I think we should increase whaling and stop kids from throwing stones into the sea. Any more ideas?

  1. Cool the earth so more of it freezes :)


  2. Dig tunnels to places that are currently below see level eg the dead sea, Death Valley etc and let them fill up.

  3. if every human and animal on the earth all drank a pint more of water in a day than they normally do, problem solved!!!

  4. If we all stopped peeing in the sea it might help

  5. Pull the plug at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

  6. Believe it or not, much of the water in the oceans and seas was made by mammals, including humans--over the millenia. That's because water vapor and CO2 are the 2 primary byproducts of aerobic respiration, or oxygen intake:

    Aerobic Respiration:

    C6H12O6 + oxygen --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy (ATP)

    Combustion adds even more water to the atmosphere whenever fuels are burned (think of all the cigarettes being lit), and whenever fires start--natural or man-made fires.  All fuels (ethane, methane, propane, butane, gasoline, jet fuel, etc) produce water vapor and CO2 as the 2 primary byproducts of combustion:

    Combustion:

    Butane C4H10 + 6.5 O2 --> 4 CO2 + 5 H2O

    So the more farm animals, pets and furry creatures (squirrels, gerbils, hamsters, lorises, lemurs, dogs, cats, horses, etc) respiring on a planet, the more water vapor and CO2 there'll be.  And here's the clincher, the more sugary foods and oils consumed, the more water vapor and CO2 added to the atmosphere.  The more sports activities on this planet, the more water and CO2 given off.  Now you know why we have such a problem with flooding. The flooding will continue unabated and worsen over time since the Earth can be likened to a fishbowl, it just fills up with water unless some of it is removed.

    Flooding not only kills people, it also drowns farm animals, destroys crops and increases food prices and may spark an increase in the mosquito population.

    Write to your space agency to ship potable bottled water to the moon and Mars.  Petition them to build "dynamos" to protect us from cosmic radiation, and to build an "atmosphere" to protect us from uv, gamma and x-rays.  Petition fast food chains to build restaurants on Mars and other moons.  160+ moons have been discovered so far in our very own solar system.  Terraforming and bioforming a globe takes time, it doesn't just happen by itself.

  7. Think how much sea there would of been if there wasn't any sponges!!

  8. we could pump the water to african nations and other nations that have water shortages

  9. theres no way just 1 person can get a placard and say stop cutting the trees

    a start will be to stop cuting down trees and get a subsitute for fossil fuels

  10. Get lots of kids with really really big spades to go out and dig and dig and dig so the sea bed gets lower.

  11. Drain the ocean and put it on mars.

  12. Stop drunken brits from peeing in the sea.

  13. I have not seen any increase in sea levels and I doubt that any one else has. Yes there are places on earth that the sea level appears to be rising, but there is also places where sea levels appear to be receding. A lot of this can be put down to land levels rebounding or resettling after the last ice age. Sea levels rising is a myth until the evidence proves it is actually happening and its not some climatologist plugging this myth to get funding or some green loony jumping on the fashionable band waggon between smoking another splith.
