Oceans projected to fall, not rise
Oops…guess the global warming alarmists got another one wrong as well.
Sea levels are set to fall over millions of years, making the current rise blamed on climate change a brief interruption of an ancient geological trend, scientists said on Thursday.
They said oceans were getting deeper and sea levels had fallen by about 170 metres since the Cretaceous period 80 million years ago when dinosaurs lived. Previously, the little-understood fall had been estimated at 40 to 250 metres.
“The ocean floor has got on average older and gone down and so the sea level has also fallen,” said Bernhard Steinberger at the Geological Survey of Norway.
I blame global warming.
