the climate is always changing you clown.

one day, again, there will be huge glaciers across the Continental US, and sea level will be meters lower.

I actually am studying a period in Earth's history where the entire middle of North America was underwater, and it was one of the warmest temps of recent times where there wasn't any continental glaciers. That's a lot of water, albeit the plate tectonic arrangement was a bit different, but high water levels have existed.


the reason it was underwater had little to do with sea level height, and much more to do with the lack of orgoneys that had occurred to N.America through the atlantic to that point.

Study Harder.

actually they aren't. look up the recent research, the rigs are concentrating open water predators and provide little refuge for the smaller organisms which make up a "reef".

the rigs to reef progrma was thought that the rigs themselves would have provided refuge for settling larvae.

Despite the settlement of some scleractinians, gorgonians, etc. they have done very poorly as settlement for larvae. they tend to congregate juveniles and older, providing opportune feeding for settling larvae due to the lack of effective refuge to this point.

The research is sound.

Wanna know why the rigs to reefs program was basically scrapped?

Unless this melts off rapidly, many deglaciated areas will gain altitude and stay above sea levels as the land rebounds due to weight of ice being removed.

WRONG again. Look up the formation and processes that formed the multiple deltaic lobes of the Mississippi River and come back when you have educated yourself.



You don't want to do this with me.

It's not like I'm going to cover every minute detail and exception on the off topic board of a sports forum. If it was the science board, maybe.

i'm sorry, claiming the formation of the bird foot delta is due to the rise/fall of sea level is flat out wrong.

In fact, it's so wrong it doesnt even make sense on the relative time scale of the bird's foot delta.

Mountain building event. He's talking about the Sevier Orogeny when the Kula and Farrlon plate collided with the North American plate making a retro-arc foreland basin, an area of low relief allowing seawater to inundate the middle continent.

Dude. I'm not going to defend myself when I was just generalizing the entire growth of the southern part of Louisiana, which was the last thing I listed.

I figured that had to be National Geo. Every article they put out now mentions how horrible global warming is making things. Regardless of original subject. Great pictures but they are a propaganda machine on that topic. And nobody thinks all the ice will melt; it's cool to think about but is not gonna happen.
