And what do you offer Arthur. The Prince was invited. His nation does listen to him. Folks who vote and contribute listen to him. People who live at water line accept his representation and his nation is on board. What of yours Arthur. Can you say that. You bear the name his people created. The celtic Arthr was the origin yet you do not call yourself that.
Ignorance keeps us from solutions. Exclusion of those who offer a hand is foolish. I tire of fools. Join the enemy , you serve them well

Yes he offers a hand, both in fact - grasping the taxpayer purse. I know 6 year olds who could make a better presentation.

Geology has to revisit the Isostatic Rebound theory and do away with that dated misconception. Lyell and Darwin his student were both wrong. The land is not rising from the sea; the sea is receding from the land. Therein lies the rub.
We have been burdening ourselves with a flawed theory of Isostatic Rebound for 200 years. That is why Global Warming pundits are still able to terrorise us with forcasts of rising seas. Its all fallacy: sea levels are constantly receding. Isostatic Rebound theory has to go and good riddance.

What rubbish. Isostatic rebound is due to the weight of ice over the surface of the earth being reduced for whatever reason and the crust elastically and plastically rebounding. Sea levels may be receding but it isn't because rebound theory is wrong. The effects of the reduction in load are a complex of rises and falls in sea level. Your theory is wrong not theirs.

I can see that you are a good student of geology. I would not call your belief rubbish I will just say that you too are a student of Lyell and Darwing and so I will say that their theory, which you swallow, is Rubbish. I hope that sounds better. The issue is that seas are receding and we still hold that sea level is a constant; it is not. Sea level is constantly declining. You must learn to think for yourself and not swallow blindly. The biggest misconception ever perpetrated is that sea level is a constant. Sea Level Datum is an unknown entity: we dont know sea level so how can we forcast a rise in sea level. Sea level datum is myth and because of that Isostatic Rebound is also a myth.
So please go back to basics and revisit sea level. You may find the truth if you learn to think for yourself.

It's not about sounding better it's about being accurate. Sea level also changes due to tidal effects. Nobody with even half a brain would advocate that sea levels are constant.

If your theory is built on this error then unfortunately all you have is a straw man argument. Sea level datum is not a myth. It is a convention that is adopted for survey work. It is possible to measure changes in level for whatever reason relative to that or any other datum you like to select.

GPS levelling shows that isostatic rebound occurs and this evidence is completely independent of sea level datums. Sorry, your claims are wrong - back to the drawing board. I think in your case, thinking for yourself has led you astray - stop it now.

It is sad to see the comments on this talk being so ignorant and unhelpful and based on no creditable evidence whatsoever. Only celtgoshawk got it right.

The comments on this site have been dropping steadily in quality over the past year or so. Perhaps a new site will rise up, and fill the quality breach.
