Nature Wants to Eat You. A Levelling. The Spectator has allowed me to rebut Nils-Axel Morner’s rubbish about sea levels.
By George Monbiot, published in the Spectator 8th December 2011. If people are committed to an unscientific position, no evidence or argument will shake them out of it. Whether they subscribe to AIDS denial, excessive fear of radiation, vaccine scaremongering, homeopathy or creationism, they tend to demand impossible standards of proof from their opponents but to accept any old rubbish that supports their beliefs.

Archaster typicus, the most common of asteroids on beaches that suffer from urban neglect, teem at Pulau Hantu, sitting on tongues of fine sand, sifting, ploughing, wallowing through sediment trapped by wedges of loose rock, a zone of elevation, of partial, perforated exclusion, created by the framing of two coral islands and a reef between to paint a picture perfect storm trooper pooper of a party state your business or bring it on kick a bucket let Atlas shrug off your chains nothing to lose but a world to whing.
