The highest rate of Leftist data crunching appears to be taking place along the U.S. East Coast.

Look at thes seal level for the last 500 million years.

It has NEVER been flat or stable. Why do we expect it to be stable now?

“How does that work?”
That's simple.
Zippo said if he was elected the oceans would begin to recede.
This is just one more thing he's screwed up.

This gives us a big trade advantage. Ships from Europe have to sail up hill to get here and ours can cost down hill.

Seth, you have been spinning for the AGW/IPCC scam for sometime:
1) Who took the measurements of earth’s sea levels in 1950.
2) The earth’s sea levels have been rising naturally since the last major ice age. If there is a rise, how do you know it’s not natural.
3) What proof do you have any rise is causeed by AGW. Other than political proof.
4) Since the Emails exposed the AGW/IPCC scientists had to DOCTOR the data to make CO2(man)seem responsible for any perceived warming, WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE ANY OF YOUR BS.

To: DoughtyOne
Heres something I think folks are missing.
I agree that water will find its own level, but heres another aspect of this that the Gorebal Worming nuts are missing.
If water rises in one area, it must therefore sink in another. The claim of the rising sea water with global warming is caused be melting ice on lands like Greenland and Antarctica. They are not claiming the same volume of water moving, but an increasing volume in total.

Evacuate Rochester...
Holder's people. You'd get the same results as New Orleans and Katrina.
I've been saying for 30+ years they ought to bulldoze the city into the lake and start over.
Saint Lawrence River "reverse flow" would do the same thing, just in the opposite direction.

Same for the west coast as well.

Trying to catch up with California where they declared it was rising fastest the other day. As others have said, beach erosion. Scientists have said so in regards to rising waters along the California coast. Beaches have been eroding, the sand gets taken to the seabed under the water at the shore and makes the surf come in faster and takes bigger chunks of the shoreline. Lots of homes on cliffs are losing land and in danger. Has nothing to do with so-called global warming; this beach erosion is a natural process.

I THINK this might be the explanation:
Warm water expands more than cooler water. If the Atlantic on the Eastern Seaboard is warmer, the water there will be “bigger.” Yes this bigger water will flow out of the Atlantic and cool elsewhere, but cooler water will then also flow into this warm zone and expand again, keeping the water level constantly higher.
Don’t hate me— I’m just trying to clarify what I think the theory is.

How can it rise more in one place than another? Maybe the Eastern coast is sinking? That's the only thing that makes sense to me.

Warm water expands
Best info I could find is that in a hot water tank, volume increase half gallon in a 40 gallon tank from 90 degrees to 140 degrees, that is .013 percent. NOTE THAT IS A 50 DEGREE INCREASE. Some one with better math skills can work this out for ocean volume increase for ocean for 1 degree. then convert volume increase to sea level increase.
In searching for “how much does water volume increase for every temp degree increase” the answer from a lib site was 9% which is the increase in volume for water freezing. facts don't matter to libs.

Sea level has already risen 2 feet as of 2000.
In another 10 years it will have risen 10 feet. /sarcasm
To: thackney
I expected to see that sort of response, but then there’s the replenishing of the polar ice-pack. So where did the water go down as that transpired?
If new record highs in the summers are proof of Gorebal Worming, what are record lows in the winter? Is it proof of Gorebal Cluing?

Since we are a lot fatter than we used to be, perhaps we are displacing more as we swim?Let's test your theory.
