Metro Manila sinking at a fast pace

Very interesting thread and some good opinions

I personally don't have any specialist knowledge in sea-level (or land level) measurement and monitoring. But I do have more than a passing interest in what is currently called 'global warming'.

There are a number satellites that are being used to collect measurements on many different aspects, including rate-changes in sea levels, land mass changes and temperature changes.

Just as a personal interest, I do find the data so far collected extremely interesting.
That's not to say I agree with some of the theories of root cause, but it does make for an interesting debate.

Data is data and unless there is a sound argument that it is incorrect in some way then the rate of changes measured certainly indicate something very significant.
Could be a natural cycle or not.
But there's very little argument about the data trends.

If anyone is interested there are plenty of websites to visit.
This is one is just one possible link from my favorite and is added as it relates to global sea-levels and to global surface temperatures

Hope it's worth your visit:-
Global Climate Change

Yes. The meters at the top of the website seem to tell a story. And yet it is like trying to predict the stock market or exchange rates in advance as they oscillate. We just don't know what will happen next until it has happened. But one thing looks like it is becoming increasingly certain is that if the earth is like we think Mars is, we know what will happen eventually....

...full of US & Russian scrap metal?

One thing the 'none believers' in the street don't understand is the number of scientists in support of man made climate change, 97%. And on top of that many of the top scientists who stood against it have now converted, such as Prof Muller.

I am comfortable with the idea of man made climate change. But I also am comfortable with the earth's long history and climate change. Mars appears to have been through its life cycle and if so the geology might just tell us a bit more about the earths future. Time will tell. Ultimately it looks like, overall, in the long term, the earth is cooling.
