I will let you know soon about the paint job thing… Hubby’s truck just got painted. Haven’t gotten it back yet but I’m sure we’re all in trouble now…

I’m so sorry for contributing to the climate mess...hubby will be sanctioned

- IF that 31.5 inch change is accurate,-

They are saying they are accurate to 1/2 inch in the tilt of the earth. I don’t think that is possible.

My example presupposed a good sanding and a replacement layer thinner than the original with 'modern' paints. None of which were stated, of course.

But I'll never argue with Calvin and Hobbes, my all-time favorite comic strip :)

Watterson's retirement was a tragedy for American discourse (and a catastrophe for the comics page).

and hubby will be happier, too

Root causes. People need water. Get rid of the people and problem solved?

Oh, that’s funny - before I got this far I tried to do a rough calculation and came out at just over 1/4” rise! So, at least the figure looks about right...

Anyway, the real concern is groundwater loss in places where it is so severe that humans depending on groundwater no longer can. We (USA) have such problems in some of our western states, and the Iranians have a flat out disaster happening. From a combination of overpopulation, almost unbelievable mismanagement and bad policy, endemic corruption, and a drought, they are in ungodly trouble.
