“2009 paper confirming IPCC sea level conclusions withdrawn, mistakes cited“. Anthony Watts cites an article in the Guardian about the retraction of a paper that confirmed the sea level change predictions of the 2007 IPCC Report. Them scientists are always wrong!

Welcome back Maldives? Nope.

What Anthony doesn’t choose to draw attention to is that the paper’s errors were found by researchers who conclude that the predicted sea level rise will by 2100 will be 0.75m to 1.9m rather than 0.18m to 0.59m. This is a roughly three-fold increase, not the decrease that Anthony wants his readers to assume.
