But it ain't and it doesn't make any sense at all.

You're saying that it's sunny here, so it's sunny all over da world.

'splain please. No comprende.

LOL Funny.

So .... you appear to be saying that water is rising DRAMATICALLY in some parts of the world while it isn't rising at all in other places.

Is this what you're saying?

Question: Is sea level a constant all round the planet?

Question: Is the earth perfectly round?

I think you're right on target there, Gabriel.
Yup, the stewards are doing a crappy job and there's gonna be hell to pay.

I don't know the bible well enough to say that there is any passage that explains why God gave humans intelligence. But, I doubt it was for making money, the advancement of Capitalism, and the ignorance of the plight of fellow man.

Thanks for the straight answer.

Did someone say that coastlines weren't receding?

I'd actually been asking myself that since I was about 10 or so. My dad said 'no' as they had to use locks in the Panama Canal, but he didn't figure on the fact that they were going up, not down.

However, I did recently solve the puzzle, in that were there no moon, yes, sea level would be uniform world wide. As it is, it's currently the same at any two points in the triangulation between the moon the earth, but the rest is in flux, and those two points change as fast as the earth rotates.

And people wonder why I don't sleep at night......

for the second question, an easy bar bet to win would be to ask someone what point on earth is furthest away from the center of the planet. 99% of the populace will state the top of Everest; however, due to the rotation of the earth, it is slighly oblate, and as a result, the place furthest from the center of the planet is going to be the highest point along the equator.

One would think that if overall sea levels were rising, that they would be rising somewhat uniformly.

I'd like to see that solution.

I can see that IF AND ONLY IF, the sea level 'points' are equidistant from the line of volumetric center of earth, to volumetric center of moon. (isosceles triangle).

And I'd still like to see that solution.

so in essence, you can see, but you can't read?
