How stupid do these guys think we are? Obviously, stupider than them. Since they are as stupid as a pound of rocks, they must think we are as stupid as a pound of feathers.

This article proves leftism is an international mental disorder. It’s that (Mental Disorder), or fantasy contagion from the film industry sweeping the Earth with devastating results upon those of susceptible status ie; children as in the Peter Pan syndrome.
something like that, perhaps, maybe.

Actually, what is happening is that the rising
sea level has finally reached some of the man made
tunnels to the inner earth and they are experiencing
Anthropogenic global flooding and have stopped using
SUVs as a result.

For every 30 feet or water you get roughly an extra atmosphere of weight. 1 atm is about 15lb psi. So that is about 1/2 per foot or 1/24 lb per inch. That is 2/3rd of an ounce or about 16 grams of extra weight for every inch of sea level rise per square inch of sea floor.

Sounds good to me; I was stationed out there for a few months when I was in the Corps, the seas are beautiful out there, can I bring my deep sea fishing rods?

So if the earth is ~65% water, and the see bed is indeed sinking, why are we not seeing earthquakes and faults shifting? The earth is solid, you cannot deform the earth without consequences.

Very good post. I think it was a book or something that talked about thinking things out and even just making a guess on various things - but you could estimate well enough to provide you with a hint if something was correct or not.
Obviously it doesn’t sound like you are guessing at the numbers - but it was the same line of thinking and reasoning it out.
BTW - the land previously covered by the ice sheets from 15,000 years ago WAS depressed because of all of that weight (a mile thick in Seattle and Chicago and NYC) and the ground is still rebounding. Very slowly obviously, but enough to account for errors back in the day when measurements at fixed water marks showed the sea level “dropping” over a hundred years or whatever. Until they figured out that the sea-level wasn’t dropping - it was the land raising!
I think that their might even be very minor earthquakes related to the rebounding.

Ocean bottom deformation? Does that have something to
with backed-up septic systems?

Surely it can be fixed if enough money is spent in the right places.
