At WUWT Anthony Watts published an article by Charles Clough (archived
here). He was complaining about
an article by Justin Gillis in the New York Times last February, which had the title:
Seas Are Rising at Fastest Rate in Last 28 Centuries
Here is where the title came from, in the abstract of
a paper by Robert E Kopp and colleagues (my emphasis):
GSL [global sea level] rose at 0.1 ± 0.1 mm/y (2σ) over 0–700 CE. A GSL fall of 0.2 ± 0.2 mm/y over 1000–1400 CE is associated with ∼0.2 °C global mean cooling. A significant GSL acceleration began in the 19th century and yielded a 20th century rise that is extremely likely (probability P≥0.95) faster than during any of the previous 27 centuries.
Charles Clough
is from the pseudo-religious cult,
the Cornwall Alliance. He
has signed a "declaration" rejecting climate science, which blatantly and
falsely claims in part that "Recent global warming is one of many natural cycles of warming and cooling in geologic history." He's a sworn science denier. Charles is also a
young earth creationist as indicated on this YouTube session (the
link goes straight to the segment at 21 minutes 18 seconds in. You'll have to skip the advert). Charles Clough thinks the earth was created at the same time as the mythical creation of Adam, 6,000 years ago.
