Well i actually believe the ocean levels are rising but It’s damn sure not because of global warming, it’s called erosion I see it every time it rains here on the ranch. The run off from the rains wash sediment into my stock ponds and periodicly I have to dredge them back out. The Mississippi dumps about 500 million metric tons of sediment into the gulf every year. Now lets throw in all the other rivers and streams of the world, beach erosion and sediment that settles from the air and it’s going to add up and displace alot of water. Drop enough BB’s in a fish tank and it will overflow.
