Ocean News

If an ocean port is directly in the path of a hurricane, the Captain of the Port, a Coast Guard officer ranked Commander or higher, orders all vessels out of port.

Ships and boats are deemed seaworthy, when they're equipped and designed to survive bad weather at sea. I have ridden out many (dozens) of hurricanes at sea.

The danger in port, is dragging anchors, breaking loose from moorings, being adrift and coliding with other vessels and port facilities. At sea, you have room to maneuver. and stay clear.

If your boat is too small to survive at sea, have it picked up and stored on land. Drop the mast, if it's a sailboat.

The only boats on shore I have seen damaged, are sailboats the owner left the mast up, with furled sails on it. The wind tore the lashings loose so the sails unfurled, caught the wind, and toppled the boat off it's stands, blew the boat over.
Boats afloat damaged, were because they broke loose or dragged anchors. Damage was collision damage with other boats and piers!

My own two motorsailor boat's live on their trailers, on shore, when I'm not using them. Easy to load on the trailers if bad weather is coming.

 

I don't respect the opinion of either of these two persons.

I'm not catholic, and teenagers don't know squat!

 

Losing the audience by over-hype. Is weather really more severe? Or it's just weather reporting has become sensationalist in the attempt to gain viewership and ratings?

The Arctic Circle Hit 101°F Saturday, Its Hottest Temperature Ever

The Russian town of Verkhoyansk has an average January HIGH temperature of -44°F.

It's average June HIGH temperature is 68°F.

On Saturday temperatures reached a scorching 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, the hottest temperature ever recorded above the Arctic Circle.

[Go back to sleep, sheeples. There is nothing to worry about.]

 

The panic attack tactics only seem to cause themselves, the scaremongers nightmares. You are welcome to them! Enjoy your cheap thrills. Just don't expect society to adopt your nightmarish lefty dictates. We don't suffer from paranoid night sweats! Laugh at those who do!

I recall somebody posting it was freezing outside, where was global warming? and I believe YOU responded, that was just weather. Insignificant long term.

Back at you! A 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit day at an isolated single location in Russia, within the arctic circle? Just local weather! Doesn't mean anything!
Everybody talks about the weather. Your group wants to do something about it, but you don't know how!

Don't fool with mother nature, when you don't know what you're doing.

You could improve your story line.
Classic horror films has the plot formula, three dramatic acts arranged as,
it's coming, it's closer, it's HERE!
The final act was, the audience left the theater, sighed relief, and went home.
I believe your audience is leaving, bored with thirty years of repeated "It's Coming!".
It's your own fault, predicting disaster a hundred years in the future unless we sacrifice now!

 

You could at least try and learn what the difference is between weather and climate before you carry on with your absurdities.

 

And what makes you imagine I DON'T know the difference?
That pitch didn't even make it to the plate. Spluttered to a stop about an inch or two from your own feet. Where it belongs. Dropped ball.
Oops! It's actually such a gooey gob of your phlegm, I thought you were trying a strike pitch but flubbed it. Just something you coughed up though.

 

Mass attracts mass, that's why we don't fall of the earth. Same with the tides, water on earth follows the mass of the moon. Also the same with the mass of land ice, it attracts the surrounding waters. When land ice melts there will be more water in the oceans, but this doesn't spread evenly over all seas. Where the mass of land ice reduces there will be less attraction to the water in the surrounding seas. And so when for example the ice cap on Greenland starts melting the local sea level will drop, the mass of the water of the melted land ice will take a part of the surrounding waters along while it flows away, till there's a new mass attraction equality on earth, which is different from water level equality over the world's seas. And so locally melted land ice will give sea level drop around Greenland, the sea level rise from the melted land ice and the water it takes along with it's mass will be in Miami, where they have at least some money to deal with the consequences, but also in places where they don't have money to deal with it, like Bangladesh.

Once Greenland becomes green it will be even bigger, while other large parts of the world will be flooded . .

The Netherlands adapted to living below sea level many centuries ago. Wonder what did they use for bulldozers back then? To create the levees, or dikes?

"
Dike Period 1200-1500
In the fourteenth century, the combined effects of soil subsidence and rising sea levels meant, in many parts of the Low Countries, that sea level and ground level converged to the same height. This was the period that saw the first large-scale building of dikes. The population was falling in some parts of Europe, as a result of economic recession and a succession of epidemics, but the Netherlands, especially Holland, was doing relatively well.

Bangladesh should take heart and inspiration from the history of the Netherlands.

 

While I believe that much of your analysis is correct, if all of Greenland's ice melted I understand that Greenland would actually become smaller, because much of its interior would be flooded, resulting in three large islands, plus a host of smaller islands.

 

Thugs can take over any issue, bending it to their political or economic advantage. Like prohibition became a windfall for gangsters!

 

Thanks, wrote it down based on physics, but didn't know the land below the ice cap on Greenland is that low, which makes it even worse for the rest of the world, compared to my post #3408 analysis, as less mass above water will remain in the area to attract the surrounding sea water, so more water will flow away, to establish a new mass attraction equality on earth.

But didn't hear or see the video takes into account that when the ice cap on Greenland melts it will create a new mass attraction equality on earth, so the sea level around Greenland after it loses it's ice could be lower than shown in the video, and so the surviving land area on Greenland could be larger than shown in the video, which means even more water and more trouble for the places the water is going to.

 

The Dutch and Belgian wealth to built the land from the sea comes from parts of the world that still suffer from colonialism in the past, Bangladeshi people didn't do so, in fact they were colonialised by England at time the Dutch built their land by money earned with terrible exploitation and murders, like eg. the Dutch conquest of the Banda Islands.
