    If you believe in the Bible, why should you care? In the Bible, God said he will never flood the world again.

    If the Bible is true and God is in charge of the climate, this seems like a ridiculous project which will not affect what God decides to do with the climate even one bit.

    I am actually not worried about the entire world being flooded but a one meter rise in ocean levels could produce
    twenty to perhaps eighty million climate change refugees in Bangladesh alone.........
    and if humanity decides to invest in turning deserts green.........
    that severe of an increase in ocean levels, in theory, could perhaps be prevented??????

    I'm Canadian and our severe climate causes us to worry about people down the road more than many
    people do who deal with a much more mild and predictable weather patterns.

    M. P. Bill Casey... President Trump has a 4.3 trillion dollar problem....



    I live only a hundred miles or so from the Bay of Fundy which forces me to give this question more thought and attention that somebody else would tend to do........ unless they perhaps lives in Anchorage, Alaska or New Orleans.



    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...ten-cms-3-or-4-inches-could-high-tide.543690/


    If average ocean levels rose by eight to ten cms (3 or 4 inches) could high tide...

    ... rise by one meter in the Isthmus of Chignecto in Nova Scotia, Canada?

    This question is logical because the geography of Canada's Bay of Fundy produces the world's highest tides. In my part of Nova Scotia in Guysborough County there is very little funnelling of tidal waters......... so high tide is only about one to one point five meters above low tide.

    In the eastern area of the Bay of Fundy high tide levels are up by ten to fifteen meters.


    Although the context of this verse is negative, (The Tower of Babel incident)... there is a positive side to this verse as well:


    Genesis 11:6 "And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."


    .... but of course......


    Ecclesiastes 10:19 "A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things."

    Let's hope not too much longer. I ain't getting any younger and really want to see the show.

    Those inches add up though. There are parts of Miami (not just Miami either, this is just my 1st hand experience) that flood up to 2 block inland at high tide now, and if projections hold, that tidal flooding will reach the airport (aka the entire city) in 50 years. A few inches averaged can be feet added to high tide and storm surge to say nothing of saltwater intrusion into aquifers. As glaciers melt and thermal expansion becomes ever more pronounced we're going to start seeing cities and islands disappearing. We're talking 500+ years mind you for the worst case scenario but it's something that's already having an effect. And that's on top of acidification, coral, plankton and incet die offs, changing rain patterns, ect. Life is going to start sucking in 40-100 years for anyone not rich.

    the diminished rainforests is a multi-fold issue, on one hand they are removing less co2, on the other they are adding less o2... ergo the ratio/concentration of co2 to 02 is increasing because of it. it's not the only cause, but this effect needs to be accounted for because it is playing a role, there are fewer and fewer 'scrubbers' (filters)

    My theory...... and my apologies to the degree that I am incorrect.......
    is that there are gifted psychics in all nations and cultures and i take
    an ancient Islamic prediction seriously and I do suspect that money will soon be made abundant.......

    and the deserts even of Saudi Arabia and other Islamic nations will be turned green largely through mega-scale
    desalination of ocean water that is becoming more and more cost effective.


    Megascale Desalination
    The world’s largest and cheapest reverse-osmosis desalination plant is up and running in Israel.
    Availability: now

    Dennis, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but no level of desalination would have a measurable effect on ocean level rise. At best they would temporarily make a small swath of desert wet and make a lake/river system that then fed back into the ocean. This idea fits nicely into your NDE realm however as it also encompasses great imagination.

    Geo Thermal Happens.
    And that is the "wild card" ! & !


    Flowing water under Antarctic ice.

    Arctic and the heat of the North American & Eurasian tectonic plates clashing. Splitting Iceland.


    Plus geothermal works both ways.
    Warm Up and Cool Down.

    :eekeyes: is there no certainty?

    Deus vult
    and all that.

    Climate changes, just like the weather.

    Wow!!!!!!

    Truly informative..... thank you for this!

    Dr. James Hansen referred to a time when temperatures rose by
    about three degrees and ocean levels rose by twenty meters or more over four centuries. I assume that he means a little over ten thousand years ago?

    Actually... Algeria alone is desalinating over two million cubic meters daily in their fifteen major desalination plants.

    Any nation that introduces beavers and allows them to do their duty will have an environment where it takes a lot longer for rain water to make it all the way back to the ocean.

    There is an ever increasing quantity of water on the Planet.
    Its created at the poles, and piles up in the form of snow and ice.
    The Arctic is an ocean, its the only reason you dont see the additional water.

    https://www.space.com/15139-northern-lights-auroras-earth-facts-sdcmp.html

    Heres a 2.5 hour video of the creation of new water in our atmosphere.


    Dont listen to ************. Theyre after your money.

    Now I personally am unaware of a case for the creation of new water......
    my idea was that H2O was melting off the land based Greenland Ice Pack.... the world's land based glaciers......
    and generally ending up frozen on top of Antarctica as soon as clouds carrying water are blown over that continent?????

    Very interesting indeed!

    Could it be coming from within the core of the earth?

    Could it be created as sunlight energy or other types of energy hit the earth?

    Thank you for commenting........
    I am of the belief that climate can be changed in sizeable areas of the world and that rain in due season can even return to major parts of the Middle East.....but deliberately desalinating ocean water on a large scale can be helpful to get this process going almost like priming a pump.

    Both Gore and Obama don't seem to be worried about it, they both bought multi-million dollar homes on the beach.

    There is some good news..... as well as some bad news on this topic.....


    Warming waters in western tropical Pacific may affect West Antarctic Ice Sheet

    Rutgers study finds weather patterns that may influence global sea-level rise
    Date:
    June 13, 2019
    Source:
    Rutgers University
    Summary:
    Warming waters in the western tropical Pacific Ocean have significantly increased thunderstorms and rainfall, which may affect the stability of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and global sea-level rise, according to a new tudy.

    There is no threat to our coastal cities.
