Am I wrong abou the assumption that a rising level of the seas would at some point flood the Grand Canyon?

@Thingschange4444 scientist only do assumptions about the future in which they claim the seas to speed up in rising.

@scooogy Assumptions hey.

@MalteseFalconPunch Yes I've not got a tape measure out but at high tide it's always been at the same level on a dockyard wall that was built 200 years ago.

@Thingschange4444 When the tsunami in 2004 happened, shortly beforehand a little girl noticed the water level falling and remembered what her teacher taught about such an event. She assumed her observation to fit in there and immediately warned the people around her to flee from the coast since a tsunami would be about to come up. If she'd just have said "hmm roughly less water" then guess what would have happened.

@MalteseFalconPunch Easily really. The wall is 200 years old approximately and at high tide it's always been the same level. Spring tides being the exception

@MalteseFalconPunch No but the wall has and there's lots of pics some 100 years old of ships docked next to the same wall. Not rocket science tbh.

@MalteseFalconPunch the effect would actually be in both the mass of the increased water and the flatness of some coast areas.

@MalteseFalconPunch Well if it's 12cm over a 100 year period were looking at a fair few hundred more before the ships float up to my place.

@MalteseFalconPunch We.ll see. Let's hope all stays relatively well for future generations sake.

@Thingschange4444 sorry, but this is where I don't get you. You're against assumptions, but on the other hand you say "let's hope"?

@scooogy I'm not against assumptions. I just like facts. It's only a opinion anyway. Maybe I. Ll be proved wrong. I'm just not wasting energy on panicking. Especially when there are atrocities across the world daily that kill thousands.

@MalteseFalconPunch 🖒

@Thingschange4444 FYI I've asked this because I investigated the scenario of the flooding of the Grand Canyon pausing the rise of the sea level for a while.

@scooogy Cool.
