rising sea levels?

Question

Im doing an essay on global warming. I need help finding out if sea levels continue to rise, when will nova scotia (Canada) be flooded by the sea? this would be a really good opening to my project. PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

Depends on its height above sea level. How high is it?

Answer 2

You can use the interactive maps in the source to show what areas would flood if sea levels rose by different amounts, up to 14 meters. You can zoom in on any place and try different levels. Nova Scotia looks pretty safe. At 14 meters, some parts of Quinpool Road in Halifax would be flooded, as would all the docks, but 99% if the city would be high and dry. And 14 meters is WAY more than anybody is predicting sea levels will rise. Even 1 meter is more that most prediction for sea level rise in the next 100 years. It looks like Nova Scotia would not be bothered much at all by 1 a meter rise.

Answer 3

You state that "...if sea levels continue to rise..."

If you do some research, you will find that NOT to be the case. The doomsday people want you to believe the sea level will rise IN THE FUTURE. However, worldwide, there has been no substantive rise in sea levels (other than what is expected seasonally and naturally). Thus, they are not "continuing to rise". If they do, the concensus among climatologists is the rise will be measured in inches or centemeters, not feet and meters and will occur over decades, not months or a few years.

Answer 4

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2001 report estimates that "global mean sea level is projected to rise by 0.09 to 0.88 meters between 1990 and 2100". Sea level will also rise because as temperatures warm up the water expands.

Answer 5

I don't believe in the water rising. If you place an ice cube in a glass of water out of the fridge, the water will rise. take a measurement of that risen level and let the ice melt.. Once this has occurred take a glance at the level of water.. The level would not have changed as the volume in the glass is the same as if it were ice..... So in saying this I believe the world ice levels are at their peek already.with the water being dispersed for the ice already. Also with the ice melting to every 1000 tons that melt another 1000 tone of ice has formed..
Hope this has helped. Sorry if it dosen't its just my thoughts and practicality..

Answer 6

the rising sea levels have really hit small islands in the Pacific Ocean. I would start out by saying something like if you want to see the fate of Nova Scotia if we don't start making genuine attempts to stop polluting this planet. then show this article.

Answer 7

Hi. Any coastal area will be flooded to a height equal to the highest sea level reached. Not counting more severe storms, etc.

Answer 8

I believe that the most the sea will rise, according to a credible scientific study, is 30cms in the next 100yrs. There is abosulutely no way of predicting it however.

Answer 9

Al Gore says the seas will rise twenty feet. He's the world's meteorolgical expert isn't he?

Answer 10

did you already know "a 2005 study with the aid of a scientist named Ola Johannessen and his colleagues showing that the interior of Greenland is gaining ice and mass and that in the time of accordance to scientists, the Arctic substitute into warmer in the 1930’s than immediately." "The national Academy of Sciences checklist reaffirmed the lifestyles of the Medieval heat era from approximately 900 advert to 1300 advert and the Little Ice Age from approximately 1500 to 1850. the two a form of sessions happened long earlier the invention of the SUV or human business interest might have probably impacted the Earth’s climate. in certainty, scientists have faith the Earth substitute into warmer than immediately in the process the Medieval heat era, while the Vikings grew vegetation in Greenland" forget with regard to the scare mongers. They resemble chicken little greater suitable than than do scientists. regrettably there are various chicken littles around immediately
