Oops! Sea Levels Dropping Everywhere, According to NASA

The climate clowns are excited about this:

The problem with climate change denier clowns is they have no memory (or no shame), otherwise they might recall this:

The period the clowns are gleeful about (a period of not quite two years) looks like this in the context of over two decades of data:

Astute readers may notice that sea level has "dropped" twice since Bjorn Lomborg stepped on his big clown toes, but notice that the long term trend is upwards.

Our latest climate change clown wonders:

Oddly enough, or not, NASA provides no explanation on its page about what is happening, only allowing for information about “sea level rise… from melting ice sheets and glaciers and the expansion of sea water as it warms.” But if that’s true, where is all the water going?

Probably, as in previous periods where sea level has "dropped", it's gone onto the land, in the form of precipitation, ie rain, caused by short term variations in regional weather.

This rain of course eventually runs back into the ocean, and this short term effect has no long term influence on the trend.

But pointing this out in the past doesn't stop the climate change clowns from falling over their feet again as if it's funny.

Addendum: Snopes have done a story on this. Verdict (unsurprisingly) FALSE.
