Are we really having rising sea levels? Really???

Has anyone checked the level of PLYMOUTH ROCK?

You know the one in New England where Christopher Columbus landed??? Is that still at sea level? Or is it inches/feet/yards/or miles undersea? What about those seaside Mansions that the Obama family purchased, are they underwater yet? The island of Manhattan, or even NY's Long Island or how about Martha's Vineyard; are they underwater yet?

Based on the story below (FULL STORY AT THE LINK) it would seem logical that undersea divers would be the tourists who visit Plymouth Rock.

And why are the homes of the rich and wealthy not sinking into the sea? Obamas, and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg are both building ocean front estates on islands of Hawaii. I mean the UN big wig is claiming islands in the Pacific should be especially vulnerable.



UN chief calls rising seas a ‘worldwide catastrophe’​

He sees Pacific paradises as especially vulnerable.

Antonio Guterres speaks.
The Pacific is getting hit hard despite only producing 0.2% of heat-trapping gases causing climate change and expanding oceans, the UN said. The largest chunk of the sea rise is from melting ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland. Melting land glaciers add to that, and warmer water also expands based on the laws of physics.
Antarctic and Greenland “melting has greatly accelerated over the past three to four decades due to high rate of warming at the poles,” Williams, who was not part of the reports, said in an email.
About 90% of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases goes into the oceans, the UN said.
Globally, sea level rise has been accelerating, the UN report said, echoing peer-reviewed studies. The rate is now the fastest it has been in 3,000 years, Guterres said.
Between 1901 and 1971, the global average sea rise was 1.3 centimeters a decade, according to the UN report. Between 1971 and 2006 it jumped to 1.9 centimeters per decade, then between 2006 and 2018 it was up to 3.7 centimeters a decade. The last decade, seas have risen 4.8 centimeters (1.9 inches).
The UN report also highlighted cities in the richest 20 nations, which account for 80% of the heat-trapping gases, where rising seas are lapping at large population centers. Those cities where sea level rise in the past 30 years has been at least 50% higher than the global average include Shanghai; Perth, Australia; London; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Boston; Miami; and New Orleans.

Thinking about it logically the ice expands as it freezes correct????
So as they melt the water level should go down as water is more dense than ice and takes up less space so level should be going down
Please send my Noble prize to my po box :cool:
 
bright mind's think alike:)


Why it’s important: While their effects might be minimal, these floating bodies of ice still contributed about .04 inches (1.1 millimeters) to sea level between 1994 and 2017 and are important to understanding these changes accurately.

“If you only looked at the grounded ice change, you’d actually be underestimating the effect of the freshwater addition by about half,” Schmidt said. “So, understanding and keeping track of the floating ice bit is important for those direct effects and then also those small sea level effects.”

Never mentioned by those that support sea level rise is land subsidence. Yup it turns out in some but not all coastal areas the land is sinking.
According to CDC (Canadian anti climate change) on you tube sea level rise at most coastal cities is like 6-12MM per 100 years.

Oh, yea that is an EMERGENCY! :yum: :tiphat:
