If the more mature models show higher sea level rises, then why didn&#x27;t the IPCC just include that &quot;meta trend&quot; in the current models - predicting both the climate and the future models? That would be extremely risky. We obviously can&#x27;t know what future models will show, no matter how they&#x27;ve been changing in the past.<p>2106 data is meaningless. It&#x27;s only a few months out of a many decades trend filled with noise. If you count that, then you also have to count all the months which had lower than predicted temperatures and use them to show the models are wrong. This is the bias I&#x27;m talking about. Cherry picking any bit of data that shows it&#x27;s bad.<p>Of course a higher mean sea level means higher peaks too. But so what? New York survives occasional floods, and it can survive slightly more.
