    When ice on land melts the resulting water flows into the ocean.
    When water heats up, it expands.

    These are the two primary causes of the sea level rise we have observed.

    We've measured the ice melt in multiple ways. It's between 500 and 1000 billion tons per year.

    Human-caused climate change isn't open to debate, it's an observed fact.

    This does not change water level at all, assuming that salinity of ice is same as of water and ice is at 0C. Call Archimedes :)
    Well, as freshwater is less dense than salt water and old ice is mostly free of salt, then melting it actually does rise ocean level a bit.

    (Other causes, pointed by LeeJay, affect water level more of course.)

    As I said earlier, I would love to believe you as it's certainly possible to build a house on your own. But nothing you're currently posting really stacks up. Your attitude to building regulations simply doesn't equate to someone who builds a yacht for commercial use. BTW I've been in the building trade long enough to know the familiar refrain of those that do the most shocking work.

    Unsurprsingly, you didn't even try to answer my question about the whole world's glaciers 250 years ago. Instead, once again, you simply post things that you want to believe. Can you tell us which scientists reckon the sea is rising due to ice shelves melting? What scientists know is that ice shelves melting is evidence of warming, and it's an ecological issue in the way it impacts the organisms that live there.

    Let's get this out of the way: You can blather on as you wish, but your postings here fail to illustrate any expertise in the subject, so I regard them as rubbish.

    And yet you still haven't posted anything that proves you studied meteorology beyond watching the weather channel or that you have had non stop rain in your area.

    my first house i built at 22 yo an lifting my first yacht over the roof from my backyard at 27 yo. you havent been in the trade long enough or need to open your eyes 🤔

    All of that might or might not be true but is irrelevant to the fact you haven't posted anything that proves you studied meteorology, as you claimed, beyond watching the weather channel or that you have had non stop rain in your area, also as you claimed.

    I love reading these.
    science.nasa.gov/science-research/earth-science/flip-flop-why-variations-in-earths-magnetic-field-arent-causing-todays-climate-change/

    In the past 200 years, Earth’s magnetic field has weakened about nine percent on a global average. Some people cite this as “evidence” a pole reversal is imminent, but scientists have no reason to believe so. In fact, paleomagnetic studies show the field is about as strong as it’s been in the past 100,000 years, and is twice as intense as its million-year average. While some scientists estimate the field’s strength might completely decay in about 1,300 years, the current weakening could stop at any time.

    anyone like to un-rap this 😂

    What's to unwrap? If you have any specific questions, someone will be able to answer them I am sure.

    you cant see any contradictions in this cut and paste 🤨

    I really don't. Can you spell out what you believe to be a contradiction? By the way, you should put cut and pastes in italics for clarity (I added the italics in the quote above).
