| We are hearing more and more about ocean levels rising due to global warming. Are there any studies or reports being done in the San Carlos area?

I don't think so. How much do they believe that levels have actually risen?
That means more water to fish, right?

| There are several Pacific islands reporting as much as 10 inches over the last ten years. Last edited on Tue Dec 4th, 2007 10:18 pm by jmichael

| I heard that Al Gore did an extensive scientific study on the matter and was about to release the documentary when an un-named fisherman from this board pointed out that he was at the shore the same time each day and was actually seeing the tide come in. Duhhhhh ! Al thought the earth would be covered by the end of the month. Duhhh....Just a joke for for all of the humoristically challenged that might be offended.

I was reading a study that concluded that the more beer that gets consumed by fisherman while out fishing has a direct impact on the rising water level of the sea.
I believe it is related to the study that also found there is a direct correlation between the passage of time and the size of the fish that got away resulting in a much larger fish than the "reel" one involved thereby causing the sea level to rise due to displacing more sea water due to more cubic volume of fish than there was originally.

OK, so no one is going to ask why the Pacific is only rising on the islands??

And why the rise would be any different anywhere else, whatever it is.
A ten inch rise in the mean tide over 10 years?
I dont believe it, but I've never been able to convince my wife about the significance of ten inches, either.

Hey Guys I Just found this Article on the Internet, looks like the beer theory may be true, and Brians Idea of More water to fish
[/url][[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise#]Show more]
Sea level rise
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Sea-level rise is an increase in sea level. Multiple complex factors may influence this change.Including the amount of beer consumed by fisherman.
Sea-level has risen about 130 metres (400 feet) since the peak of the last ice age about 18,000 years ago.The Biggest advantage to this has been more water area for fisherman to fish in. Most of the rise occurred before 6,000 years ago. From 3,000 years ago to the start of the 19th century sea level was almost constant, rising at 0.1 to 0.2 mm/yr.[1] Since 1900 the level has risen at 1 to 2 mm/yr; since 1993 satellite altimetry from TOPEX/Poseidon indicates a rate of rise of 3.1 ± 0.7 mm yr–1 [2]. It is very likely that 20th century warming has contributed significantly to the observed sea-level rise, through thermal expansion of sea water and widespread loss of land ice [3]. Church and White (2006) found a sea-level rise from January 1870 to December 2004 of 195 mm, a 20th century rate of sea-level rise of 1.7 ±0.3 mm per yr and a significant acceleration of sea-level rise of 0.013 ± 0.006 mm per year per yr. If this acceleration remains constant, then the 1990 to 2100 rise would range from 280 to 340 mm,[2]. Sea-level rise can be a product of global warming through two main processes: expansion of sea water as the oceans warm, and melting of ice over land. Global warming is predicted to cause significant rises in sea level over the course of the twenty-first century.

| Silly scientists, The real reason the sea level is rising is because we keep putting stuff in the oceans that displaces the water: boats, man made marinas, the airport island in Tokyo, the Netherlands, jetties, and in summertime all the obese people swiming.

HI Steve. I have to admit I may have made up part of my contribution to this discussion (beer and displacement by fish) but, I guess the hula hoop was just an idea before it really got around.
Has anyone read about the greenhouse effect happening on Venus? According to scientists it is getting hotter and hotter there and as far as they can figure there are no internal combustion engines or steel mills feeding the thermal expansion there. it is interesting reading.
So since we live in the same solar system it doesn't seem that the humans are entirely at fault for earth getting warmer and the ice melting . Maybe we are more witnesses than perpatrators.
I also wonder what sort of new species will be swimming around the Sea of Cotez in the future . Back to the swimming "dinosaurs" that were there when the water was much warmer.
Each temp. change starts a new environment to intiate new life or the end of another one. Like the guy said --"we're gonna need a bigger boat".

| So the good news is that global warming is making bigger fish? Anyone catch one of those 90 # bulls this year?
