John Fairburn (The Weekend Sun August 23) is correct regarding no observational sea level rise in 60 years and has the hydro graphic surveyors of Australia confirming that the data from the Fort Denison station which has proved to be one of the most reliable tide gauge station/sea level stations in the world and currently is 6cm below 1914 levels.
This week we saw our PM off to the Pacific Leaders Forum at Tuvalu, but it would seem she didn't get the memo, that the study by the University of Auckland regarding Tuvalu in December 2018, confirming that far from sinking, six of the seven atolls had in fact grown by a staggering 78 hectares from satellite data.
And yet Niwa still insists that their models show drastic sea level rise. The Pseudoscience of modelling has never worked and has failed 100 per cent of the time. Climate Emergency, Not.

Misrepresentation

You are unfortunately completely misrepresenting what the University of Auckland study actually said. They confirmed the rising sea levels but found that because of the shifting nature of sands making up the islands: "The effects on individual islands will vary so that while some areas may become uninhabitable, while areas will keep pace with rising seas." You can read the real information from that study at: https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/news/2019/07/16/pacific-atolls-can-adapt-to-rising-seas-and-extreme-storms---new.html
