Doom Today: Easter Island Faces Doom In 2080 From (non-existent) Sea Rise

Everybody Panic?

Let’s look at that article

By the end of the century, rising sea levels could push powerful seasonal waves into Easter Island’s 15 iconic moai statues, according to a new study published in the Journal of Cultural Heritage. About 50 other cultural sites in the area are also at risk from flooding.

“Sea level rise is real,” said Noah Paoa, lead author of the study and a doctoral student at the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology. “It’s not a distant threat.”

You know what’s missing from the article? Data. Anything saying how much sea rise there is. So, let’s go to the NOAA website, and see that the short term gauge, 1970 to 2020, shows a whopping 0.08mm a year rise, “equivalent to a change of 0.03 feet in 100 years”. This is what they are freaking out about in the real world.

In the unhinged cultist world paper we get

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projects sea level in Rapa Nui to reach 0.32–0.70 m to 0.48–0.94 m relative to a 1995–2014 baseline by the end of the century under the intermediate and very-high greenhouse gas emission pathways (SSP2–4.5 and SSP5–8.5, respectively)

Which is not supported by ANY actual factual, observed data.
