Not sure about bible prophesies, but I can certainly believe that another Sodom and Gomorrah episode is on the way, thanks to the Left nutbags.

Loudmouth - you are quite right. There are fish in the sea but that is no consolation to those who find the land on which they live either submerged by rising sea level or ruined for cultivation by salt water incursion.

Hi Mildly Concerned of Mittagong,

Let's go through it again, slowly.

Atolls sink (hence the perception of sea-level rise), and corals build up in pace with the subsidence.

More population, and increased water use for production, mean that more ground-water is pumped out. Hence, ground subsidence. Hence, the perception of sea-level rise.

Building closer to the water-line, say, on the beach, gives the perception of sea-level rise, especially amongst those living closer to the water-line.

I hope this is useful. By the way, the fish are still out there. It's a big ocean.

Loudmouth – A bit off-topic. However, Average Global Sea Level is rising according to measurements by satellite and ground observation. For your argument to be valid all land masses with a coastline would have to be subsiding at a similar rate to account for sea level rise. Do you have empirical evidence that this is occurring?

The usual explanation for average global sea level rise is because additional water is entering the ocean as a result of the melting land based ice due to global warming and loss of albedo. This too is confirmed by satellite and terrestrial observation.

glad to see Tony and Dutton also having a good laugh at the fantasy. Of course the regressives are outraged but it won't stop them flying around the globe trying to deny a decent living standard for all.

Stop trying to squirm out of it, and just answer the questions directly on point without evasion:

Do you, or do you not understand that science:
1. does not supply value judgments?
2. cannot consist of appeal to absent authority?
3. cannot rest on assuming what is in issue?

Adding more of your tactic of open-ended credulity, blind faith in government authority, and attempting to reverse the onus of proof, only proves my point, not yours.

What's your answer to the three questions?
