just think we have nothing to worry about because the sea levels will only rise a couple of millimeters per hundred years.


The sea level is moving at 3.2mm per year estimate because it is made up of multiple sources try looking at the breakdown of contributions before making stupid statements.

Greenland has contributed +0.14 to +0.28 mm/year of sea level rise over this period, while for Antarctica the uncertainty range is -0.14 to +0.55 mm/year.


Hmmmm greenland contributes max of 0.28mm to sea level and the island is lifting 0.6mm per year ... hmmm I wonder why, does your theory cover that.

Antarctica can never go under water this is not enough water not already in the ocean on the planet to do that.

Antarctica has the greatest average elevation of any continent at 1,860 metres (6,100 feet). The average elevation of North America is 720 metres (2,300 feet).

That is before including the uplift of the continent if all the ice melted.

Greenland could go under because of the contribution of ice melt from antarctica and other sources into the ocean.

Then you would be stupidly wrong gravity is not constant and thats exactly how GRACE works out changes. There are micro gravity changes around you all the time that you are blissfully unaware of. GRACE measures ice melt by monitoring the gravity changes (http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2012-036) so are you suggesting GRACE doesn't work and is wrong?

Grace even sees Earthquakes because they change gravity here is the 2004 sumatra quake



I am sorry that the actual science of gravity messes with your actual perception and you find it gibberish but it none the less accurate to a scientist.

I believe in "Evil, Bad, Ungodly fantasy science and maths", so I am undoubtedly wrong to you.
