Hydrographic Surveyor of NSW Australia Daniel Fitzhenry says data recorded by the Bureau of Meteorology at Fort Denison in the Sydney Harbour is “more accurate than satellite” on sea levels.
I am an Environmental enginreer with 15 years of professional work experience. University taught me lies about how the climate is changing strongly because of human activity. Imagine my shock when several years of real world professional experience, I realized how much of the lies that were peddled to me as a youth. I had my own intern last year who would get hysterical and upset if anybody questioned any part of the climate change narrative. The indoctoriation of the youth has only increased. Always be critical.
@@blank.9301 Then why is it that 70 & 80 year old US midwest farmers are saying it's the Coolest few seasons they have ever seen? The fact is that our climate over the last 400 years has been more stable than ever and that is the outlier not the norm.
Exactly….thank you speaking out.. I met an ABC cameraman 20 yrs ago, who resigned from his job because he could see a narrative forming,with the data and the commentary was strictly controlled.
I read a report from a Hydrographic Surveyor almost 20 years ago who said pretty much the same and that related to Tasmania and up the NSW coast , politicians however do not like discussing things with technical experts only ill informed media . The gentleman's obviously of an age when he feels safe to speak the truth . Well spoken sir .
I love how the alarmists observe coastal erosion - and call it sea level rise. Cracks me up every time. (EG: Sydney's northern beaches, Terrigal Beach).
On the little beach at Umina is a sign that tells us all about the constant shifting of the sands. Apparently, landscapes should never change in the alarmists' world.
@@MiraSubieGirl Absolutely - from the beginning of time the ocean has reclaimed more material from the continents than the continents have had deposited from the ocean. That is geology and oceanography 101. First year university stuff.

I live in the Med, I scratched a water line mark on a rock more than ten years ago I check it every August the level has never changed either way. We are being conned, yet again.
Middle Island, Warrnambool, the setting for the movie, Odd Ball, is also a good measure of sea-level. In 1974 you could walk out to the island at low tide. In 2019 it is exactly the same. The only difference is that the island is fenced off to protect the penguins which are being protected by maremma guard dogs.
The little town of Rye in East Sussex used to be right on the sea...500 years ago. The ocean has retreated quite some distance from the town during that time. (the distance can be seen on google earth). The ocean shows no sign of returning Rye to its previous seaside status.

@@deanpd3402 that's because parts of Britain are rising whilst others are sinking. A BBC presenter was sacked in the early 2000s for explaining this because the BBC wanted the story to be about rising sea levels.
Funny that. The sea level at my holiday cottage has been the same for the last 30 years. In fact it might even have gone down. Maybe some parts of the world are sinking.

Horizontal errors in measurements with satellite remain even with "ground-truthing." Vertical measurements by satellites are especially problematical because changes in the orbital parameters introduce multiple errors up to meter (yard) size. Centimeter-scale errors remain after applying post-processing or real-time processing by ground-based reference stations.

A fisherman from Main told All Gore that he has been a fisherman most of his life and he doesn’t see any difference in the sea level. Gore dismissed him.
Yeah because I'm sure a fisherman will notice a few of centimeters of sea level change while being able to correctly adjust for tectonic moments purely on intuition... I mean.. Or not.. Being able to do that would have made that fisherman one of the most intelligent people to have lived ever while also having 100% perfect photographic memory. Pro tip.. That was probably not the case.
None of Al Gores predictions have come true. Just like none of the predictions about the world burning up or freezing that have been made since they started making those predictions have come true.
@@dailytact1370 I think the fisherman would have noticed the tide levels at the dock. Where did anyone but you make any claim about adjusting for tectonic movements? The thing is, no living creature really *cares* what happens to global sea level; what we and the seals care about is the *relative* sea level at our particular patch, the *unadjusted* sea level. If the relative sea level is going up, we have to worry about flooding even if global sea level is going down. If the relative sea level is going down, we don't have to worry about flooding even if global sea level is going up. The tide gauges tell us what will affect us; the satellites do not. Local sea level adjusted for various geological effects tells earth scientists something *interesting* but not *vital*. What is vital for our lives is the *relative* sea level. Where I live, there's a peninsula, with a road going along the harbour side. When the road was built in the 1860s, it was about 2 feet above high tide. These days, it's about 1 foot above high tide. That's about 2mm/year, which agrees with the local tide gauges. I have the good fortune to live in a geologically stable area where the land isn't moving up or down. The road is now being widened, which would be the perfect time to build it up by a few inches if anyone seriously believed it was at risk. Not happening, despite the council *talking* about climate change and sea level rise and 100 year plans. Tell me about a 30cm (1 foot) rise in 100 years and I'll say "well, that's a bit high based on what the local tide gauges say, but maybe." Tell me about a 1 metre rise in 100 years and I'll say "I thought the government closed down the Legal Highs shops". We currently have gale warnings and warnings of "heavy seas", which means very large waves, dwarfing anything sea level rise is likely to bring us.
I'm 64. I have walked the beach of Galveston Island, Texas since I was a child. There is no sea level rise. It's true that erosion is taking place and sand is pumped upon the beach. The sand here is sedimentary and is easily washed away. Ground water pumping is by far more reflective of industrial use as it has caused subsidence of communities in the Houston area. Once underground pumping has caused the gravitational liquidation, it probably will never have a rebound of the elevation of the land. Liquefaction is when the porous underlying structure collapse and is flattened by subsidizing topical land by gravitational weight. Our Gulf of Mexico shoreline has basically rivers that flow underground and sand is pushed within the Gulf of Mexico. Google Earth, shows the erosion and catastrophic slides that go into the depths. The greatest of concern in observation is, a Carrington Event, close to the Gulf of Mexico shoreline, creating liquefaction and producing a mega tsunami.
not true. gauges rise and lower on the land they are installed on, as tectonic pressures shift. theres are *ZERO* accurate methods of measuring sea level change that are practical. you'd have to measure the volume of all the water in the oceans to get an accurate empirical measurement.
FFS mate, that means using common sense. No, it’s much better to use a tool so far away plus ‘predictive’ modelling. Otherwise the grant money for continued research is going to run out.
Thanks. This vid puts direct observational evidence, into the hands of the public, well done. Fort Denison is on an edge of the planet's largest ocean. It has been there for the most significant increase in CO2 from the industrial revolution. They physics of water expansion due to increasing temperature from CO2 increase is not observed at Fort Denison. *Conclusion* The oceans have not warmed or risen significantly even though the industrial revolution has been adding CO2 increasingly since 1760, the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Note: this likely has to do with the absorption spectra of CO2 gas. It only absorbs specific wavelengths of infra red (heat) energy. Even low levels of CO2 in the atmosphere absorb almost all the available heat in the spectral wavelengths that it can, so adding more CO2 can't cause more than very small amounts of extra heat to be trapped. It's as if the windows of the CO2 greenhouse are all closed for maximum heat retention, and it's keeping in all the heat it can already. I sometimes communicate this phenomena as, 'The Colour of Carbon Dioxide'. It's like this, a green leaf absorbs much of the red and blue light, but it can't absorb the green because that's the colour or way a leaf absorbs light energy. CO2 gas absorbs some very specific wavelengths, and it absorbs VIRTUALLY ALL that infra red energy/colour. Once something is painted, say totally green, adding more coats of green can't make it any more green. Similarly Painting more CO2 'colour' in the sky, can't make it any more absorbent. Greenhouse gasses in order of importance for temperature effects: 1. Water Vapour 2. Water Vapour 3. Water Vapour ... 10. Water Vapour 11 CO2 We feel the effects of water vapour and how it traps heat. Clear skies in winter means cold nights while cloudy skies in winter means warmer nights ... and we can feel this! But we don't feel hotter at night when we're in a city with higher CO2, as opposed to a rural area. The reason we don't feel a CO2 heat trapping effect is because it is always maxxed out, having absorbed all it can, unlike water vapour. Cheers Sincerely David
And people mistake steam from the kettle as water vapour. The vast majority of people would never volunteer that the largest greenhouse gas is water vapour (by a huge margin). Water vapour is highest in the tropical regions (where there is huge amounts of energy in the water), causing seasonal monsoons and cyclones. It is an essential part of the ecosystem, enabling crops to be sown and dams replenished. It's weather!
I thought Fort Dennison would have been covered by the ocean rise by now ! one good thing it hasn't fallen down like the shoddy Sydney construction now maybe real engineers and builders worked on the construction.
I have wondered about this. Places on the shore where I fished as a child have the same levels of high and low tides that they had 60 years ago. I am 70.
The same Tony Heller who talks about day-to-day weather in an attempt to convince us about the climate over multiple years. I suggest you look into the channel "potholer54 ", he has basically made a name of himself debunking everything that comes from Tony Heller's mouth.
I visited the small rock pool in Queensland (near cairns) I used to play in 40years ago as a child (was 3 to 8years old) and it's exactly the same. It's extremely sensitive to the tide and you can see the water level stains on the rocks. I still have family living there with history of over 100years and everyone has said that it hasn't changed.
I was down at my local beach a few weeks ago. There was a very low tide...a passerby spoke to me and commented on the tide and said""You cant tell me there is no Global warming"' Well after I picked myself up off the sand, I set them straight!
I actually watched something recently that tried to tell me that h20 expands when changing from ice to water... I was pretty sure they were wrong but what with the tv saying it for a second I doubted myself. Quickly I remembered my teacher at school explaining the freeze thaw weathering action and how when freezing, water expands. They had a genuine PhD on the tv saying this... wtf?! How can something happen one way but then when it suits them be the complete polar (sry lol had to) opposite
I know mmmmmmmmmmmmm I know. On TV they show big ice burghs that have broken of the shelf at Antartica but dont say twice as much ice built up on the other side of the Continent at the same time
do you think that refutes what he said somehow? _"Ad hominem (Latin for "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, typically refers to a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument."_
It's a similar story in the USA from the Battery at New York. While the alarmists scream that sea level rise is accelerating, the raw data shows a steady couple of millimetres per annum rise that is not changing in rate, and this rise is known to have been going on for thousands of years, not because sea level is rising, but because that part of the American continent is sinking whilst the Canadian part rises in isostatic response to the loss of the miles high ice age glaciers. The alarmists appear to think the general public too stupid to find this out and call their lies.
I downloaded the BoM graphs of sea level only two days ago. Sea level rises insidiously over the century with no obvious pointer to increased carbon dioxide.
Yes, and at a relatively steady rate. We're in an interglacial. It'll continue until the climate goes glacial again, and you can once more walk to New Guinea.
@@68404 Probably go the other way when the Victorian communists invade Queensland to escape the advancing glaciers, and the Queensland refugees make a run for it to PNG :)
The 2019 mean sea level figure is not valid as the year has not completed yet and sea levels are higher in summer. The figures may have been recorded accurately but it’s the interpretation of these figures that is most difficult and needs many appropriately highly qualified people to decide what is really going on and not a single media reporter with an individual hydrographic surveyor to decide the future of the human race!
Fort Denison is something one can see with one's own eyes ..... satellite data is simply electronic bytes .... which is more real ??? Do we need to ask the question??
@@aleighwill Climate Models ....NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally said "at this rate the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice free at the of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions"
@Jack Richardson If sea level rise rates were accelerating, tide gauge graphs around the world would be non-linear with an upwards curvature. Water seeks a level surface, so any nonlinear “response” would be seen globally. There is no evidence this is occurring.
One no longer hears much about sea level rise contaminating near-shore aquifers in the Sundarbans (N. E India) that was making life for residents difficult or impossible, but that was in the news much 10 to 15 years ago. Govt of India looked into the matter and this is what they concluded: due to population rise, existing wells could not support villages. Beginning back in the 1970s Indian govt, charities (like Sai Baba) and individuals began drilling really deep wells, including just inland from the Sundarbans. Result was significant lowering of the aquifer which caused sea water ingress...as it turns out full aquifers drain out to the sea through subterranian channles, and depleted aquifers allow sea water to leak in. Sea level rise was not the problem and stories claiming such disappeared from media as an inconvenient truth.
Ps Venice is not a good example because its sinking for a start and the government is spending a living fortune in sea defence because of the huge tourist dollar London is at risk from tidal surge when combined with ultra rain inland The bottom line is that water goes anywhere it finds least resistance Usually down with gravity and fractal dispersion
It doesn't mean anything in particular what sea levels are in one, or even several places. The earth's hydrological systems are vast, complex, and varied.
Mr Fitzhenry says that ill informed people just draw a line from the high point to the low point and say that the sea level has gone down, extended the line even further and it shows that the sea level drops more. It sounds like he is saying the sea level is rising. The graph shows that the sea level has risen and fallen since 1914 to 2004. In 2014 the sea level was 10mm higher than the 1914 level allowing for the rise and fall. Continuing this trend in another 100 years and the sea level will be 20mm higher than the 1914 level.
Wow! Very informative interview regarding sea levels. With "Global Warming" at such an alarming rate, so say some, it is any wonder that sea levels are not flooding our land. Even in South America, there is evidence of the sea levels dropping leaving fishing vessels and pleasure vessels stranded where they were once floating!
Added problem now. with all the rain that is falling on Eastern Australia, as well as a Cyclone oner the Northern Territory, all those flooding rivers are going to run into the ocean and raise levels even higher. Forgetting the fact that all that rain was evaporation from the Ocean taken up as water vapor and dropped on the land as rain. Don't worry, it has been used as an excuse for stable sea levels before by nutters
I live a mile or so from the River Thames in Essex. According to Al Gore and the other climate change retards I should now by under a couple of meters of Water. I'm not, and people are still able to get 30 year mortgages for properties along the river. One thing people in the UK do not seem to know is one of the main reasons why rivers are breaking their banks more often: EU legislation prevents local authorities from dredging, so the river beds are rising.
There are places along Galveston Bay where the water is most definitely closer to the houses than it was when the houses were built a few decades ago. But that is a case of ground subsidence from what I've gathered. Measurements based from satellites is inaccurate, but when you can't trust whether the ground is moving also, it complicates the issue. I live over 50 ft above sea level, so I'm not too concerned...
Venice Italy is sinking too. Wells were depleting to ground water & the ground was shrinking like a dry sponge. Same thing is happening in California's central valley.
I'm not sure which is right but the data given for Fort Denison at: www.psmsl.org/data/obtaining/stations/65.php is considerably different to the data shown by Sky News (1:29) in this video.
the news interviewer didn't do any homework & had trouble coming to terms with the presented data and guest. There are a few other things besides the moon & other planets affecting the ocean tides. the earth has its surface areas raising and other places are subsiding due to plate tectonics. Australia, I believe is one of the more stable areas on the planet. The oceans salinity also affects the density of sea water. The oceans are becoming more salty.
Recently I saw a news report from a reporter in Samoa who interviewed a long term resident and he claimed the sea had risen so far that it was reclaiming the island and had already consumed houses due to climate change which he directed attention to in an area which was now awash with the sea and at least a half meter or more below where it had been before . I can only conclude there must be a hugely long set of steps in the ocean between Sydney and Samoa that ships and boats must step down on the way to Samoa. Warning sailors and P & O your ships need to be able to traverse steps or they will be stuck like the Daleks !!
Four causes of mean sea level rise: planetary gravitational effects (similar to the tides but smaller and more complex), rising ocean floor due to tectonic activity, thermal expansion, and the addition of land ice (i.e. water not currently in the ocean). All four processes can result in a decrease when in reverse (e.g. sea floor lowering, cooling, etc).
I don't know what the point of this article was. Here is a link to the Fort Denison (No 2) levels. The trend seems pretty obvious? A little less, but pretty much in line with what the IPCC indicates. www.psmsl.org/data/obtaining/rlr.annual.plots/196_high.png
I'm sure there are plenty of hydrographic surveyors that believe the level is rising. It would be great if both view points were heard. We might actually have learned something. The truth is normally somewhere in the middle.
10000 years ago you could walk to Tasmania, ocean levels were 400 feet lower. The same scientists that tell us this are saying sea levels will rise 2 millimetres by the end of the century! Seems about right!
Anyone else gonna point out that the data provided in this video shows a linear average increase in sea levels at Fort Denison? The way Bolt cherry-picks certain data and doesn't take into account the average change lays the foundation for a flawed argument.
there is no practical method for measuring sea-level rise. tide gauges are attached to a surface that constantly rises and lowers itself due to tectonic plate changes, and satellite data simply doesnt have the usable resolution to measure changes, which is why they edit the data from satellites
For all these people who have lived on these islands in the pacific have changed the layout of the land so yeah you chop down trees to put houses you lose the natural ability of these islands to maintain landmass. Ive seen all the documentaries complaining that the sea levels have risen so much that they have to leave their homes. You move to areas not inhabited before and you change the landscape the oceans will reclaim that land
So sea level should be rising faster with all that extra water inflow? If inflow is generally the same year on year / decade on decade, there would be no change in the trend from that source.
A 75 centimetre rise in sea level is roughly equivalent to a thermal expansion (increase in temperature of the sea) of 1 degree centigrade. (thermal expansion of water at 20 degrees centigrade times average depth of earth’s oceans 0.000207 x 3688 metres). 20 centimetres increase over the last century represents approximately 0.26 degree centigrade increase in sea temperature.
I’ve grown up around Lake MacQuarie, I’m 66. There is no rise in the sea level. I can show you many examples around the Lake of where the sea level used to be, I’m 5ft 10in......it’s above my head, just! I know of aboriginal feeding sites on the Lake some are close to the current shore line, others are about 200 metres back up the creeks. When I was a kid, I could paddle up to Toronto Golf Club. When I was a teenager, I could only go half way. Some of the bays, if you could stand the mud up to your crutch, you could walk across in water up to your chest. Other times.....no water, you had to lie on your belly and slide across.
One question that wasn't asked, could the planetary motions have predicted the Fort Denison sea level to within a mm since for every decade since 1914? This prediction will tell us if global warming has affected the sea level at Fort Denison. If the calculations predict the exact sea level year on year and it's the same as the real readings then humans have not affected sea level rise. Do we need to get Valentina Zharkova on this, to do the maths for us?
Back in 2007 there was concern the Fort was subsiding, maybe it still is? In terms of sound science you dont just take 1 data point and say, well that's it, no problem and ignore far better measuring instruments and sites telling you something else.
Apparently the planet spins faster during an ice age centrifuging the water out higher around the equator, lower nearer the poles. During warm periods the planet slows letting water settle out more spherically, levels drop at the equator, rise nearer the poles.
Tractorhead / the planet dosent spin, the sky above us does, we've been lied to for 500 years or more, NASA in Hebrew means to deceive in plain sight lie in your face.Check out flat earth theory vids a lot of answers there, we have a lot to figure out & relearn.

You won’t see this on the bbc or any msm sources. However this is consistent throughout the world Some gauges are up some are down. Overall there is no real change.
The Politburo will disappear Daniel Fitzhenry soon enough and then we will learn that there never was a Hydrographic Surveyor of NSW by the name of Daniel Fitzhenry.
There is a city in Indonesia called Jakarta where the earth is sinking / subsiding which results in flooding ... so nothing to do with "climate change" but everything to do with the land subsiding. www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44636934
I don't necessarily believe satellite data. It's dependent on software for it's accuracy. There could be a flaw in that code. A measuring stick with whatever unit of measure you like is more trustworthy, imho.
