Only in "climate change land" can AGW cause sea level rates to increase AND decrease at the same time!

This has been warmist land for about 5 years now

Thank you for confirming what we all knew anyway - that you are totally unable to comprehend anything technical that you read.

Sea levels are increasing. They are merely increasing slightly less quickly because of more rainfall in some places.

As an example, you might want your truck to go faster. You might add a turbocharger. It would significantly increase the power available from your engine. It would also add weight to your truck, which would then very slightly reduce the gains you would see in acceleration and top speed. Acceleration and top speed would still increase.

That's a really great example Bill.

I think your percentage of power to weight ratio is a bit skewed.

I think it is more like - you installed a much heavier transmission that would let you get better gas mileage, but at the same time significantly decreases the maximum savings because of its weight.

In that way of thinking, kind of like all income is uncollected taxes, your point of view skews the starting point of the comparison.

Do you take the maximum attainable and deduct from there, assuming that every time you use your car - it is the same manner and road conditions? Do you test this on a track with no variables?

If you assume that the sea level is not in a state of rising and falling on a much grander scale than 100 years, then your turbo analogy would likely be more true, if you use the last decade - then the tranny analogy would be more true.

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama
