Re: Rising sea levels - The greatest lie ever told
I still don't want to live near the coasts for the simple reason of a major earthquake causing a major tsunami.
I don't believe that the seas are rising because of global warming. Even if they were, it would be a gradual thing over years. It's the sudden wave I am concerned about. http://runtsrantpage.com/pages/tsunami.html |

Re: Rising sea levels - The greatest lie ever told
How can it be a lie when the other planets are warming too?
It's just as dangerous to call something a lie as it is to call it the truth. I think that we really don't know as much as we think we do. |

Re: Rising sea levels - The greatest lie ever told
I think it works both ways. When water freezes it expands because of the transformation into chrystalline structure, and when liquid, thermal expansion takes place. Just a guess tho.

Re: Rising sea levels - The greatest lie ever told
Yep, fortunately floating already, so shouldn't increase the sea level, but a real indication of the rising temps down there. And the speed at which they're rising.
