What a load of rubbish..

These so called scientists will do anything and say anything to create a panic over so called man made global warming..

The fact of the matter is that the total amount of fresh water in the entire world, is no more than a few percent of the total water volume. Over 95% of all the water in the world is in the oceans.

Of the remaining fresh water, at least 90% of all of that is held in the Antarctic, Arctic and glacial systems.

Man made dams account for less than .05 of one percent..

How on earth these goofballs can then claim that man made dams are masking sea level rises...is just beyond me..

Mind you, like Al Gore's nonsense this is pretty good B*llshit..and in no way, credible science...

Dear Aqua,

May I ask how many peer reviewed articles have you published in Science, one of the worlds most well respected journals in the world ?

If you have any questions to their methodology, may I suggest you read the actual article:

Yeah, right ... how about the dams not being full to nominal capacity ? How about the dams getting full, and then letting the water run at the same debit it had before the dams were build ? Dams could have only delayed the rise in sea levels with the time needed to fill the largest of them to nominal capacity.

How about blaming the non-rising sea levels on WC reservoirs ? Those should hold a lot of water ... let's see, a minimum of 1bil. people who have WCs, 3 people per WC reservoir, 10 liters per reservoir: 3333333 cubic meters of water ... not much, but you can add the water that is stored in bottles, fish tanks, coffee cups, soft drinks, beer bottles etc. Indeed, we have found the reason the sea levels did not rise with 10 meters during the last 100 years.

I am not a peer reviewed scientist, but a simple design engineer, I, in my work, think that a double check on the double check is not enough. I read the results of 'papers' published by 'scientists' that have about as much knowledge of the climate as Al Gore. Having read this article I am a little confused, the 'science' to calculate the rise and fall of the worlds oceans is; (a) very badly reported.
(b) incomplete
(c) or compiled by Al Gore
There are so many factors to consider in such a calculation and some of the biggest are not represented. When you consider that the earth is mostly ocean, and that the center of the earth is a molten mass, I see nowhere in this paper allowances for expansion and contraction of the oceans sea beds, the worlds oceans have for hundreds of millions of years been changing, ( read the Bible) the best estimates that I could find on the web as to the contents of the worlds oceans give a plus-minus of 3.02 inches,
these 'scientists' have hitched a ride on the "climate Change Express" and left there intelligence at the station.
