2,422,299,216,892,806 gallons per inch of sea level change by my figures, based on 139,382,879 square miles of ocean surface. This assumes the areal extent of the ocean would not increase with a rise in sea level, which is not the case at all.

The estimated volume is somewhere between 3-4 trillion. One should also consider the fact that "creating" new mountains in the form of sky scrappers is contributing to a shift in the natural elements. It is not just green house gases or cow infarction! How else then was there an Ice age? It's a natural shift and the rantings of alarmists cannot always be accepted as absolute truth. Otherwise they live on this same planet and have known for at least 50 years what they claim is going on and would quickly change to wind, solar and other alternatives. It's all about those who have lots of money and those who don't. Did you know that ethanol is more dangerous than regular gasoline? Something to think about.

A lot! I estimated about 3,539,954,336 cubic miles
I calculated the volume of the earth, assuming a 4000 mile radius, and using the equation for the volume of a sphere: 4/3*pi*radius^2. And then I calculated the volume with 25 feet added to the radius, which makes the radius ~4000.0047. I subtracted these two values and then multiplied by .70 to account for the 70% coverage of the earth by water.

"Ocean weather", as I like to call it, is the
reason the average income-earner does
not want oceanfront real estate. It isn't
realistic to have a house or structure on
the beach, even though so many people
do it. You are usually so well-off that
you don't mind risking the money. I'd be
I'd be happy to have a cottage or trailer
a few blocks from the beach. And if it
is a wooded area, you have a natural
shield against high winds.
Other than its value as a scientific question,
I'm not interested in anything but
the 25 foot high waves. They spell impending
disaster. I want to be a LONG way from
the beaches before all **** breaks loose.

did they also tell you how many hurricanes we are going to have this year because they use the same computer model to predict global warming and they just tell you how high the water will rise if the polar ice caps melt. But if lakes and rivers freeze over every winter in Minnesota and Canada then you dont have to worry cause the ice caps wont melt

Don't believe everything that you hear in the media. There have been so many different sea level rise quotes (including Al Gore) that it looks like its a bunch of lotto numbers.

well that could flood som parts.... just wait, every day instead of us trying to slow down global warming they predict more disasters are gona happen wen its in effect..how about we try to slow it down instead of them trying to guess wats gona hapen
