I was having coffee Sunday morning and on TV in the background (History Chanel I believe) was a documentary series about the History of the Romans in Britain, and they mentioned the first Roman Fort was built in Kent near their first beachhead for their invasion fleet in 43AD, and that the fort now being excavated and researched is a good deal away from the current coast due to the fact that the sea level was higher then.

Wait... WHAT?

This may not be news to some of you but based on the crap feed of information I get from the general media, I was under the assumption that sea levels have steadily been rising since the last glacial period 18k year ago.

How could it be possible that sea levels were significantly higher 2000 years ago?

Oh I remember... It's "Climate Change" now. Not "Global Warming"

Great fact that I’m glad that you posted—I was unaware of this.

Can someone calculate the height of polar caps that would have to melt to raise the sea level one inch? If you have the data, this is not a hard calculation. Help me out here.

Not only was sea level higher when the Romans were in Britain, they also grew massive grape vinyards due to the warmer temps, aka Medieval Warming Period.

Water levels go up and down.... ground elevation goes up and down. It might be significant or not. It might relate to something natural or not. It might have been the result of things such as tectonic plates shifting or not. Hard to get too excited about much of this except in an “well that’s interesting...” sort of way.

>>But what is really exciting is that we have actually found the Roman foreshore while digging in a deep trench alongside the remains of a Roman wall<<

Roman bris?

Got fossils?
The state was submerged under a warm shallow sea. At least part of Colorado was covered by shallow water during the Middle Ordovician. At the time, Colorado was home to invertebrates like articulated brachiopods, conodonts, gastropods, ostracods, pelecypods, sponges, trilobites, and worms (known from trace fossils).

Yeah, when they found Troy, it was miles from the coast, but it used to be on the water.

There are remnants of docks and harbors on the coast of Chile. Three hundred feet higher than the current sea level.

The earth spins, continents move, water rises and falls.

When something as old as the planet is considered...my guess is that “it” has seen it all.

What it is is a proven excuse to win unaccountable, unconstitutional funding from a corrupt federal government.

Since the end of the last glacial period, much of Europe that had been covered with ice is “rebounding” with the weight of the ice gone, and are higher relative to the sea than in the past. This area is literally rising up out of the sea.

Movement of the ground relative to sea level makes it difficult to measure if/how much the sea is rising, altho I think that generally, sea levels have been rising during the past 12,000 years.

During the Ice Age, Sears was unable to sell even one refrigerator.

Of course. Before they changed the name, EVERY PREDICTION, 100% OF THEM WAS WRONG FO5 50 YEARS.
Rather THAN CONFESS THAT THEY WERE JUST MAKING S**T UP TO GET TAXPAYER MONEY AND CONTROL THE GULLIBLE, THEY JUST CHANGED THE NAME.

Now climate change can be blamed for everything, from sea rise, sea drop, too much CO2, not enough CO2, snow during warm seasons, heat deaths during winters, droughts, flooding, Athlete's foot, dying trees, too many trees, forest fires, mosquitos, too many bees, not enough bees, ad infinitum.

The beauty with total ignorance and uncompromising dedication to control everyone else, is that proving them wrong is literally impossible, and there can never be any form of doom and gloom where the criminals can't figure out how to exploit the ignorance of the average dummy watching "dancing with the stars," "survivor" and "Entertainment Tonight"

And of course, the perfect all purpose imbecility magnet, "Playing with myself and my cell phone..."
Strangely, functional retard groups can't learn a trade, become literate verbally or in writing, and get a job and pay taxes, but can get a telephone to entertain them 24/7/365, and produce an endless string of little bastards...; generations on welfare forever!

Go to Sedona Arizona, those red mountains were under water, that's how they formed.

Picture Rocks, Lake Superior

The horizontal cuts into the surface of the cliffs represent water levels over the past eons…….

The Grand Canyon

Again, notice the horizontal cuts in the surface of the cliffs. They too represent the varying water levels of the canyon over the eons…..

So how do the so called climate experts explain these obviously naturally occurring phenomenon that involves literally thousands of feet of disappearing water levels in the case of the Grand Canyon?
