So Now Global Warming is Causing Ocean Levels To Sink?

In 2006 Al Gore told us that man-made global warming was melting the polar ice caps and causing the ocean levels to rise. He promised us that by now Miami and New York City would be under water. As you have probably noticed both of those cities are high and dry, but the crisis isn’t quite over yet. It turns out that global warming is actually making the ocean levels sink, which is pretty convenient or Al Gore might look like he’s a lying sack of crap.

In the 12 years since Gore’s factually-challenged An Inconvenient Truth was released, much has happened. Global warming became “climate change” and the polar ice caps and ocean levels have remained consistent. If you are one of those people who has a hard time believing in global warming because every doomsday prediction has fallen flat, Newsweek is about to rock your world.

THE OCEAN FLOOR IS SINKING UNDER THE WATER WEIGHT FROM MELTING GLACIERS, AND IT’S AS BAD AS IT SOUNDS

That headline is in ALL-CAPS so it must be true. Just check out this hard science if you still aren’t convinced:

So much extra water is being added into the world’s oceans from melting glaciers that the ocean floor is sinking underneath its increasing weight. This ocean floor deformation also means we have miscalculated just how much ocean levels are rising and the problem could be far worse than previously believed.

Over the past 20 years, ocean basins have sunk an average of 0.004 inches per year. This means that the ocean is 0.08 inches deeper than it was two decades ago. While this small fragment of an inch may not seem much, oceans cover 70 percent of our planet, making the problem bigger than it seems at an initial glance.

At this point the skeptic in you must be wondering exactly how “scientists” could accurately measure the depth of the ocean and come up with the figure that it is .08 inches deeper than it was 20 years ago. Well, they used math and you can’t f*ck with math homey.

…researchers explain how they used a mathematical equation known as the elastic sea level equation to more accurately measure the ocean floor. This allowed them to see how much the bottom of the ocean floor has changed from 1993 to 2014.

If this way of using math to measure the depth of the ocean is new, how can they compare it to 20 years ago when they weren’t using the “elastic sea level equation” to gauge the ocean floor? If I started measuring my child at age 22, I could not possibly make an accurate comparison to when he was 2 if I didn’t keep the data from that time.

And if you think that doesn’t make sense, in this very same article in which it is stated that oceans are sinking, oceans are also rising:

All the water on the planet today is all the water that has ever existed on the planet, but not all water is in its liquid form. Recently, rising temperatures have caused much of the frozen water on the planet’s glaciers to melt and join the ocean as liquid. This mass melting ice rising sea levels, a problem whose consequences we’re already starting to see. The first to notice the repercussions of rising sea levels are those who live in coastal areas. Rising waters mean less land to live on. In addition, more water in the ocean means that ocean storms, such as hurricanes, have the potential to be stronger and more devastating (my emphasis).

If that seems like a complete load, that’s because it is, but is actually consistent with global warming “science.” The climate cultists claim that global warming causes frigid winter weather so if hot means cold it stands to reason that rising sea levels are caused by sinking oceans.

This latest piece of climate science has it all: not only does it explain why we haven’t seen the rising sea levels we were promised it also tells us why weather events like hurricanes, which have been happened long before liberals invented global warming, are actually a result of global warming. When you are completely full of shit, anything is possible.
