You know, I was thinking just last week as I sat in a 90,000 ton cruise ship,
"I wonder if all the giant ships running around all the oceans of the world
contribute to the "rise in sea level". I mean they'd have to right? A 90,000
ton ship displaces 90,000 tons of water. If my grandmother was right with "A
pint is a pound the world around" then that ship displaces 180,000,000 pints of
water doesn't it? I might have missed a zero there but you get the idea.
Royal Caribbean has 22 ships and the one we were on was one of the smaller
Panamax (can travel through the Panama canal) models. The last cruise we were
on the ship was 150,000 tons and big oil tankers go well over 500,000 tons. To
my mind theres an awful lot of water being displaced around the world. Of
course theres an awful lot of water too...

Subject: Re: [MBZ] The Hoax of Global Warming Revealed
Global warming discussions can be dangerous. Two fishermen in a bar got into an
argument about it that resulted in a near riot.
One said the sea had risen 2 inches because the high water mark on a post in
Crystal River had risen exactly 2 inches above the usual high water mark, and
therefore he believed in global warming. The other fisherman said the new high
water mark was due to all the boats from the marina making waves and that
global warming and rising seas was a lot of hooey.
After the riot was broken up someone called the government meteorologist in
Tampa and ask him about the 2 inch rise in water level. He called Washington,
the experts looked at the global warming program on their supercomputer, and
said the 2 inch rise in Crystal River was correct even though no one from the
government had ever actually measured it in Crystal River.
By then the fishermen had sobered up, so they shook hands, became friends
again, and their argument was never settled; just like the global warming
argument will never be settled.
