Max: Time travel? I saw how Canuk interpreted Paul's writings, but where do you get time travel (retroactive cooling?) out of this?

So, do you think, "Back to the Drawing Board," means they erase everything and start over; or do they go back to it and try corrections and additions?
Occasionally science erases everything, but usually just modifications are required to make advances.
...meanwhile....
Did you know that man now stores about as much water in reservoirs as the amount of (missing) predicted sea-level rise? Where did I read something like that recently?
where can I read about this?
this sounds like something I would be interested in...

Impact of Artificial Reservoir Water Impoundment on Global Sea Level
B. F. Chao,* Y. H. Wu, Y. S. Li
By reconstructing the history of water impoundment in the world's artificial reservoirs, we show that a total of 10,800 cubic kilometers of water has been impounded on land to date, reducing the magnitude of global sea level (GSL) rise by –30.0 millimeters, at an average rate of –0.55 millimeters per year during the past half century. This demands a considerably larger contribution to GSL rise from other (natural and anthropogenic) causes than otherwise required. The reconstructed GSL history, accounting for the impact of reservoirs by adding back the impounded water volume, shows an
essentially constant rate of rise at +2.46 millimeters per year over at least the past 80 years. This value is contrary to the conventional view of apparently variable GSL rise, which is based on face values of observation.
