Say I want to raise the sea level one inch, how much water do I need?

[The Archer II]

I found this site Free Republic through a search to verify my calculations about the amount of water required to raise all of the connected bodies of water (oceans, gulf, seas, etc. The math was very accurate However instead of comparing it to Mt Everest in size I thought is appropriate to use Niagara falls' flow rate: Niagara Falls US & Canadian Combined) flows at a rate of 350,000 gallons per second. Annual estimated water output 11,045,160,000,000 gallons Using the previous post calculations which stated it would take 28,940,800,000,000,000 gallons of water for the first inch divided by the stated annual flow rate of Niagara falls you would be looking at a 24/7/365.25 If the math is correct it would take just over 2,620 connected together Niagara Falls just to produce the first inch. Niagara falls Us and Canada is claimed to have a fall face of 2,600 feet. 2,620 x 2,600'= 6,812,583,.97 total feet of face of falls. Or 1,290 Contiguous miles of falls.

We all would be watch this every night on the nightly news> LOL 24 hour cable outlets would be leading with this story! New reports from airplanes flying by recording the damage to the oceans! Brackish water killing off all marine life. The question which will close the argument is! Show me the water?

Just start shoveling dirt into the oceans.

Using the previous post calculations

What post? How did you calculate the amount of water needed?

[rickmichaels]

Off topic, but I read recently that there are more hydrogen atoms in a single teaspoon of water than there are teaspoons of water on Earth (including all oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, ponds, glaciers, icecaps, in the atmosphere, etc.

That’s cool.

We had 13 TRILLION gallons of rain go into the Ocean in San Diego. Ocean went up 1/64 th of an inch.

There are two types of ice. Floating ice and ice on top of land. Only the later melting will raise the sea level.

Well, the calculations for rainfall over surface area could be used— if one could determine the total surface area of the worlds oceans. but like your Niagra Falls based calculation for the visual effect of 2,620 connected Falls output... to produce one inch raising.

Notionally, of course the very concept of melting ice caps raising water levels (but only in certain places... heh) is absurd. If they completely melted, both of them, and the ice quantity accurately figured— maybe 3, 4 inches and that would have to be everywhere— all shorelines.

Just take Algore down for a swim. That’s how he got started down this very profitable road.

You would at least need more than enough

All we have to do is nothing...The oceans, because of global warming will rise about 2,300 ft in three hours from now...

Next prediction: Three hours and one minute from ......NOW!!!

If you stick him in the water the sea level will come up. I remain, ‘anti glacialist’.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

I think if you throw Rosie O’Donnell into the ocean it will rise by at least two inches.

[outofsalt]

Sounds right. But only takes 1/1024 of possible DNA relationship to be a Cherokee.

[wastoute]

Ican’t Tell you how much water would be required but I CAN tell you how many dollars the Democrats will claim they need to prevent it.

[Rastus]

Thar she blows!

[fuzzylogic]

I hear that sea levels are rising the fastest in Florida!

I’m not kidding, I had people in my family asking about it on FB after reading it was true.

Archimedes rolls in his grave.

[Grimmy]

I suspect there’s some people wishing for a localized sea rise in San Francisco Bay to wash off some streets in that area.

[dsrtsage]

“ if one could determine the total surface area of the worlds oceans.”

You cant use the surface area only to calculate it. Raising the ocean level changes the surface area itself

[Intolerant in NJ]

Have you controlled for the rise and fall of various land masses due to seismic shifts and volcanic activity during the period you’re trying to raise the oceans - have you accounted for differential ice formation and melt during the same period - how ‘bout spikes in sunspot activity while you’re trying to get that raise - and don’t forget the inaccuracies in the calculation of the temperature rise equilibrium sensitivity that suggests the CO2 effect is only half what the warmists are trying to peddle......

We had 13 TRILLION gallons of rain go into the Ocean in San Diego. Ocean went up 1/64 th of an inch.

And doesn't that 1/64th rise promptly evaporate into the atmosphere and make clouds that rain?
