When continental ice sheets reached their maximum extent during the last glacial period, they locked up roughly 6 million cubic miles of ocean water. That volume had to come from somewhere, and the evidence shows it came directly from the world's oceans. Sea level dropped at least 400 feet,...

In all seriousness, if all influential/rich people didn’t live on the coast, climate change wouldn’t have anywhere near the same amount of “urgency”

Now, the last vestige of that ice age, the Great Salt Lake, is drying in the Utah sun. Just like it has for about 15,000 years. White man first saw GSL about 250 years ago, and now demands the lake stop evaporating. Good luck!

Randall. Look forward to your presentation at the Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge in Newport Beach on September 26th at the Hyatt. What a line up!

That 450 foot rise in the ocean level became a story called The Great Flood.

“Understanding the scale of natural variability in Earth's climate system isn't about dismissing current concerns. It's about grounding those concerns in the full scope of what this planet is capable of.” 👌 well said

この視点は重要ですね。 温暖化対策や気候変動対策とは太陽光発電パネルを展開し続けることではなく、走れるガソリン車を捨てることでもなく、気候変動、今で言うなら温暖化によってどの程度の海面上昇や氷河の崩落が起きるかを化学多岐に予想し、それに見合った居住場所の変更など、人間の暮らし方を変えることが妥当なものではないでしょうか。自然をコントロールするのではなく、自然に向き合い、合わせること。

Solar Mass Ejection caused it.

The sun is also shrinking. Temperature fluctuations were on a quantum scale. The dinosaurs were breathing salt air.

Submarine Geomorphologists claim that structures like Monterey Canyon were carved by subsurface processes. Do you accept that as fact, too?

I agree. For us to assume we can pause the climate just bc we like the current temps and water levels is crazy thought. Our planet’s climate has changed constantly since it came into existence. It will continue to do so with or without us. We don’t control our planet’s climate.

Bullshit! Ele desaprendeu o que estudou na universidade? E a troca de energia? A evaporação, liquefação e solidificação?Parte dessa água evapora! Vira chuva em outro lugar. Não há provas de que o nível do mar aumente com derretimento de geleiras.

Something not taken into account is the return: some of the water froze again. This means that there used to be visible shorelines that later disappeared.

Check out Sholtz's star, HD 7977, and Gliese 710. All those events are ice age producers and have potential to involuntarily remodel the planet.

wait so how much did sea level drop total? i've read 120m but that seems wild

The continents were not there prior to the 7th c AD. First try to understand this fact.

We’re still in the Last Ice Age. This nuance matters.
