HELP!! Sea Level rise is gonna kill me... HELP!! PLEASE!!!!
Discussion
Remove all the stuff in the sea that has undoubtably caused the sea level to rise in the first place.IE remove ALL ships,fish,mammals,wrecks,oil pipelines,tunnels,swimmers,oil rigs,piers,jettys,man made islands and anything else you can find. The sea should drop by a few feet and the melting ice caps wont cause you any worries.
I was thinking about this the other day. In the middle of Australia was a massive inland sea called Lake Ayre. It's now as dry as a dry thing.
If a pipe line was run from say the Gulf of Carpenteria to Lake Ayre which is obviously below sea level and we filled it up, shirley the level of the sea would drop.
And as an added benefit Oz would have an inland sea again which would encourage wild life which would bring vegetation and rain to the inland and everyone wins and all the doom and gloom greenies can F off.
Sounds good to me or is it too simple?

Why stop at Oz...you could fill up that lake bed the TG boys drove across in Africa...and the salt flats in the US. Top idea - you should patent it.If a pipe line was run from say the Gulf of Carpenteria to Lake Ayre which is obviously below sea level and we filled it up, shirley the level of the sea would drop.

I saw this report on BBC world, and thought it was a terrible bit of reporting, the Reporter stood alongside the wall, with the top at waist height, put his tape measure on top of the wall and implied that the water would be 1 meter plus over the wall,
As the water was a good 6ft below the top of the wall even after the 1 meter increase there would be 2 to 3 feet margin.

t.
I think this is all bks.
I've got a little Zodiac that we take to Spain, and if we're anchored at the base of some cliffs in the Med (which has no tide so level always the same) doing a bit of swimming etc one can see at the base of the cliffs a sort of lip/indent where the water has been lapping and slopping against the rock for the last x million years.
Now that water is still lapping away in that same place despite all this st about the sea levels rising. It has been doing it in the same place since I've been boating so I'm not just making a one off observation at some freak moment. Do I believe the IPCC 
or my own eyes?

PLEASE HELP!!!
I live on the sea front on the west coast of England, and although we've had extensive storm protection investment (anyone who's visited Burnham On Sea must be in awe of our beautiful curved sea wall
) according to the man on the BBC 6 o'clock news this evening I should be thinking about moving inland, or at least selling my car to reduce my carbon foot print.
Experts have now calculated that apparently the sea level could rise by twice as much as previously calculated (how those expert calculations were presumably 100% inaccurate to start with I cannot imagine) but the rub is I am now looking at a possible 1 metre rise in sea level, and I was already struggling to think of how I was going to cope with a 0.5 metre rise as previously advised by the experts.
Worse than that, it was reported by the BBC (and demonstrated by the reporter standing on a sea wall with a tape measure)that some expert opinions suggest the rise may be as much as 2 metres. Oh st, I can't even deal with 0.5 let alone 2.
PLEASE, if there's anyone here that has any suggestions I would be very grateful. The town was flooded back in the early Eighties, just like the pictures the BBC showed on their report this evening demonstrated, with the wind blowing the sea over the wall. Oh God things don't look good then, should I be investing in sand bags perhaps?
No wait, forget the sand bags, I have a cunning plan. I'll sell my car, buy some energy saving light bulbs, errmm... what else? Oh god, yes I will turn the telly off and not just leave it on stand by, errmmm....HELP ME what else?
Oh st I can't think right now, but please any suggestions will be gratefully received PLEASE. I've lived here for 22 years and anything I can do to stop the sea rising and risking my home, I will do. PLEASE help!
I'll read all of your suggestions tomorrow, and I'll pass them all onto the BBC to read out to their viewers on tomorrow evenings 6 o'clock news. Thanks in advance all.
Alright fella? just want to say i don't really have an opinion of the rising sea levels and all that, i just want to say hi to a fellow person from B-O-S.I live on the sea front on the west coast of England, and although we've had extensive storm protection investment (anyone who's visited Burnham On Sea must be in awe of our beautiful curved sea wall

When Sea ice melts it contracts back to the volume that is already in the water so there will be NO RISE IN SEA LEVELS!!
HTH
What, you mean you agree with my science teacher at school who disagrees with world "experts"....HTH

Not withstanding the fact that temperatures have been falling in the last 10 years.
