Title: polar ice cap meltdown Post by: mickycoin "mick" on March 11, 2009, 12:48:35 PM Hi every one, i watched the news yesterday and the boffins predict a rise in sea level by one meter by 2100. should we all run out and buy a bigger freezer, with an automatic defroster set for that date.?? if i am correct the tide will then be going out a lot further , if fact a loooooooooooong way further, not being a beach man myself all i can say is" lucky buggers" it will be finds beyond your wildest dreams mick

Help! ??? Richy.

Spring tides are to do with the moon and it's gravitational pull on the ocean. if we had more water then it would only go out pro rata |
