fantasy stories. Various sources show that humans only contribute between 2-4 % of the Co2, the by far largest part of rise in CO2 is totally outside of man's control and can not be influenced by man.
Below find a graph about average temperatures in Greenland ... notice, during the 1920s -1930s the temperatures there were higher than they have been in more recent years. Were there severe floodings due to higher ocean water levels during those decades because glaciers in Greenland were in recess? Was Manhattan under water then ?
Ever thought about why the vikings when they reached Greenland during the middle ages called it GREENland and not something more frosty, icy or something like "glacierland" ??? Simple answer => it was a green land, because during the middle ages period there was a longer period of time where the northern hemisphere was quite a but warmer than even today! This is also easily seen from records and statement of the time here in Europe and Germany, where - for example - the growing of vineyards and harvesting of wine is mentioned in areas much further north than is possible today.
How can that be? Perhaps those knights in the middle ages with their industries and horse drawn mobility produced more CO2 than man does today ??? Then there was an "horsemobile decline, industries collapsed and things got "better" (= colder) ???
There is not much to explain to learn and know what's really going on nowadays (in particular since a certain "pope" A. Gore lost a presidential election but found another way of implementing the agenda he was meant to push and achieve ???

Some basic physics and CO2
For some reason, it seems that even scientists have forgotten or purposely ignore that there are certain elements and things that are heavier than air and others that are lighter .... Folks my age in Germany were taught such as part of the general school education and received practical illustration lessons when we got to blow up a balloon with our own "air" and our teacher blew up a balloon with helium and then all watched the result => the helium balloon went up, our balloons went down. Hmn ... was it the teacher's "magic" that kept our balloons from rising or some simple physics law ?
The true answer is obvious ... helium has a molar weight of 4, the air above earth surface of 29. Elements heavier than air fall down, others which are lighter rise.
CO2 has a molar weight of 44, the surrounding air one of 29, thus CO2 is heaver than air, and for example can be collected in silos. This physical fact means that CO2 will always (!) "fall down to" and "collect at" the ground or other surface, thus it can provide plant growth. Such would not be possible if CO2 rose in the air. Thus, the whole talk about CO2 forming some kind of shield at a high altitude that causes a greenhouse effect is nonsense.
By the way, what causes the greenhouse effect in a greenhouse is not the CO2 level inside the greenhouse, but the glas enclosure in connection with the heat provided by the sun !! The higher temperature in the greenhouse in comparison to the surrounding air has nothing to do with CO2 inside the greenhouse, but with the sun and the warmth the sun provides in cooperation with the glas enclosure ... greenhouses cool down at night without the sun providing heat, they cool down in winter when the sun is less effective ... which is the reason why gardeners put heating in their greenhouses if they use it year round. If CO2 was rising (as presupposed by modern day climateers) plants in a greenhouse would not quite grow as nicely since they depend on CO2 as integral part of their nutrition
Such simple physics facts and consequences became clouded and shrouded toward the turn of the century, when a "CO2 shield greenhouse" ideology replaced scientific research and those critics propagating the plain physics laws showing the erroneous interpretation patters of the human made climate change became just another group of "conspiracy theorists".

The absolute percentage of human activity's contribution to global CO2 emissions isn't telling because while the bulk of global emissions ARE from natural sources, much of those are emitted and reabsorbed in natural biological processes. Emissions from human activity ADD to the baseline amount of greenhouse gases, the amount that is ALWAYS present, even with those natural processes. Basically, human-created greenhouse gasses do not re-absorb because there's no room for them to reabsorb, which means they accumulate. That's why NOAA says "Prior to the industrial revolution, concentrations [of greenhouse gasses] were fairly stable at 280ppm. Today, they are around 370ppm, an increase of well over 30 percent."

The conditions and time frame to which you refer are known as the "Medieval Warm Period." The difference between those years and the current ones is that we know what caused THAT warming - namely, increased solar activity, less volcanic activity, and changes in ocean circulation patterns - is NOT what's causing today's warming.
As for your graph of temperatures in Greenland, remember that what happens LOCALLY does not necessarily report what's happening GLOBALLY. Just because it's cloudy where I am today, does NOT mean it's cloudy where you are. Just because Greenland hasn't warmed steadily over the last century does NOT mean the earth hasn't warmed steadily GLOBALLY over the last century. There's a meaningful difference between LOCAL and GLOBAL conditions.

Thus, the whole talk about CO2 forming some kind of shield at a high altitude that causes a greenhouse effect is nonsense.
If you're right about CO2 falling to the ground, how can we humans breathe? Why isn't the atmosphere around our noses filled with a toxic, or at least a harmful, concentration of CO2? The answer is CO2 does NOT all fall to the ground, thanks to thermal currents (think wind and other convective processes) The CO2 that's not absorbed by oceans, plants, et al rises through those processes then disperses at higher levels, leading to a greenhouse "blanket" effect. Your claim that such a "shield" is "nonsense" is false and baseless.

AND SO, what do "common sense, reason, and logic" tell you that explains the obvious correlation between the rise of global CO2 emissions and global temperature rises since 1910 evidenced in the two graphs I presented in my last post?
The amounts shown in the graph show how irrelevant overall the supposed addition/rise is when compared to overall CO2 content in the air .... misleading for the purpose of propaganda of a point which otherwise is not of relevance (illustration: if I made a graph showing the rise of temperature in a human body from 36°-37°C, I could make it look as if the temperature rise presented big danger from high fever or I could show that it actually doesn't mean any danger because the values are still what is in normal range ...)

The difference between those years and the current ones is that we know what caused THAT warming - namely, increased solar activity, less volcanic activity, and changes in ocean circulation patterns - is NOT what's causing today's warming.
And the same sun with its activities is what is exercising its influence on the change between warm or cold periods now ... man is NOT able to effect a change of such periods and the global climate ... it's very simple.
As for your graph of temperatures in Greenland, remember that what happens LOCALLY does not necessarily report what's happening GLOBALLY.

Well then, why do the climate ideologists show pics of arctic or antarctic areas as indicative of global climate change / global warming? IF indeed humans with their CO2 emissions cause a climate warming, why should arctic regions or Antarctica with basically no human population show a temperature rise causing arctic ice melting ?
If you're right about CO2 falling to the ground, how can we humans breathe? Why isn't the atmosphere around our noses filled with a toxic, or at least a harmful, concentration of CO2?
CO2 is not a toxic gas ... humans do not breathe in CO2, but breathe out CO2 ... The air does contain CO2, and CO2 is heavier than air and thus settles, providing green plants with needed ingredient to grow.
The answer is CO2 does NOT all fall to the ground, thanks to thermal currents (think wind and other convective processes) The CO2 that's not absorbed by oceans, plants, et al rises through those processes then disperses at higher levels, leading to a greenhouse "blanket" effect. Your claim that such a "shield" is "nonsense" is false and baseless.
Indeed ... see above. However, the amount of CO2 in the air overall and in particular the very small amount that is produced by man does not form some "shield" around the globe which would produce a greenhouse effect. Even on a small scale, a greenhouse temperature is NOT warmed by CO2 influence ...but by sun influence

1) I asked you how "common sense" et al explain the correlation between global CO2 emissions and global temperature changes evident in the two graphs. Telling me that the amounts shown in the graphs are "irrelevant" does nothing to explain the correlation.
2) I encourage you to review the science of the "relevance" and consequence of each degree of global temperature increase.
3) Note the increasing slope of the temperature graph in recent decades, which means the rate of change in global temperatures is higher now than in past decades.
And the same sun with its activities is what is exercising its influence on the change between warm or cold periods now ... man is NOT able to effect a change of such periods and the global climate ... it's very simple.
As I reported in my response and you will verify when you review the science of the Medieval Warm Period, we know that the kind of solar activity that was behind that warming period is NOT going on now.
Your response dramatically understates the effect of greenhouse gases. I don't know whether that's "very simple," but I know it's true.
Well then, why do the climate ideologists show pics of arctic or antarctic areas as indicative of global climate change / global warming? IF indeed humans with their CO2 emissions cause a climate warming, why should arctic regions or Antarctica with basically no human population show a temperature rise causing arctic ice melting ?
Your statements read as if you believe human activity affects ONLY the parts of the globe directly above areas of the globe populated by humans. Therefore, since the Arctic circle is sparsely populated, it will show very little effects of climate change. That's not how the earth functions. Consider the oceans. VERY, VERY sparsely populated, yet their temperatures continue to rise in part due to human activity's role in climate change.
Climate influences - pressure gradients, wind patterns, etc - are NOT constrained by national borders or population density maps.
CO2 is not a toxic gas ... humans do not breathe in CO2, but breathe out CO2 ... The air does contain CO2, and CO2 is heavier than air and thus settles, providing green plants with needed ingredient to grow.
Of course humans can breathe in CO2 (ever breathed into a paper bag?)
As for its toxicity, I acknowledge that CO2 is not a toxic gas, but overexposure to it CAN be dangerous. Review the causes and consequences of hypercapnia.
Indeed ... see above. However, the amount of CO2 in the air overall and in particular the very small amount that is produced by man does not form some "shield" around the globe which would produce a greenhouse effect. Even on a small scale, a greenhouse temperature is NOT warmed by CO2 influence ...but by sun influence
I encourage you to review the science of greenhouse gases. Such gases allow short wave energy (sunlight) through to the earth, but then absorb longer-wave heat such as that radiated back from the surface of the earth, in the process creating a greenhouse effect. There is basically no scientific dispute about the behavior and effects of greenhouse gas accumulation. As the Britannica article to which I offer a link makes clear, human activity increases the total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere beyond the ability of natural processes (called "sinks") to absorb it, thereby creating a greenhouse.
For additional information about planetary greenhouse effects, review the climatological history of the planet Venus.

The article to which you provided a link, Wolfgang, reports a court's resolution of a defamation lawsuit in favor of an opponent a respected climate scientist. What the article does NOT do is address in any substantive manner either the issue of climate change or how the end of a defamation lawsuit is of any scientific consequence.
In June of this year, the VERY SAME climate scientist who lost the case that is the focus of the article to which you linked, Michael Mann, received a formal apology from the Winnipeg, Canada-based Frontier Center for Public Policy, a climate change denying group which Mann had sued for defamation. The Center formally apologized and removed disparaging content about Mann from its website. In its retraction/apology, the group's CEO wrote...
"Although The Frontier Centre for Public Policy still does not see eye to eye with Dr. Mann on the subject of global warming and climate change, we now accept that it was wrong to publish allegations by others that Dr. Mann did not comply with ethical standards and wrong to suggest that Dr. Mann was guilty of any dishonesty concerning his 1998 and 1999 research which produced the so-called “hockey-stick” temperature graph."
So Dr. Mann (basically) won a defamation case against climate change deniers before he lost one. Did the case he won advance the cause of climate change advocates in ANY scientific way? Of course not. Did the case he lost push back the cause of climate change advocates in ANY scientific way? Of course not.
The article to which you provided a link makes a few baseless and unfounded claims about the data Mann and other scientists use, but basically it's a tabloid-worthy and essentially irrelevant report about the disposition of a lawsuit.

WOW ... the German state TV station ZDF (Second German TV) reported another UN promoted climate story which already also has been picked up by main print media => It suggests the next chapter in the Climate-Change-Apocalypse has now been opened. The supposed record heat causes polar ice caps to melt, ocean sea levels rise, etc ... You would be well advised to go buy a rubber boat and life jacket so that you won't drown .. or perhaps move at least to the Appalachian mountains ( better yet, the Rockies) where you can then safely sit and let your feet cool a bit in the water.
Hysterical out breaks seem to no longer know any limits. The climate catastrophe news are being published with accelarating speed, the noticeable increase in reports and stories in the respective news media is in fullswing supposedly showing how catastrophic the climate change will be, how terrible the man made global warming turns out to be, all such has a rather very simple reason:
Time is running out for the climate change profiteers.
Not only did the over heating of the earth prophesied by them not come about, not only do the polar ice caps just not melt, not only do the ocean sea levels not rise at the propagated speed because people on earth emit CO2 into the atmosphere ... but there is a small ice-age on the horizon, as is regularly connected to a solar minimum.
Ocean levels have risen 4 millimeters in 5 years ... but according to climate hysteria specialists in 10 years the sea levels could rise 3 feet or more and cause severe problems to wherever they think may be the case. Now, if children were still taught reasonable and logical thinking in school - instead of being brainwashed by big media propaganda, they should be able to immediately recognize the stupidity of such climate hoaxer propaganda ... designed only for generating lots of cash from the masses of non-thinking people into the pockets of the comparatively few manipulators.

Because facts matter....
According to THIS FEBRUARY 2018 NASA PRESS RELEASE, as of the beginning of last year, global sea levels were increasing at a rate of 3.4 mm per year since 1993. It is therefore not possible that sea levels have only increased 4 mm in the last five years. In fact, according to the graph in the upper right corner of THIS NASA WEBPAGE, from April 2014 to May 2019 - a month more than five years - global sea levels rose approximately 25 mm.
To add to the challenge we face, as the NASA release makes clear, the rate of sea level rise is increasing over time (said rate has increased by more than 1/3 in the last 20-25 years).
From my CD interactions with you on the subject of climate change over the years, Wolfgang, I have concluded that you won't be dissuaded from your climate change denial views; so be it. But I hope you will be dissuaded from your objectively false claim that sea levels have risen just 4 mm in the last five years.

there will have to be other than the unreasonable and illogical information to persuade me .... I just do't see truth in man playing God and being able to influence the global climate ... and most certainly not by reducing CO2 emissions by using bicycles instead of cars, getting electricity from wind mills and solar panels when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine, etc etc etc ,,,,
I happen to have experienced in my life very same thing in regards to religious ideology that I now see propagated in regards to climate change ideas .... in the 1970ies, there was the propaganda of fear of a new ice age coming caused by human influence and CO2 emissions, and about 40 years later that same human produced CO2 now is the cause for global warming ... my simple take? => throw the propaganda ideas into the trash bins if human ideology non-sense, for neither idea is anywhere showing itself to be worthy of any other action.

As I indicated in my previous post, I have concluded that you will not be dissuaded from your climate change denial views; so be it. HOWEVER, I also indicated in my previous post that I hope you WILL be dissuaded from your objectively false assertion that sea levels have risen just 4 mm in the last five years. Do you acknowledge that your assertion was objectively incorrect, that the data show an approximately 25 mm rise in sea levels in the last five years? If not, please provide a link to the data source which substantiates your claim.

The point is the rise is so minimal that it actually can hardly be even really measured accurately ... I have been at ocean shores as well as at harbor walls with measuring scales and know better than to believe such loony tunes talk of sea levels rising a few mm and concluding that the hystericalists with their ideas of the east coast going under

First, you didn't answer my question: Do you acknowledge that your claim of a 4 mm rise in sea levels in the last five years was objectively inaccurate, that the data show an increase of approximately 25 mm over that time frame? If not, then please provide a link to the data source at which you found the 4 mm number you posted. (And if you believe levels "can hardly be even really measured accurately," why did you assert a 4 mm rise in your previous post at all?)
From your latest post, it doesn't seem that you have done much, if any, reading on the impact of rises in global sea levels. As an article on the National Geographic website puts it:
When sea levels rise as rapidly as they have been, even a small increase can have devastating effects on coastal habitats farther inland, it can cause destructive erosion, wetland flooding, aquifer and agricultural soil contamination with salt, and lost habitat for fish, birds, and plants.
Higher sea levels are coinciding with more dangerous hurricanes and typhoons that move more slowly and drop more rain, contributing to more powerful storm surges that can strip away everything in their path. One study found that between 1963 and 2012, almost half of all deaths from Atlantic hurricanes were caused by storm surges.
Already, flooding in low-lying coastal areas is forcing people to migrate to higher ground, and millions more are vulnerable from flood risk and other climate change effects. The prospect of higher coastal water levels threatens basic services such as Internet access, since much of the underlying communications infrastructure lies in the path of rising seas.
Those are serious impacts, not "looney tunes talk." But my point is not to argue climate change with you; that's bad time stewardship, at least for me. Instead, I repeat my request for a direct response to my question about your claim of a 4 mm rise in sea levels in the last five years. Wasn't that claim objectively inaccurate? If not, please provide a link that backs it up.

I read it in an article on a German website ... just as you read what you quoted from a different source.

This is "loony tunes poetry" ... because in such small increase over a decade or a few decades there will NOT be such effects farther inland, and not even at the coast. For starters, thee since the early 1990ies has NOT produced such results!

One study found that between 1963 and 2012, almost half of all deaths from Atlantic hurricanes were caused by storm surges.
And all that alreay decades BEFORE there was any "climate change" and "global warming" around ... as a matter of fact, there were such storms and hurricanes and flood surges when it was a few °C/F colder or a few °C/F warmer as is now.
Already, flooding in low-lying coastal areas is forcing people to migrate to higher ground, and millions more are vulnerable from flood risk and other climate change effects. The prospect of higher coastal water levels threatens basic services such as Internet access, since much of the underlying communications infrastructure lies in the path of rising seas.
This straight forward fear hysterics propaganda ... The Dutch may as well start planning to find new higher ground on the European continental seeing that large parts of their country are already has been and still is located below sea level .... 😀

Have a look at the person currently staged at the head of the climate change movement (ideology) .... she gave a speech at the UN yesterday. Just listen ... and find the expertise or if you can't find any, recognize the ideology preaching ...
I trust you can recognize the evil at work behind the scenes .....already in the introduction: "you have influenced millions of children all over the world to demonstrate for fight against climate change ...." ?? Yeah .... follow her example of quiting or skipping school to enjoy a free day on the street ;-) Yes, she should be in school on the other side of the ocean instead of playing the "climate pope" for the powers behind her!!
Look carefully and listen to how she speaks ... reminds me of someone speaking through them ... what comes out is not the natural mind and character of a 16 year old girl ...

I'm running low on time, so will respond at greater length later. For the moment, please provide a link to the German website on which you read the article that included the 4 mm in five years sea level rise claim. I will use Google translate to find the claim and the author's source.

I'm running out of time too ... and - perhaps unfortunately - I do not bookmark or write down the url of websites I am browsing while reading some article, in particular if an article is linked from another site, etc ....
Now, instead of harping on the 4mm in 5 years, I'd suggest to give some more common sense consideration the various loony tunes arguments made by climate change hystericals such as claim a minimal mm rise per year in sea levels and then make claims of a catastrophic nature.
You know, I detected some ants underbeath a side stone wall of our more than a century old house ... I could now listen to someone predict those ants will take down our house in the next 10 years and become frantically hysterical about ants and the terrible danger they are to buildings. Or I could take a look and let those ants run around while its warm and think reasonably and logically and know that they won't bring down the house and the predication made by that "ant experrt" is indeed "loony tunes".

I asked for a link to the article written in German because I know of no reason to believe that anyone in any position to know has ever published a 4 mm rise in global sea levels over the last five years. Such a rate, as any objective review of the data shows, is blatantly wrong.
Now, instead of harping on the 4mm in 5 years, I'd suggest to give some more common sense consideration the various loony tunes arguments made by climate change hystericals such as claim a minimal mm rise per year in sea levels and then make claims of a catastrophic nature.
YOU'RE the one one who brought the 4mm in five year rate into our discussion, Wolfgang. I simply asked you to provide a link so I could review its source. In my view, that's not "harping."
But there's a larger point here. Climate change conversations must be rooted in facts. If sea levels ARE rising at ~3.4mm/year AND the rate of their rise is increasing (and they are) then that's a VERY DIFFERENT state of play than is reported by the 4mm/five years rate you included in a previous post. A key difference between our respective contentions is that I have provided links to reputable sources for mine, while for your contention you credit an unknown site for which you're apparently unwilling to search. Which of those approaches to backing up our contentions is more "looney tunes"?
As for the impact of sea level rises, I encourage you - I plead with you - to investigate the matter further, using the best - NOT the most partisan - sources of scientific information available. The FACT is that sea level rises of the magnitude reported by the current data WILL have serious implications, and in the lifetimes of our children and grandchildren. (FWIW, that's not "harping" either.)

here are a few websites with info concerning sea levels and what some folks interpret
Also, the general truth concerning the matter does not depend on 4mm in 5 years, 4mm in one year, etc ... just as it really doesn't matter whether there 250 ants underneath the wall of our house or 3000
And here something else which may shed some light
I hope your Google translator will not collapse and produce nonsense 😉

An article from 2013 with info on the Maledives .... they are still there despite serious climate hysterical warnings that they will be disappearing in the Indian ocean due to the rising sea level
And another one showing from publicly available data how man doesn't produce a climate change ....
Enjoy! And keep your mind alert while reading rather than turning it off because what you read may not quite be with what you have been propagandized
