If you believe what the climate change activist are saying, the seas are rising 1/8" per year. In 96 years, the seas will rise one foot. In some areas it will rise more than in others, (probably where it can be exploited politically.)
Scientists calculate that the total mass of the oceans on Earth is 1.35 × 10^18 metric tonnes,
Arctic ice weights about 24,500 million billion kg.
2.45 × 10^(4+3+9) = 2.45 × 10^16 metric tonnes. Gotta compare apples to apples, oranges to oranges, tonnes to tonnes.
(24,500 is 2.45 × 10^4,
a million kilograms is 10^3 metric tonnes,
a billion is 10^9,
so 24,500 million billion kg is 2.45 × 10^(4+3+9) metric tonnes
or 2.45 × 10^16 metric tonnes)
This is not important, just related to a discussion by one who thinks the ice at the north polar region is the cause for the oceans being cold. He seems to distrust the talking ants.

sure – but surely you’d need something higher than this …. much, much higher … ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )

That’s a periscope, what you need is a snorkel, unless your real goal is to spy on your neighbors.

It’s kinda yellow and has a periscope.

In the town where I was born, lived a man who sailed to sea.
And he told us of his life in the land of submarines.
So we sailed on to the sun, ’til we found a sea of green.
And we lived beneath the waves, In our yellow submarine.
We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine!

Sadly today the rivers are also rising and flooding out the southwestern US.

Under the circumstances, his periscope might survive but not his dirt house.

So is he Admiral Halsey, or Uncle Albert?

But does it have torpedos to use against anteaters and such?

We all live in a yellow submarine, that will be washed away in the next flood. It’s only made out of yellow sand after-all, by ants.

I decided to get ready for the sea level rise by getting a place in Colorado. Bring it on.

Because it’s not rising.

not sure a periscope is gonna help much when the ground is saturated. …but good idea

No way could this long-retired engineer fit one flat mirror at a 45-degree angle to make that work, so it’s probably fiber optics….

It has already risen 23 ft since the ice melted and trees at the Antarctic.

That’s right! He has the scope of the situation. There’s no point or time to water things down!!

Just do what’s been done for tens of thousands of years…move inland.
