I went to the local wharf last week, The water was still where it was 50yrs ago. I also visited approx 20 Boat ramps last month,
most over 50 yrs old, not one of them has had to be extended.
PS. I believe the climate is changing
Oh almost forgot, for the last 30yrs I have crossed over a tidal creek daily, via a Bridge that is over 100yrs old. Now I dont get the tape measure out, but there has been no visible difference in the tidal extent.
If the sea level is rising, why would the water go aw2ay? Or the boat ramps need extending?
Billions of tonnes of ice melting into the sea might ameliorate sea level rises in the short term as water expands with heat and the ice will cool it down for a while. Until it melts. But medium term, more water in the sea means the sea level will be higher. That is not open to opinion; it's simple physics.
What, not when I went to school it didn't.
What didn't? All liquids expand when heated. Water expands even more when it solidifies, unlike most other liquids, but while it's a liquid it acts like a liquid.
You should have gone to a school that taught science. Or, put a warm plastic bottle of water in the fridge. Check a few hours later. The bottle will be crumpled. Due to the contraction of the contents as heat reduces. Simple, practical, easy to test physics.
