Surely,expla8ined in #41 ?
Ocean global warning does not effect the world equally, it depends on effecting areas within a large tidal flow. Your seawall is apparently not within effected tidal regions, so lucky you can dangle your tootsies without fear of it raising up to your knees. Google the effect on arctic glacial melt and look at the before and current photos, it's shocking.

Re: Climate Change
Keith ,
The tidal range at Fleetwood is 10.5 metres, nearly 35 feet, quite a large tidal range .
As I posted previously, I spent several years across the oceans of the world, Weather Reporting to the Met Office at Bracknell in Herts.
every six hours from the Arctic to the Antarctic from every ocean on the planet , unless they have created a few more oceans , There was always a steady seasonal pattern.
The sea temperatures do vary , many parts of oceans are cool and other parts which have undersea Volcanoes, get quite warm. There is the Ring of Fire in the Pacific, El Nino also in the Pacific create very hot temperatures every Ten or so years, from South America to Australia,
and has done so since the earth began,
Around the Arctic Ocean are many undersea Volcanic eruptions, Islands are created, some then disappear back under the sea again.
I go to Tuamotus every two years, It used to be a Huge Volcano, 70 miles long and several thousand feet in height,
It has sunk back under the sea and just leaving a big lagoon 70 miles across with a few island sticking above the surface. That must have increased sea levels a few inches, Nothing to do with climate change. I went there last year and am going back there including the Big Island of Hawaii next March.
Hawaii`s BIG Island , Hawaii, is increasing in size continuously, as the lava flows continuously into the Pacific Ocean making the sea water BOIL which is then transferred around the Pacific area.
In 2009 I was swimming in the Antarctic Ocean at Desolation Island , Sea temperature VERY WARM surrounded by Ice. it was from the Caldera of the Volcano, the Antarctic has quite a few Volcanoes,
I saw on the BBC News the other day, a reporter went to the Arctic and said the Ice is melting, It is Summertime up the ice does melt in Summer with 24 hours a day sunshine, there,
they Never go in January when it Freezes over in 24 hours a day of darkness. mid winter when it is Freezing, no head lines there,
Keith I suggest you stop reading the scaremongering tactics put out by classroom "Ology's" with no worldly experience only theories, and get some Real experience of this world.
Where the ANTARCTIC Continent is today there used to be Tropical Rain Forests, What happened to it????
That is why there is an abundance of coal, oil and gas under all that Ice,
The World is changing non stop, and has been since it was first created thousands of millions of years ago.
So you can sleep easy tonight knowing that the world is still OK in the morning .
Cheers
Brian

Re: Climate Change
Next Week's UN Climate Summit will be more up to date thanks.
Two days after the UN summit, scientists will issue a special report
on how global warming will affect the planet's oceans and frozen corners.

Another lot of hot air released into the atmosphere fueling global warming.

Re: Climate Change
There has never been a more important time to educate and empower the next generation with knowledge about their rights.
Children and young people are rarely in a position to stand up for their own rights – so the need for a legal framework that embeds and protects their best interests is vital.
Whilst the government, for the time being at least, is still bound by the Human Rights Act 1998 and other domestic legislation that protects children’s interests, every opportunity needs to be taken to strengthen children’s rights. Importantly, the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child, which sets out the inalienable rights of every child, will continue to apply to the UK after its departure from the EU.
The UK ratified the Convention in 1991 and it sets out 54 articles covering the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights that allow children and young people to live with dignity and to achieve their full potential. The four general principles of the Convention cover:
non-discrimination
the best interests of the child
the right to survival and development
the right of children to be heard and have their views taken into account in matters that affect them.

Re: Climate Change
Hi Keith.
I think we have a little more Experience than children.
How many children remember what the weather and climate was like in the 1930s.
I do, and not many children do, The seasons are still the same,
What kind of experiences do children have outside their own streets? Not a Lot.
The only problem with the world today is Rubbish, plastics etc.
When I was in the San Blas Islands this year, the sea around the island was full of garbage and plastics, floating around the edges of the island, The locals dump Everything in the sea. Go to Indonesia including Bali where I was this year, full of Garbage in piles through the streets of Bali. I went to South America this year, Columbia garbage everywhere also in Ecuador and Peru.
In India and Bangladesh nothing but rubbish, garbage and plastics everywhere,
Keith, get on your bike, go and travel the world as I do every year, for the last 70 years of travelling, to Every continent , never miss, I am off again in 20 weeks back around the world, to see for myself, I do not need a classroom "Ology" to tell me a load of rubbish.
STOP the Garbage and Rubbish then the world will be a better place for kids.
Cheers
Brian
