Question

How does climate affect the sea level..?

Answer 1

Heretic you are phrasing yourself above the educational level of the boy scientists we are dealing with here. Rebound is a factor only known by geographers and oceanographers, climatologists education stops just below that of weather girls, they never get the complicated stuff!

No I changed my life style to keep from getting ripped off by the oil companies that are funding this AGW scam for higher profits. Follow the money and see who are the only ones with good profits right now and then you will know where the money to keep the scam going is coming from. Global warming is caused by solar activity period. From the 1850s through 1940 we had a noticeable warming fueled by a spike in sunspots. The warmest year here was 1934, which was cooler than the average during the MWP. Then through the 40s and 50s it cooled a little bit as Co2 levels rose dramatically. It warmed slightly in the early 60s and then cooled again in the 70s bringing on the great Hansen’s first appearance on the world stage promoting Co2 as a global cooling gas that was going to drive the world into the next ice age and starve or kill most of the worlds population.

Then just as this was getting off the ground the sun spot activity jumped again and things started warming up again. So on the advice of Al Gore Mann and Hansen rewrote their whole scenario to match his alarmist book and altered the NASA temperature records to coincide with Co2 levels. This heating period ended in about 2000 with the hottest year of the cycle in 1998 well below the 1934 record year. Since then low solar activity has allowed cooling to set in and real scientists are watching carefully to see what direction temperatures are going to do. Recently Hansen, Gore and some of the other alarmists have admitted to 20 years or more of cooling before it starts warming again, but they at this point are guessing the same as anybody else!

Answer 2

Well when the weather gets hot it melts the glaciers and ice caps. When the glaciers and ice caps turn into water they flow to the sea/ocean and make the sea/ocean level rise which causes humans to loose land.  

Answer 3

The warming climate we have is causing sea levels to rise, slowly but definitely.  Here's the data, and a nice graph.

Don't be fooled by the temporary leveling out we're seeing now, note that the same thing happened in 1999-2000.  Short term weather can slow things down for a little while.

The two reasons it happens are that ice on land (like Greenland) melts and runs into the ocean, and that warm water expands a little.

Answer 4

Currently mostly to do with expansion and contraction with some areas having rebound effects. One pole looses(Arctic), while the other hemispheric pole gains(Antarctica).

ed: Rebound is when ice melts and the land rises. A compensatory factor.

ed: (Charles), is sad to see so many advocates denounce Homeostasis. It's a fundamental process that is on going in the biosphere. I'm very old schooled, but I haven't seen any revelations from the other side. That tells me to stick to the fundamentals.

Answer 5

During ice ages, water built up as ice over continents.  Sea level went down and people could actually travel between continents on "land bridges"  

Answer 6

global warming melts the glaciers & glaciers r made of water & the water will pour into the sea rising the sea level

Answer 7

The way country`s pull fish and whale`s out of the Ocean, the sea level should be going down

Answer 8

The hotter is gets - the more ice polar melts - and when that ice melts the sea level rises. It goes from floating ice to water and adding more water equals a rise in sea level.  

Answer 9

When the weather is freezing and may cause water to freeze even more in the North and South Pole, then when the sun comes it melts making ice melt and the sea to rise.

Answer 10

Depends. If you are referring to Global Warming, which may or may not be a hoax, it would affect them in the sense that if polar ice caps (basically giant glaciers) melt, they are going to increase sea levels significantly, putting coastal cities in danger of extreme flooding. I think it's a hoax though.
