Part 13: Climate Change - Misleading Media Reports On Sea Level Rise - A Case Study

This addresses a response to Peter's video "Part 11A: Climate Change - Hurricanes, Atolls And Corals," which, on investigation, revealed a major error by a news agency and a TV network. The moral of the story is that sticking the label "Global Warming" onto anything that moves is not going to help public understanding of climate science.
This video series is made by the former science correspondent Peter Hadfield who has a genuine interest in reporting the facts, not the media hype. Peter runs the very popular UA-cam channel potholer54 and it is for this channel he originally made this series.
The Flagship Movement is always working towards informing the general public about anything related to sustainability and as climate change in recent years have become a central part of any sustainability work, and the debate about it have become so infected with unscientific nonsense - we felt that we needed to try and clear things up a bit using the actual science. We felt that Peter's UA-cam series are among, if not THE best regarding the issue of climate change.
