If average ocean levels rose by 10 cms could high tide be up by one meter in Ishtmus of Chignecto?

    ??

    I'm sure you aren't opposed to chapter books.

    You were mocking the idea of referring to science?

    Science?
    I was mocking the idea of referring to the Bible and fake science.

    This other discussion might just get you interested in this other angle:

    Global Warming and Environment: Rejecting Alarmism and Focusing on Concrete Improvements


    Can Muslims, Christians, Hindu's and Jews all unite around the fulfillment of an ancient Islamic prediction for the Last Hour?
    This obviously reminds me of Isaiah chapter 35 and..... .of an alternative theory on stabilization of the climate put forward by a New Mexico biologist and coach:

    Done wisely this should produce an economic boom in the Islamic nations as their nations are turned green..... which should lead to refugees returning home from Sweden...............

    You should read about the groups you tout.

    Gatestone is an antiMuslim hate group that has perpetrated lies such as the idea that there are "nogo" zones in Europe government under Sharia law by unelected Muslims.

    They had to retract that one. But, it is not the only such nonsense.

    Also, Bolton, the war mongering operative in the US government who strongly backed the conquest of Iraq and has proposed multiple other wars was a significant member of this group up to the point where Trump made him part of his administration (from which he has since been fired).


    Let's not give oxygen to groups like this.

    Ok... now we have something specific to go with......
    if average ocean levels are up by two inches, five centimeters over these past eleven years..... are high tides up by twenty inches or more in the eastern area of the Bay of Fundy or in Anchorage Alaska?

    I have no idea what this means for the Bay of Fundy - that's going to depend on studies of that one location, it's geography, it's history of tides, etc. I would guess that higher sea level could cause the huge tidal differences in that location to be lower or higher, depending on geography.

    But more importantly, I'd like to point out that we've had this "specific" on ocean level for a long time. And, satellite measurement is not ending nor is it the only method being used.

    TOPEX/Poseidon was launched more than 25 years ago.

    There was a Jason 1 as well as Jason 2, which has been in place for 8 years. Jason 3 was launched in 2016.

    These missions tend to be created and operated by more than one nation. It's not just the USA, so any claims of conspiracy would need to be broadly multinational as well as affecting all types of measurement being done by those working in oceanography, geology, atmosphere, space, etc. - a constraint that makes such a conspiracy impossible.

    One exciting thing about the advent of satellite measurement of Earth is that it has confirmed surface measurements of the effects of climate change that have come from the numerous other methods of measurement. And, that includes sea level, validating measurements that go much further back in history.

    So, we have had serious record of sea rise for many years.


    Sorry for responding so much on the "now that we have specifics" thing, but there are those who actually believe that specifics are new or possibly even so far unachieved objectives.

    I had previously read that ocean levels were up by four to eight inches over this last century but......
    to have a number for this last eleven years for worldwide average ocean levels is especially useful because of the caliber of the research that
    I know was done along the Fundy in this last decade or so. .
