At the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (~21,000 years ago), sea levels were at their lowest. Between roughly 14,000 and 8,000 years ago, the majority of the rise occurred, with about 90 metres of sea level increase in just 6,000 years, corresponding to an average rate of roughly 15 mm per year. After this rapid rise, sea levels continued to increase more gradually, adding another 30–40 metres over the following several thousand years, reaching near-modern levels around 3,000 years ago. From about 3,000 years ago until the pre-industrial period, sea levels were relatively stable, with only minor fluctuations. From the IPCC report archive (archive.ipcc.ch/ipccreports/tar/wg1/409.htm😞 Based on tide gauge data, the rate of global average sea level rise during the 20th century is in the range 1.0 to 2.0 mm/yr, with a central value of 1.5 mm/yr Based on the few very long tide gauge records, the average rate of sea level rise has been larger during the 20th century than the 19th century. No significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise during the 20th century has been detected.

Yes, the left-wing loonies have been trying to bring down the economy. Fortunately, there is a growing awareness of the stupidity of net zero and Australia's policies. I am more comfortable now than I have been for ten years that we will have a sensible mix of renewable, coal, hydrocarbon and nuclear energy in our future.

But the question is still valid and the answer still revealing.

Silent p, as in swimming.

I am not shamed to say I am pro Israel. I admire their strength and tenacity in a region of evil and terror. I wish them complete success in defeating those who cry death to Israel.

That’s right, I did it when I had a young family and wanted them to have some money if I died. But it was good to get the premiums back. I think I took out three policies, one each year, and got it all back.

To be fair, I used to take out life insurance in the 1970s. After seven years (I think it was) you got all your premiums back. And had enjoyed a tax deduction on them.

It just means you can't use any of the little letters at the bottom of the picture.

I bet if Trump gets control of the strait he will charge a fee for safe passage.

Jerry this has been the best thread ever since you started speaking truth to prejudice.

Several of my friends didn’t make it to 80 but I plan on doing better. Five pills a day for me at present.

They have two farm properties about 100km apart and need to move machinery and trailer rams etc between them. They spend a lot of time on the road.

Ben Hall was shot at least thirty times.

Too much antisemitic nonsense here. Why accept the propaganda of inherently evil regimes?

My daughter is looking for a big Yank ute. I told her to wait a couple of months and people will be giving them away.

I am hoping the Facebook friend invitations from Desi Freeman will now stop.

Tehran terrain from one direction, terrain Tehran from the other.

It is not Pauline's pay boost.

A friend who drives a big school bus found it is often empty or near empty, but the government contract does not allow a smaller bus nor to not run empty if there are no kids.

I can't let that pass. You would have to be wholly ignorant of the last 40 years of history to think that Iran has not been a threat and an ongoing disrupter of western society, and the leading global sponsor of terrorism. I am very pleased that they have been interrupted in their quest for a nuclear weapon. To argue that the problem is the mullahs and not the people of Iran is a specious argument. Every society must take responsibility for what its leadership does and bear the consequences, as did Germany and Japan.
