I looked at your history and it looks like you’ve recently posted your same song link 100s of times.

That’s overdoing it!

Your posts meet the definition of “spamming” the forum.

Yes. The author of this “science” piece obviously failed Science class in middle school

Same articles over and over, same thoughts, over and over..I am not moving your hand to click..

I thought spamming had to be for an alternative reason, sales etc..I have no other motive..but ok..its not spamming to me..

Sad I didn’t post it more..

Ice sheets are over land, ice shelf are over water and extend off an ice shelf with gravity moving ice down hill from the ice sheet to the ice shelf where it then calves into ice bergs.

Ice shelf can , do and have raised sea levels in earth’s geologic past. The last time the earth was without continental scale glaciation and ice sheets sea levels were 200+ feet higher. That has happened multiple times in earth’s past. Conversely when at glacial maximum global sea levels were a couple hundred feet lower than now. This is why you find ice age encampments now deep underwater. Floating ice sheets are at isostatic equilibrium with the water they displaced but if the source of the ice was on land first then that displaced volume will lead to increased sea levels. Only ice that froze over water as sea ice is isostatic from it’s birth. The other issue is ice shelves act as plugs holding back with their mass the uphill ice over land behind them. When they break off that releases that restraining force and gravity moves more ice from land downhill to sea level all that formerly land bound ice now now displaces additional sea water and levels rise again. Its sound science that anyone with basic high school physics should comprehend. The debate is not if ice sheets move seaward and melt does it raise seal levels that’s been proven time and time again. The only debate is if man has any influence in the rates of temperature changes in the current interglacial period the earth’s system happens to be in. If the earth is going to go fully interglacial which by definition means all continental scale glaciation melts along with alpine glaciation then as in earth’s past sea levels will come up a hundred meters or for the yanks 320+ feet. Happens before will happen again it’s inevitable over geologic time.

Since the 1970s the earth’s oceans have been measured in altitude vs the gravitational geoid down to the individual ‘m via active radar infermetric from a continuous line of radar satellites. We in the oil industry use the same data set to see fluid movement underground around injection wells and to gauge subsidence and depletion from active producers. The radar is so sensitive it can see the earth’s surface move by a mm. When you inject salt water for disposal into a disposal well the earth around it swells up and you can watch in 4D the fluid move away from the well bore displacing solid earth in the process upwards. The satellites measure on every orbit the time averages of the pass this eliminates wind waves and reveals subsurface density waves that travel through the oceans at depth. It is one of those waves that is though to have pushed the thresher below it’s crush depth submarines can catch a density wave like a surfer and be push along by them while at depth along the interface of the less dense water above and the more dense water below just like the density difference at the air water interface. Prior to the 1970s sea levels are measured from rock scarps where the waves erode into solid rocks the median scour level is also the media height of the sea over long periods of time. Dating rocks is not hard geologists do it with great precision via a number if isotopic ratios and biostratagraphic means. The world dataset of sea levels is expansive, and well established with hundreds of years of peer review. Most scientists still practice real science not politics. There is a virtually infallible data set from the 1970s onwards with global base stations tied via gravity surveys, GPS and before that transit Doppler data to the cm with those base stations then tied to the geoid. Today GPS gets those grid ties to mm or less.

When I see liberals selling their oceanfront mansions, private jets and move into a 3 bedroom house, I’ll believe it!

If you remember the old Gillian's Island episode when the Professor thought the island was sinking, but it was Gillian using the stick as a fish trap...

That is how it is measured... The Professor's stick... 🤓

I want the global warming liars to sail another research ship into the North and South poles. They are always getting stuck there in the ice.
