Robin-H Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Do you know the exact quantity of the sea? I assume by 'quantity' you mean volume? We know the volume of the sea to a pretty accurate degree (1%) However, that question is completely irrelevant to measuring sea level rise, which you could do without knowing the volume of the sea at all. I can add water to a bucket and measure how much the water rises without knowing how much water is in the bucket.. Explain why you think you would need to know the exact volume of the sea in order to measure sea level rise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 I said that the models we have don't accurately make predictions for historical climate. Perhaps this entire topic is a bit too complex for you. If you can explain which part of climate history you think we cannot predict, or just post a link to the thing that you have read.

Explain why you think you would need to know the exact volume of the sea in order to measure sea level rise? Try getting on a bus with your bucket of water then predict where the next level on it's sides will be. How else would you know how much the sea has risen or fallen.

How does that relate to knowing the exact volume of the oceans (or bucket) anyway? If you're going to troll, at least be consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So tell us the exact volume of the sea, and how you intend to measure a moving quantity of water on a spinning ball influenced by tides and storms to a degree of a millimeter without guesswork.

El Cid Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 The Thames Barrier is a good, but only recent record of sea levels. If you count how often it was closed in its first 10 years(6), to the last 10 years(17). Its not very scientific, but its better than discussing a bucket of water on a bus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thames_Barrier#Barrier_closures_and_incidents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
