Extreme weather events are ever present, and there is no evidence of systematic increases
wasn't there a record set last? Didn't massive ice shelfs just break off? wtf?

Sea levels have been rising since the end of the last ice age, most rapidly about 12,000 years ago. In recent centuries, the average rate has been relatively uniform. The rate was higher during the first half of the 20th century than during the second. At around a couple of millimeters per year, it is a residual of much larger positive and negative changes locally. The risk from global warming is less than that from other factors (primarily geological).
this doesn't actually say ANYTHING! so, ie: 'Yes, about the sea levels rising. We're fairly sure that the sea levels have been raising, and falling, the whole time. FACT! (please ignore the real point of this conversation)'

This is the stupidest spin i've read yet. It doesn't deny global warming, but says that most of the problems are from other sources? wasn't there a report just released from a 1000 scientists?
