Sea Levels Rising at Fastest Rate in 2000 Years

And there is the other ice cap, that is surrounded by open ocean in all direction. There is very little land surface in the southern hemisphere, especially compared to the northern hemisphere.

I guess you must have the words 'Ice Age' blocked from viewing because you certainly don't have a selective reading problem.

So, Bill, you basically are saying that the science on rising sea levels is also a conspiracy?

If this quote from Wikipedia is correct, then it would appear so:

On Earth, 99% of glacial ice is contained within vast ice sheets in the polar regions, but glaciers may be found in mountain ranges of every continent except Australia. In the tropics, glaciers occur only on high mountains.[2]

That will only work if we also all believe in man made global warming. Good Luck with that.

I need to schedule a town hall with Al Gore and Mitt Romney.

What's the problem? The post that showed the reason science has adjusted the sea level rise by 300µm per year since the last Ice Age... OMG you didn't read that well, including subsequent references to the Ice Age, did you?

Of current ice.

If there's any lesson learned here is that our public school system has failed in the south, particularly when it comes to teaching kids science.

Glacial Rebound, Right. I am familiar with the term. The resulting uplift would make the basins smaller, not larger, displacing even more water, and accelerating rising sea levels. That's not happening. You can't have it both ways.

Well aren't you the climate scientist now. You mean a resulting land uplift from less ice mass on the continental landmasses (and where does the water go? HINT: oceans)? Yeah, think about that statement for a minute and the thing your denialist blogs are calling a fudge. It seems you might be confusing them. On that note however, consider that is part of the mechanism that allowed the Americas to be populated. Its not uplift that the net sea level change argues.
