This work presents the computation of reliable warming trends for central Australia around Alice Springs within a circle of radius 1,000 km. Between 1880 and 2011, the average warming for the centre of Australia is +0.166 ºC/century, slightly smaller than the warming of Alice Springs, that is +0.176 ºC/century. Over a shorter time between 1910 and 2011, the centre of Australia is warming +0.794 ºC/century, slightly more than the warming of Alice Springs, that is +0.719 ºC/century.

Many reported sea level records are often not a single measurement. They are then a composition of different records from several tide gauges. Sometimes, they are from the same tide gauge, but the tide gauge stability has been affected by earthquakes. This is the case of Guam as discussed in the present manuscript. The claimed sea level acceleration of Guam is only the result of two earthquakes that have compromised the stability of the tide gauge.

Many sea level records are not a single measurement. They are a composition of different records from several tide gauges. The combination of different tide-gauge segments is utterly wrong, as only very rarely can two segments be combined satisfactorily. The tide-gauge data bases are full of segmented records. An example is Aden. PSMSL has provided over 7 years 3 different versions of the composite record with strongly variable sea level rate of rise and acceleration. The tide gauge record has been recently analyzed in the peer review [1], suggesting a pattern differing substantially from the patterns proposed by PSMSL. While PSMSL had the option to comment this latest analysis, the authors of [1] had no right of reply. This does not mean they were wrong. Rather, than a fair and open peer review is needed.
