    Ahhh, yes, now those old science classes are coming back to me. Just like heat rises and cool air falls, water does the same thing due to density changes

    In the link to NASAs website from an earlier post, they attribute sea level decreases (or lack of increases) to global dam projects, which look like they start around the mid '50s and continue to have an affect through the mid '90s.

    Then, if you look at their ocean warming graph, you can see the warming trend hasn't stopped since the late '60s.

    If looking at data and throwing out a hypothesis based on that data makes me a conspiracy theorist, I guess I'm guilty as charged.

    correlation is not causation.
    But if you feel you are correct, write a research paper. Maybe you are onto something.

    You are correct that correlation is not causation, and I stated that in previous posts. Which is why I said I was throwing out a new thought, not listing alternative facts.

    I don't care enough to write a research paper - I'm lazy and it sounds like too much work. Plus, it's not like they'd be willing to blow up all the dams to save the earth - too much green energy from hydro power and water necessary for drinking and irrigation in some states.

    So are you saying the production of Aluminum Foil is the real cause?

    Saw a YouTube video of a guy talking about his bronco 4xe with 21 mile range.

    he essentially justified that since he lives a wealthy retired lifestyle of driving around town it’s totally practical.

    I also noticed he had the comments section off.

    If that mine goes through it will pollute the entire water supply of Sebago. The area will be uninhabitable.
