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

No kidding!
Jagball gotta make that post quota to get that check ! Seems the warewoofs are quiet now, FSK bridge interrupted Adrenachrome shipments, and someone else was given the P. Diddy story, Jagball still gotta collect that check, putting up something...... Gov't handler approved.
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.”
Yawn, those irregularities exist now. You saying that an 8' rise in sea level wouldn't be noticed around the world is, well, bullshiet. You will get a corresponding rise everywhere because those irregularities are already inherent to the current ocean surface. While we're at it, crustal rebound is still occurring in places like Michigan where the ice sheets were once a mile think. It's not just the ocean surfaces that are moving.

I am not saying it would not be noticed; but that the rise will not be equally distributed. The irregularities you note which are already inherent will impact the new volume of distribution more in some areas than others. It’s a hugely complex system.
For what it is worth a few years ago for my NJROTC class which covers basic oceanography we looked at this sort of this. I don't have the figures in front of me but if you take the trillions of square meters of the surface of the ocean and then add the estimated volume of water trapped in the icecaps above the water level as well as the water trapped in all the major glaciers it will raise the level of the ocean surface slightly more than 1/4 of an inch. The rise is really that small. So, it isn't the rising of sea level that would have a big impact but the decrease in the salinity level of the ocean could be ecologically damaging to many species while being beneficial to many as well.
But you never hear the enviro morons talk about that.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!
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.
If their that dumb a claw hammer ain't gonna do it.

The genius crew could be room temperature and still smarter than you. If you don't believe me, check your Newsweek subscription.
I've found seashells on top of mountains more than 8000' high. Damn this global warming.
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.
Core sample from a drilling operation in Beckham County Oklahoma.
Thanks for the reply. I would love to take a look at that fossil. Pretty unique.
Have a great day.
It's not real clear in the picture, shows up better in person. I showed it to my Geologist, he took a closer look and confirmed that it was a prehistoric shell of some kind.
