I don't think the predictions are wrong. I think the rhetoric is hyperbolic.



Then perhaps I misunderstood.

Michael E. Mann wrote "Dire Predictions: Understanding Global Warming". He lives in Amherst, at about 90 m elevation.

The "the actuality of sea level changes where they live" is zero for him, as there is no sea where he lives, and it would take a very large increase for it to reach him.

How is that data point relevant?
