You are quoting a blog entry from 2016. The report I was referring to was from march 2019. They debunked their own blogpost.

In another comment, someone pointed out issues with your understanding of that report, which you replied to with basically "well I don't believe that part". As such, I'm not inclined to credit your claim they "debunked" this. You're welcome to cite an updated statement or blog post saying so, though.

  This is just a bizarre exchange, (which I'm obviously changing to make people look silly, but I'll assume it reflects things accurately): raarts: the official report by people with the expertise to measure this says X. itcrowd: yea but here's someone's personal opinion from some blog hosted by that organization raarts: sure, but that's an old blog post, and also it's just a blog post? ceejayoz: I found some other post you made so I don't have to care what the official report says. I can assume you are lying because it is convenient. In the meantime, I won't hold any posts I agree with to any such standard.

    Except the official report doesn't say what's being claimed here. If they've decided climate change is debunked, that'd be worthy of at least a new blog post. It's pointed out at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21313203 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21313203 that /u/raarts misread that section.

      For others who arrived here, it was not 'pointed out' that I read it wrong, it was suggested that I read it wrong. The discussion continued from there, and I think I explained my point quite clearly, and I definitely did not read it wrong. I still maintain sea level rise is not accelerating and my logic behind that was not proven wrong. Instead my discussion partner started pointing to other sources.
