The difference in the earths radius from the poles to the equator is about 13 miles. Think on that for a just a second or two. That distance is way deeper than the sea at the known deepest. That being the case then the sea would not even cover any portion of the planet at the Equator if it were not for the centrifugal force on the seas due to the rotation of the planet. But then if it were not for the centrifugal force on the planet, the planet would be a sphere and the sea would cover it to achieve equal surface pressure as gravity would dictate. But we do have Centrifugal force and the sea must accommodate to settle in with equal surface pressure, with all applicable forces involved. Where would you expect the sea to rise if you add more water?
Trump dismisses need for climate change action: ‘We have the cleanest water we’ve ever had, we have the cleanest air’ ‘It doesn’t always work with a windmill,’ says US president as he rejects green energy https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...-change-global-warming-us-japan-a8980156.html
He is correct. A humongous carbon tax will change nothing in the environment. It will lower the quality of life millions of people though, so I want to know why would anyone support this emotional plan?
I can tell you, our environment is vastly improved over the past 60 years. Water and air. But yet we have less fish in our rivers and the sea. And then, way more people and sea lions catching them. That is an environment decline we can do something about.
Last fall, I took the MarAzul up the Willamette to Oregon City. The Willamette is a beautiful river to take a cruise on. It is a damn shame I can't get up the river as far as one used to be able to navigate the river, nearly to Salem. This is because Salem just let the locks around the Willamette falls deteriorate to unusable, with no plan to correct the error. What a waste, not to be able to use your environment. Very short sighted. Like I say the river is beautiful once you get past the old industrial sections in a state of dereliction in Portland. One vary noticeable change in the river since the time I lived in West Linn, is now you don't have to deal with an unpleasant stench to the river. Very clean now, in comparison to 50 years ago. Not so nice in Portland though, intruded on by Freeways and abandon industrial access. I sure would like to see this fixed. The old Port of Portland facilities are now on the road to dereliction under the leadership of Portland Democrats. What has it been now? 10 years since the big Whirlys unloaded ships?
