Is there any approximate figure for the amoumt of land reclaimed from the sea worldwide ?

Question

I ask this question in relation to climate change & the rising of sea levals around the world

Answer 1

Land erosion occurs all the time and is perfectly natural, it has nothing to do with global warming and climate change, and the sea levels haven't risen at all (At least for a few thousand years anyway) .

Don't believe everything that you see on TV or read in the newspapers, they will print any old c**p if they think they can make money out of it.

There is actually no evidence whatsoever that climate change is caused by man-made co2 emissions.

Answer 2

I dunno.. but if the world's heat increases more ice will melt so the sea level could rise..

but then.. as more ice melts.. the sea will get incredabally cold.. and then things could change bad.. and perhaps an ice age.. could be the earths own way to cool itself down when it gets too hot..

Answer 3

NONE.

Wow it hasent changed at all, moron. Global warming is just made up.

Answer 4

well i couldnt find anything from search, but wiki entry quite good as always;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_reclam...

yes these areas are very low lying and, along with areas previously saltmarsh drained for agriculture, will be vulnerable to sea level rises. here's a handy map showing what areas would flood at different rises; as you might expect, bangladesh, nederlands and east anglia get it first.
