#!, petrified palm trees have been found in Antarctica and as far north
as Canada. Proving the Earth has went through radical climate changes
before mans arrival.
Gosh, and this was no more than three days according to Genesis!
Yes, I know the earth has gone through other periods of global
warming. And life as a whole has survived. Individual species did not
do so well, however. But again, we as a species may get through this.
However, I think the impact on individuals and society may not be so
good.
The cold weather didn't do the palm trees so much good. On the
other hand, warm water doesn't support much in the way of sea food.
Most fishing is done in cold water, where there is more oxygen and
therefore more fish. Much of the warm weather fishing is done near
stone coral reefs. And the stone coral reefs are dying. And what
happens when the sea levels rise? We will get back to that.


#2.Sea levels have risen, since first life appeared on Earth. light from
the sun and oxygen are turned into algae that all sea life depend on for
food..
The connection between these two thoughts has not been made.
However, I will address each separately.
It would be more accurate to say from the sunlight, and carbon
dioxide. The carbon dioxide is the source of carbon, which is the main
element that binds most of the molecules in the algae together.
As far as sea levels rising, the evidence is that they fluctuate
or that there are regions that change their altitude relative to sea
level. Terrestrial fossils are sandwiched between marine fossils in
some areas, while marine fossils are sometimes sandwiched between
marine fossils. A consistent "sea level rising" pattern is not found.
What seems to be the case is that due to continental drift,
continental shelves just off shore sometimes are lifted out of the
water. And often, they go back under water. If you were a creature
living at the shore, when it went back under water, you may have
gotten uncomfortable.

All sea life die and settle to the ocean floor, and remain as fossils
or turn into fossil fuel such as petroleum or coal.
Most sea life that dies doesn't turn into fossils. Just a small
fraction, under some conditions, turns into fossils.
Coal does not form in the ocean, since it is mostly comprised of
land plants. There is very little coal in the ocean, it is mostly
continental material. Until recently, coal like material was
accumulating. Peat bogs to a limited sense could be considered baby
coal mines. However, the current trend among humans is to burn every
single combustible material as it forms. So I think the formation of
coal has pretty much stopped due to human activity.
Limestone is forming in the oceans even as we speak. Animals that
quite consistently leave fossils in the ocean include stony corals.
Some stony coral reefs that are still growing may be 13 KY old (not
millions). Some coral reefs have been dead and buried for millions of
years. I would say that in the case of coral reefs, the rule is that
they almost always become fossils. Coral reefs and related type reefs
are a big source of limestone.
Other reef organisms that have made limestone include bivalves,
and crinoids. To a lesser extent, they are still at it.
Because of global warming, many coral reefs are dying. So our
modern age may turn out to be a gap in the fossil record, at least for
marine life. But come what may, some coral reefs will survive and
limestone formation start again. This has probably happened many times
in the past. I hope the human race survives to look back on our
time.
Petroleum is something I believe forms under special conditions
that aren't found in todays environment. I may be wrong. But to form
petroleum, one needs fairly anaerobic conditions which at present
don't exist. Maybe when the earth warms up a little more. However, a
more knowledgeable person may be able to tell you about that.

This ia an age old process that has made the ocean floor rise more than
4 miles over millions of yrs..
I have no idea what you are implying here. However, it sounds
like you are repeating an "expanding earth" fairy tale.
Rise relative to what? If the water rises as fast as the ocean
floor, there is no change of sea level. And what exactly is this "age
old process?" Sounds like a complete fantasy. I assume that you are
talking about the center of the earth. Where does the material come
from to make the ocean floor rise? And why doesn't the continent rise
with it? And happens to the ocean water? I

#3.If all the ice in the artic ice pack melted it would not make sea
level rise 1/10,000 of an inch...Ice actually shrinks when it melts
leaving the ocean sea level exactly the same...
Not true for the South pole, although it may be true for the North
pole. Ice can float, like it does at the North pole. If the ice was
floating then when it melted there would not be a change in sea level.
However, most of the ice at the South pole is supported by continental
crust. This continent is called Antarctica, and you just mentioned it
in your very first #1 statement. The ice in Antarctica is not
floating, because it is being held above sea level by the rock below
it.
If the ice in Antarctica melted, then the sea level would change.
It would rise all over the world in places other than Antarctica,
since the water in high in Antarctica has to go somewhere. There would
be shrinking of the ice, but it would be small compared to the
addition of water high above sea level in the Antarctic. Also, if
worldwide temperatures went up, the liquid water in the oceans would
expand. Since there is more liquid water than ice in the world, the
overall volume of water in the oceans would increase.
Certainly not high enough to drown everybody. I am sure that most
land would be untouched by the water. There is not enough water to
create a Great Flood. However, many people live near the edge of their
continents close to sea level. All the major cities are at the edge.
Yes, the water would be an inconvenience. It would displace people,
and cause a lot of inconvenience. Maybe not for those living in
Kansas.

Please read your own statements. And draw pictures of your
conjectures. If you merely drew Antarctica, as you described in
statement #1, you would see how bogus your conjecture was.
