Will global warming raise water levels or is it just a naturaly occuring thing like scientists suggest?

Question

Scientist suggest the global temp will rise for a certain amount of years then go back to normal...But what is normal? Can we stop global warming from happening?

Answer 1

Global warming is just a government scandal. The earth is unbalanced just like anything else. Humans do not tip the scale. The temperature changes yes but it does so even without humans. The water is just rising from the last ice age. I know that seems a bit extreme but it takes about ten thousands years for a ice cap to melt. The last ice age was about fifteen thousand years ago.

Answer 2

"Global Warming" is completely normal. The only studies to indicate otherwise have been published in the last hundred years (actually much less).
"Normal" is purely just a guess when comparing it to the last 2 million years.
We are currently in approximately the middle of the cycle. The coast-line of Texas was at one time as much as 450 miles inland from what it is today as evidenced by fossilized sea creatures in the Permian Basin of west Texas. At another time it was around 50 miles off-shore from where it is today (Pleistocene Era).
Common sense will tell you that the humans that come up with all these ideas obviously were not around millions of years ago to witness and record the changes that occurred. The Earth is constantly changing and it probably has little to do with what we are doing any more than what nature does to itself such as with natural forrest fires or erosion.

Answer 3

We can not stop global warming in the next fifty years. Whether it is man made or natural doesn't matter. The oceans are rising and will probably rise another three feet. If it gets worse that this it could flood the entire state of Florida, Manhatten, etc.

Answer 4

The amount of water on Earth is constant, however, it is distributed differently depending on various factors. The hydrologic cycle is complex including water in the atmosphere, snow, above ground water resources (oceans, lakes, rivers - also see rainfall pattern), below ground aquifers, and water contained in plants (see deforestation, desertification) and animals.

Global warming is a complex issue.

Reading the popular media can lead a person to conclude that "global warming" is:
o- either a hoax to promote business opportunities, politicians agenda and scientists grant money.....
OR
o- a problem related to overpopulation, industrialization and fossil fuels whose solution options lie in solar power, wind power, geothermal power and nuclear fusion....

However, the correct answer may be altogether different:

NASA has released never-before-seen images that show the sun's magnetic field is much more turbulent and dynamic than previously known. The international spacecraft Hinode, formerly known as Solar B, took the images. Hinode was launched Sept. 23 to study the sun's magnetic field and its explosive energy. National Aeronautics and Space Administration scientists said the spacecraft's uninterrupted high-resolution observations of the sun are expected to have an impact on solar physics comparable to the Hubble Space Telescope's impact on astronomy. "For the first time, we are now able to make out tiny granules of hot gas that rise and fall in the sun's magnetized atmosphere," said Dick Fisher, director of NASA's Heliophyics Division. "These images will open a new era of study on some of the sun's processes that effect Earth, astronauts, orbiting satellites and the solar system." Hinode is a collaborative mission led by
the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and includes the European Space Agency and Britain's Particle Physics Astronomy Research
Council. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., managed the development of the Hinode's scientific instrumentation provided by industry and federal agencies.

>>> as regards alternative energy methods, I favor development of the technology for nuclear fusion using lunar Helium 3

Answer 5

what ever solid water is above water level would sink and melt. now if you scope out a map or imagine the quantity you'd have an idea how much existing water would rise.
