The Bearing Straight once had a land bridge. That got flooded when the earth warmed and the ice melted. Since our planet is always warming and cooling, would they rather sea levels went down 3 to 6 inches? Hmmm?

So they would rather see another ice age. I hear when most of North America becomes permafrost, corn and beans grow better and we don’t have to spend as much on heating.

When will the BS stop. Eventually Florida and New Orleans and New York will all be below sea level. They could lower sea level a bit by flooding Death Valley. Just dig a little rocky canal out to the coast. Think of all the lush farmland and life that it would create not to mention additional beach front property and another port.

Sorry, but if you can't spell "Bering Strait", do you expect me to take anything else seriously?

hey could lower sea level a bit by flooding Death Valley

YES! I. CALL. FOR. THE. FLOODING. OF. DEATH. VALLEY. TO. SAVE. THE. PLANET!
What about the Great Salt Lake and the Dead Sea? Those are below seal level aren't they?

Yes, and long after the Bering land bridge was submerged, The British Isles were still part of mainland Europe.

And there are North African depressions that could also be flooded; some are going to happen anyway, when the northern part of the Rift Valley spreads & collapses.

550 square miles of death valley are below sea level, assume that it is an average of 200 feet below sea level (but it is not likely that much). The oceans are 139 million square miles so the ratio of area is over 250,000 to 1. That means the oceans would drop by <200 feet / 250,000 or less than 1/100 of an inch.
