Ralph,
GMorning,

Do you think we could plead with the government to somehow implement a Global Warming Tax and use the $$$$ to save the world?

Maybe Hank Johnson can lead the way ...

If a person reads that post from the space negro and still isn't convinced he is an end to end fabrication by the (((media))), they should hit themselves between the eyes with a claw end of a hammer.

I thought NewsWeek was 101% honest?

And the commies keep buying 12-15 million dollar seaside homes.

LOL, the guy who rags on people about the MSM subscribes to Newsweek.

"UFR"

I've found seashells on top of mountains more than 8000' high. Damn this global warming.

GR

Yep, and I've got one fossilized in shale that came from 10,550' deep in the ground.

That is pretty cool.

Was it from a mine or drilling? Location?

Thanks in advance.

All of the worlds oceans are a continuous body of water. It is impossible to raise the level of the ocean at FL without also raising the level of every coastline of the planet. Nobody ever points that out.

Probably because it doesn’t quite work that way.

“Are sea levels rising the same all over the world, as if we're filling a giant bathtub?

No. Sea level rise is uneven, the two main reasons being ocean dynamics and Earth’s uneven gravity field.

First, ocean dynamics is the redistribution of mass due to currents driven by wind, heating, evaporation and precipitation. For example, during La Niña events, sea level goes down because some rain that usually occurs over the ocean shifts to land, and the same phenomenon produces low latitude currents that redistribute seawater. Regional climate cycles, like El Niño and La Niña, and longer-term effects, like the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, change ocean circulation, which changes sea level.


Second, because the distribution of Earth’s mass is uneven, Earth’s gravity is also uneven. Therefore, the ocean’s surface isn’t actually a perfect sphere or ellipsoid; it is a bumpy surface. As the land-based ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica continue to unload their mass (lose ice) from far above sea level and far from the tropics, that mass reaches the sea in the form of meltwater that is then redistributed along Earth’s gravity field.

The areas farthest from the melted ice will see the most sea level rise as a result. Conversely, areas nearest to Greenland and Antarctica will see the least amount of sea level rise (and some areas will actually see sea levels drop). Scientists even track the annual cycle of ice sheet mass losses to further refine their sea level rise measurements.

Between 1993 and 2018, sea level rose 12 to 15 millimeters per year (about half an inch per year) in some regions, and went down by that amount in others. But on average, it has gone up by about 3 millimeters per year (about 28 millimeters, or 1-1/8 inches, per decade) in that same period. Most of this unevenness is caused by ocean dynamics.”

John Kerry will be at room temp in less that 25 years.

If their that dumb a claw hammer ain't gonna do it.

I have not seen an estimate of the volume of water in the ice sheets which are on land. Keep in mind, the ice sheets on water don't count (put an ice cube in a glass of water; measure how much the level rises when the ice melts). In essence, we have Antarctica, Greenland, northern Russia, some of Scandinavia. A lot of water, to be sure, but not as much as we might want to believe.
There have been periods, in the past, where there were no ice caps. During such periods. the climate was warmer and more moist. The Sahara was green. So, it might be, losses along the coasts (How much of a loss are Miami, LA, Long Island, etc.) will be counterbalanced by gains in desert areas. Maybe Lake Mead will fill up! Climate variations happen. Human activity is probably contributory but, even without it, the climate will fluctuate. Probably, the best thing we could have done, to reduce our impact on the planet, was to decide to quit breeding like rats about 75 years ago. That did not happen though, so here we are. GD

Being room temperature would make the Genius Crew smarter.

We could make Covid-19 jabs mandatory. Oh, they tried that.

I am pretty sure that the Northern parts of North America and Eurasia are still rising from the melting of the ice sheets that covered them.... Because they are floating in a fluid with a far greater density than that of water which brings me to my point. Just like the carbon dioxide and sulphur spewed by volcanos, the magma pumped out by the mid ocean trenches has a far greater effect on the capacity of the ocean basins than melting glaciers does on the volume filling it. And in any case if he the atmosphere warms up that will just cause water to evaporate faster.

Of course the oceans are not really basins. Rather the continents are giant ancient volcanic islands that have been pushed around by the mid ocean trenches for eons.

BS. Any large increase of water into the ocean will spread equally across the body of water. And factors already impacting it, like gravity or the moon, will continue to do so. Water will not just pile up in certain areas. Ever notice they raise the alarm over places like FL but never a desolate place like the Skeleton Coast of Namibia?
