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
