won't Alaska and Vancouver stick up higher since it's all attached, just like teeter-totter?. Maybe, from post-glacial rebound. isostatic rebound, a process of geological buoyancy by which the earth's crust, having sunk beneath the weight of glaciers from a preceding ice age, bounces up as ice sheets melt and the water runs back into the sea. While this melting ice is filling the oceans, the land can rebound so quickly that it rises even faster than the climbing sea level. The result is an apparent paradox: where continental glaciers are melting and exposing the land, the local sea levels are dropping. io9.gizmodo.com Tamino talks about it here.. red for (SL) rate increases and blue for rate decreases Message 30614930
