And before you say it should be in 'climate change' read on.

I have always argued that a lot of/most of the so called rise in sea levels is
man made - literally 'man made'. Only today in the news they have launched
the worlds largest ship that displaces 134,400,000 cubic feet of water.
Now add this to god knows how many more cubic feet of water the rest of all
shipping afloat today, and the only place that sea/water levels can go is UP!

My question would be, 'If every single item that floats' was removed from the
water world wide, by how much would the sea/water level drop?

Remember, the must in total be a few billion tons floating world wide.

PS. Or Archimedes was wrong.

How accurate are these satellite measurements?

Almost the same thing using satellites but, on checking on four different make
GPS systems they all gave an altitude reading within 5' of 75' above sea level.


















Not bad considering we were sitting in a BOAT on a tidal river at the time.
