Funny, I read an article that said that sea levels on the east coast (New York specifically) were rising at an "alarming" rate. Much higher than "scientist's" had predicted. I used to think water dispersed. I didn't realize it was drawn to specific areas.

Well, you were wrong. Numerous factors, including currents, can cause water to rise faster in certain regions than others. There's this wonderful thing called the internet that will allow you to educate yourself before making posts where you expose yourself as a know-nothing goober. Best of luck next time.

Absolutely, I posted a condemnation that applies far better to you than to the poster it was directed towards. I'm apologize for leaving you out.

Straight to name calling, nice. Since you appear to be the water level guru, please show me a link showing how water can deny all known laws of physics. Currents and tide can affect water short term but water will disperse, it seeks it's own level.

Dear lord... tell me, are the Atlantic and Pacific oceans at the same level? According to you, they should be since they are large contiguous bodies of water. Now do us all a favor and go look for the answer before you post it. I already know the answer, so posting it back here is unnecessary if you feel embarrassed. I'm generous like that.

Thank you Mr. Generosity. Tell me how the seal level can be higher in new york than say... Jacksonville, FL. I'll give you time to research that while I wait. I'm magnanimous like that.

Now that you've conceded the fact that contiguous oceans do, in fact, have different levels, it's not so strange to think that an area we define as a single ocean (in truth there is just one single ocean) can have differing levels from location to location. Ocean currents, along with a number of other factors, cause that. If you'd like to read further so you can educate yourself, there is a recent article in Nature Climate Change that will explain it in detail. Good luck, my friend. I've included a link to the article, because I'm generous like that.

Oh I understand salinity and current differences between the oceans, but how do you explain different seal levels a few hundred miles apart? Please educate me Mr. Generous.

Humbly yours,
Mr. Magnanimous

Are you referring to global sea level (an average) or local sea level, since they aren't the same thing. Go learn some basic science, moron.

It's always cute when the ignorant get indignant.

But, basically what the physicist from the other thread said that umgrad's basic, elementary school science wasn't efficacious for the complexities of Earth's climate. Of course he used big words and that confused umgrad.

It would be much nicer if you would throw in some worthwhile scientific commentary every now and then, but you're clearly not capable of doing that.

You complained about a theoretical physicist's comments. Apparently "worthwhile" is code for "agrees with my dearth of knowledge about the subject."

So enjoy:
