WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bush's fault!{/s}

“Please look at Rye england the coastline is One Mile from the Original shore!”

Consider isostatic rebound.

>>>Well, the ONE did say that if he was elected the seas would cease to rise............<<<

Oh, I thought he said they'd.... Part.

"The photo caption says the tidal range is less than a meter."

(Red faced) Still, it makes the point I was attempting to communicate. :{)

new islands don’t create new mass from nothingness or do they?

[philly-d-kidder]

this is from about the time when Greenland was Flooded entirely! In the 16th Century I believe...

[Polybius]

The land at particular points can go up or down in elevation. So changes in sea level at a given location are essentially meaningless.

A classic (no pun intended) example is the "Temple of Serapis" at Pozzuoli at the north end of the Bay of Naples.

The dark marks in the columns are holes drilled by marine rock-boring mollusks and represent the highest water level around the columns as bradyseismic activity lowered and raised the columns over the centuries.

I wonder..can the mark be seen today ?....

[paudio]

Well, the ONE did say that if he was elected the seas would cease to rise............

I thought he said he would walk on water and part the sea? After all, he is the "one".

[omega4179]

Obama has already lowered the oceans!!

[Waco]

We gotta get those sea levels back up there some way, oh yeah, a pencil will do it. Whew

[neverbluffer]

SIMPLE SOLUTION:

Rising seas is a good thing. All we have to do is build DE-SALINIZATION plants along the east coast. We get all the drinking water we need, and deplete the rising oceans at the same time.

De-Salinization plants are common in other parts of the world that have scare water resources.

The latest hack to join the O administration is the kook that created the charts for albore’s movie.

He stated that billions would die in the next few decades due to rising oceans.

"The whole Canadian shield is still remounding from the weight of glaciers."

Yup. Many places worldwide are...these rebounds are probably the cause of some earthquakes in unlikely places too.

[cripplecreek]

I was at pictured rocks in June and the result of the rebound is pretty obvious.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Did the coastline move inland or further out to sea? The sign of the change might be significant.

[philly-d-kidder]

The Coast Moved a mile out...

[SampleMan]

What?

Ice that is covering ground that is above sea level has the effect of raising the sea level when it melts. Greenland and Antarctica have a lot of this. Given the comparative size of the ice packs to the world's oceans and the difference in volume in frozen versus liquid water, they would have to melt an average of 37' in depth to raise the oceans 1'.

Greenland appears to be losing an ever so slight amount of ice volume, while Antarctic is gaining ice.

[SampleMan]

also ocean volume will increase due to increase in gross temperature. Which should occur with land as well as water.

[SampleMan]

The whole Canadian shield is still remounding from the weight of glaciers.

Which should mean that its dropping somewhere else.
