Sea level

BY 2002 IT WAS PRETTY CLEAR THAT NO SUCH ENVIRONMENTAL HOLOCAUST WAS IMMINENT.

STILL IN 1988, THE AFP PREDICTED THE DESTRUCTION OF THE MALDIVES AS A GRADUAL RISE IN AVERAGE SEA LEVEL WOULD FLOOD THE ISLANDS, BUT NOTED THAT THE END OF THE MALDIVES AND ITS 200,000 PEOPLE COULD COME SOONER IF DRINKING WATER SUPPLIES DRY UP BY 1992 AS THEY PREDICTED.

DRINKING WATER SUPPLIES DIDN'T DRY UP BY 1992.

THE LATE 1980s ALSO SAW LANDMARK TESTIMONY BEFORE CONGRESS BY JAMES HANSON, WHO SPARKED FEARS OF THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT DRAMATICALLY WARMING THE EARTH.

It wasn't.

It was fine.

And so too were the entire nations that the AP predicted in 1989 would be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.

There was not a single nation wiped off the face of the earth because of the rising sea levels in 1990s.

THE MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH FOR BRIGHTON, said he when he returned.

THE SYMPTOMS ARE FOR SOME REASON DEVELOPING MORE RAPIDLY UPON THE SEA LEVEL.

OUR SEVEN HUNDRED FEET OF ELEVATION GIVE US AN ADVANTAGE.

FOLKS SEEM TO HAVE LEARNED THAT I AM THE FIRST AUTHORITY UPON THE QUESTION.

Take God's Word, please, and find 2 Corinthians 4.

I want to talk to you tonight about living above sea level, S-E-E.

THAT IS LEARNING TO LIVE BY FAITH OR LEARNING TO SEE THE INVISIBLE.

NOW WE'VE OFTEN HEARD THIS LITTLE MOTTO THAT WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET.

UH, NOW, MANY TIMES WE WANT TO SEE SOMETHING.

WE WANT SOMETHING WE CAN TOUCH, SOMETHING WE CAN FEEL.

REMEMBER, THOMAS, UH, DOUBTED THE RESURRECTION AND, AND HE FAILED IN HIS FAITH BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO LIVE ABOVE SEA LEVEL.

JOHN CHAPTER 20 VERSE 25, THE OTHER DISCIPLES THEREFORE SAID UNTO HIM, WE HAVE SEEN THE LORD.

When scientists study sea level, they help communities ask smart questions.

Where does water go during storms? Which places need better planning? How can people protect homes, habitats, and important places near the coast? Big brain thought.

Science tools can be satellites in space, maps on a table, or curious kids asking, what happens if the water changes? Okay, kids,

time for the next story.

Our final story

Amadablam was under the belt.

You sort of got your big, tough summit, and then the dream was to go and get to the top of Mount Everest from the ocean, from sea level.

Your inspiration from this one, we had Tim McCartney Snape on the show about a month ago, Legend of a Man.

Was that really the initial inspiration to go and do something in the same ilk as he did? I love when I see Australian

That's a mega day.

That's a mega day.

And also, I mean, it's a big day at sea level.

It's a big day when you're depleted in oxygen, isn't it? I'm just going to talk about going from every space camp because if people, a lot of people that have watched this that would have done the trek up and then have got to the rock and then have touched the rocket trekkers point and they'll turn and go back and they'll never do more than...

Jade Mountain, I think the tallest, it reaches nearly 4,000 meters.

And that's in a very small, relatively small bit of land to go from Sea level to 4,000 meters real fast.

Right.

And Taiwan also lying as it does on the boundary of the Eurasian and the Philippine Sea tectonic plates.
