Hi!

What is also clear is also that 25 000 years ago,which
is a very very little while on the Zoic times the
world went into a glacial era. So let consider it's
yesterday on the geological scale of time!
To illustrate that fact :
take the case of the Scandinavian's shield (composed
of Norway, Sweden, Finland and every countries of
ex-USSR on the Baltic sea). Before the numerous
glaciations, the baltic sea didn't exist, Scandinavia
was up to the sea level from Norway to Lettonia (the
huge quantity of amber and well preserved fossil woods
found ashore, there, indicates that fact). Under the
weight of the thick glacier covering the whole
Scandinavia, the paleozoic shield (the ground) was
pushed down and the central part went under the sea
level. A few thousand years BC, the glacier melts and
gives birth to the baltic sea. The shield, in response
to the the melting, is pushing up again; but on our
scale of time, this is almost imperceptible

Furthermore, the fact that humans is the main factor
of a warming is bullshit. because, the sea level HAS
NEVER BEEN AS LOW AS IT WAS YESTERDAY (I mean during
those glaciations, but it stands low today) . In the
MIddleJurassic time, the sea level was 200 m higher.
So, if the sea level rises again (consequence of a
global warming), it's not the falt of human but it's
just a normal geological event, let say.
And, as Andrew put it in its mail, the level don't
stand still (on a sea level evolution curve, we call
that fourth degree event (translate from french
so...))
. It goes up and down very frequently. The period of
those fourth degree variation is from 1000 to 10000
years.
We can't stop nature.
