It sounds like they had a problem with global warming 8400 years ago.

[Onelifetogive]

when the sea level was 12 metres lower than today

And the enviro-wennies are griping about "man-made" glo-bull warming that "might" raise the sea levels by a few inches?????

Wasn't this the whole premise for the 900+ pages Graham Hancock wrote in Underworld that was lambasted as horse-pucky by contemporary science?

"We hope to dive the site this year but, despite its importance, it's very difficult to get money to do it."

This always saddens me because, although not crucial to my life (or anyone else's), I would rather spend money on something like this than in many other areas where I actually resent spending, like the "palestinians" and UN.

Is there a place and process where contributions can be made?

Didn't read it. Not all of Hancock's stuff is kooky. He has some decent ideas.

does anyone know why sea levels change in 8-10k year timeframe

[GovernmentShrinker]

Ice age ended.

Karl Rove used his time machine to cause global warming then to help Haliburton(sp?)

[doc30]

Glaciers from the alst ice age melted. Britain was once connected to Europe by land and there was a Texas sized piece of land connecting Siberia with Alaska. The glaciers held a lot of water and when they metled, sea levels rose A LOT!.

I just finished it about 2 weeks ago. I thought he did a good job of stating fact/fiction/hypothesis in the book. Some of his stuff over the years has been a little out there, but he takes a lot of info and sorts it quite well and plausibly in this book. IMO.

when the rest of them melt
what are we looking at

This may interest you.

I just posted this on the Augustine volcano thread:

There is a volcano presently erupting in Antarctica that is melting so much ice that it is creating the largest flow of fresh water on earth.

I'm always confused by this. If water expands when it freezes, why wouldn't the sea levels lower when the polar ice melts? Is there enough ice on land to make the difference? Pardon my ignorance....

[sit-rep]

lol...

[sit-rep]

I immediatly thought the same thing. I'm starting to swing back his way more and more these days mainly because the "Scholars" are being found out wrong more and more.

[sit-rep]

My guess is even though the level drops in a glass of ice water, the additional water being "swung" to the equator would cause levels to rise during tides especially... But, I may be far from accurate...
