Rising sea levels
Dear Editor,
Re: MIT Climate Scientist Calls Fears of Global Warming ‘Silly’ - Equates Concern to “Little Kids” Attempting to “Scare Each Other”
In college I was dubbed the “genius” and helped others with math and tutored at home, in the hope that the world would get smarter. But sadly, there are people who never learn.
Anyway, the Earth is not a solid object. It has an outside crust of various thicknesses that floats on liquid magma inside. Thickness under oceans is about 40 miles and under the Himalayas about 100 miles. The crust immerses into the magma according to weight. So, when you take weight off polar ice caps and add it to oceans, the polar regions will float higher on the magma and the oceans lower, leaving sea levels unchanged.
Sincerely yours,
PS: My father always said “You can’t teach intelligence”, but then, who ever listened to his father?
