If Global warming is really happening....then why this?

Question

I live on the east coast, the Atlantic Ocean is my back yard. I can tell you for a fact the ocean levels are EXACTLY where they have been for a least the past 96 years...that's the year my grandfather built a concrete measure behind our house. It's to show high tide & low..........nothing has changed...not even

-------><------ this much.

yet I keep hearing about melting on polar icecaps, rising Oceans etc...............it's just not happening...why?

Answer 1

I totaly agree with blue martini. its all to make billions of dollars in taxes so every country  is lieing to get alot more money

Answer 2

Keep digging.  Independent critical thinking like this is good.

Answer 3

It&#039;s my back yard too - nothing&#039;s changed where I live either, mate.

I know the Outer Banks have shifted but it has nothing to do with a sea level rise.

Answer 4

The arctic melts and refreezes EVERY year--

Answer 5

it sure is interesting, how simple an awful lot of folks think this is.

for example, if it&#039;s warmer, then more water evaporates, and there&#039;s more rain.

in addition, rain patterns change, so that additional rain can be in different places.

(see the links below.)

however, i&#039;ve been to the east coast.

and there&#039;s no way, with a concrete measure, you could determine a change in sea level ==&gt;&lt;== that much.

in fact, you&#039;d not notice anything less than several inches.

with with waves and tides, it&#039;s just not possible.

Answer 6

Yes, the Artic will melt in 5 years.

But exciting news they may hve really discovered a planet that has life, on of Saturn&#039;s moons, may have water and hydrogen and the right temperature to support  sea life.

Answer 7

Because the carefully measured scientific data says your impressions are wrong.

Answer 8

Your observation is correct...... It&#039;s just not happening.

The doom &amp; gloomers keep rambling on about how oceans will inundate New York..... how the oceans will die....ad nauseum......  but they NEVER mention that CO2 levels AND Earth&#039;s temperatures were MUCH higher in the past and that life thrived at that time.

The AGW &#039;cause&#039; is all about fame, fortune, power.... and to great extent.... naivety.

Answer 9

This occurrence is because republicans are simply not educated.

Answer 10

gahh. im really starting to doubt global warming since i found out people thought there was global cooling in the 70&#039;s . . which was also a scam. it seems that earth is a bit closer this century, it&#039;ll probably even out in fifty years or so. .

Answer 11

Global warming is a liberal tax scam. It is not real.

Answer 12

The temperature in the polar regions are defiantly higher than they ever have been in recordable history. I use to live in Fairbanks Alaska and I went to the arctic circle via the Dalton Highway and I was about 350 miles from the glaciers and it was late September and I was wearing only short pants and short sleeves and It was about 65 degrees when it should be 30. Everyone in Fairbanks,AK told me it use to get 60-70 below by October and stay that way till  at least march or April in the 1980&#039;s  I&#039;ve heard accounts of people leaving there cars running 24/7 to keep the engine blocks from freezing solid in the 1980&#039;s now people don&#039;t have to do it because the temperature stays around -35 below and only gets down to to the -50 for a day or 2 at a time.   I however don&#039;t see the detrimental effects of the weather change. I seen moose bears,foxs, wolfs and they looked pretty healthy to me. The fish aren&#039;t dying so I don&#039;t think temperature change will be the end of the world.   Besides the arctic ice is in the water and if it melts it wont displace any more water since it;&#039;s already in the water. Global warming people don&#039;t point that out and they also don&#039;t mention the fact that the Antarctic which is the south poll is not melting like the north pole.The Antarctic is land  and if it were to melt then it would cause alot of other land to be swallowed up but. But it would also uncover new land under all the ice in the south pole.

Answer 13

The arctic melts and refreezes EVERY year--

...with less ice and glacier than the year before

Answer 14

look, i  know alot and i want to say that there are things that man will never know.  where did life start?  is there a god?

the earth goes through cycles.  the last ice age ended at the dawn of man.  there have been many ice ages before and there have been many warmings also.  this is just the earths cycle.  i hate went people say &quot;what about the polar bears&quot;  its called evolution,  the strongest lives on to reproduce and inherit the earth.

its a cycle, don&#039;t worry we&#039;ll be fine( if u can stand it a few degrees warmer)

--P.s. --

if u get hit by a storm and half of ur family dies.... don&#039;t move back in. nature is unstoppable, put ur walls up but it will happen again.  man can not control nature, we live by its laws

okay

Answer 15

You&#039;re kidding, right?

Tides on the east coast range from about 2 feet at Key West to over 10 feet in Maine. So twice a day you&#039;re going to see a few hundred times more variance than that -- and that&#039;s assuming your homemade tide gauge correctly damps wave action. Then there&#039;s spring tides, neap tides, and lunar and solar perigees to consider too.

All that, and you&#039;re absolutely sure you would have been able to detect a sea level change that amounts to about 4 inches over the last 96 years? And you&#039;re absolutely certain that your tide gauge has been unaffected by earth movement, accident, construction work, or vehicle strike?

Answer 16

cause global warming does not exsist. and  as one person put it ,put ice in a cup and measure where it was when it melts ,its at the same level.

   there is no change in the levels

Answer 17

Global Warming is the temperature that the earth has over its whole surface for one compete year

.. .. ..

What one part looses is another&#039;s gain in temperature

.. .. ..

And one degree difference for one year may not be felt by all the earth in the same way

.. ... ..

Weather patterns will be changed cause of the Jet stream direction and speed and height

.. .. ..

And the oceans currents will not be the same in speed and path they follow

.. .. ..

El Nino is a good example as to how weathers can be effected by the change in the oceans temperature

.. .. ..

And some oceans currents are critical for some countries to be consistent Greenland is a good example

.. .. ..

And this all this is cause by one degree hotter for the whole year for the entire earth

.. .. ..

Because remember what one part of the earth looses in its temperature is another&#039;s gain by three degrees or more and that can be dangerous

.. .. .,.

The less icebergs to reflect the suns energy is more of that energy absorbed by the oceans to effect them

.. . ... ..

And if it get bad enough

.. .. ..

The currents of the oceans will not be strong enough to cycle oxygen in  the &quot;Deep Trenches&quot; of the ocean alive with life

And it will get worse to the point of having dead oceans on all he earth

.. ..

Even though the first 400 feet has some oxygen in it

.. .. .

Answer 18

Because it was a lie made up by a few people to make money.
