Comment on comment by Nerem et al. (2007) on 'Estimating future sea level changes from past records' by Nils-Axel Moerner (2004)

摘要

Normal scientific publication ethics include the possibility to make comments on a publication. Such comments should normally follow reasonably close to the time of the publication of the paper under discussion. Finally, such comments should always be presented to the original author with an offer of responding to the comment. In the present case, there has been some unusual parts. In 2004,1 published a paper on "estimating future sea level changes from past records" (Morner, 2004). Three years later, there appeared a comment by Nerem et al. (2007). This comment was never presented to me for responding comments. I never saw the comment until in print. The reason for this was a change in address. I hereby take my right to respond on the comments by Nerem et al. (2007).
