global warming?

Question

will global warming cause the sea level to rise?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

If the earth warms, ice will probably melt and sea levels will rise provided addtional precipitation doesn't increase snow falls significantly. The earth has been generally warming for 6,000 years and the sea levels have been rising during that time. Sea levels are not static, they change all the time. Those that do not realize this or use it for scare tactics don't even have the most basic knowledge of geology. The sea levels have been rising relatively slowly for the last thousand years and despite the rhetoric, the rate is not increasing significantly. Gene wants to average what Gore says with what biased scientists say. Gore's prediction of 20 feet is utter irresponsible nonsense from a non scientists, and is typical of what passes for facts among the global warming alarmists.

Answer 3

Yes, of course.
The ice caps are already melting at the North and South poles. With the massive amounts of ice melting, the sea level will rise. If all the ice melted, the sea would rise 40 feet.
In the last 100 years, the sea has risen.
The charts show the sea level due to global warming so far.

Answer 4

Actually, the sea level should rise in the Atlantic ocean until it reach the desaturation level of the Thermoaline belt. After this level reach, the Thermoaline belt that carry warmed water to the north and cool the south continents, will stop functioning, thus interrupting this cycle of heat distribution. So it is believed that once this will happen, the north of the Atlantic will suddenly becomes much cooler (in Europe at least), and water will begin to freeze at lower latitude, thus stopping the sea rise in the Atlantic ocean at least. As for the rest of the world, equatorial areas will become hotter, and storm will get stronger all over the planet to replace the thermoaline belt, which should wipe out a lot of coastal cities in the process!

Answer 5

The global warming that most people today believe is a farcical fantasy. The only reason that so many scientists "seem" to support this is because this is the story that the politicos and major media have attached themselves to. The real inconvenient truth is that people may have contributed minutely to the production of "greenhouse gases" but our earth itself and it's natural processes contribute billions of billions the amounts of these "greenhouse gases" that are supposedly going to destroy the earth as we know it. Whatever the case may be, you will never know whether or not you have been lied to because while you may be doing everything possible to reduce your "carbon footprint" now, you WILL DIE long before anything truly noticable and extreme ever happens. Your government and the United Nations are seeking to destroy the society that you know, and you can jot down in your little journal to pass to your brethren that you helped them do it, for no good reason at all.

Answer 6

Yes, the warm air that is trapped inside the atmosphere is causing the water levels to rise.

Answer 7

Yes, Al Gore says 20 feet in 32 years. The science community says perhaps a foot in about 4 centuries. Take the average I guess. In fact, antarctica went down one dergree in the last 5 years.

Answer 8

Yes. In fact it is already having that impact. You can find several references to removal of some native island villages in the South Pacific due to this.

Answer 9

Yes, it already has. No one is willing to stop relying on fossil fuels so it's only going to get worse... Perhaps the dust cloud from a large volcanic eruption is just what we need to cool off our earth.

Answer 10

Yes, as ice melts from the antactic, the canadian archipelago, and greenland.
