    I plan to locate places where I believe they would love some global warming.

    Start with Siberia. This is the coldest city on Earth.

    We Canadians are sure enjoying this winter.

    My wife informed me that in Germany though The Danube froze over for the first time in recorded history.

    Some sort of a shift seems to be taking place.

    People in the town of Truro, Nova Scotia have more reason than most others to be less than thrilled with the rapid collapse of the Greenland Ice Pack and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.

    ..... I have a question on basic physics that I believe you can turn
    into a mission in life.

    In my part of Nova Scotia, Guysborough County near Sherbrooke, the difference from
    low tide to high tide isn't much more than one meter.

    As you know extremely well........ in parts of your riding the difference from low tide to high tide is around FIFTEEN
    meters.

    My question is.......... if a significant amount of cracking and sliding of ice on the West Antarctic
    Ice Sheet were to occur...... and if average ocean levels were to rise by one meter...... would the
    difference along part of the Bay of Fundy continue to have a FACTOR OF 15 X?

    Would a one meter rise in average ocean levels translate into another fifteen meters added to high tide
    due to the funneling effect that the Bay of Fundy has on the tidal waters as it comes in???????

    I don't know the answer to this question.

    I am hoping that there is some other factor that would lessen the
    multiplier effect on high tides in parts of your riding........... but the
    question needs to be asked...... because my online friend Mr. Carl Cantrell
    gave me an alternative theory on how to address climate stabilization that
    has the side benefit of also directly addressing the threat of rising ocean levels.

    Obviously every cubic meter of ocean water that is desalinated and added to the
    water table of Israel, Jordan, Qatar, Tunisia, California, Saudi Arabia, Australia or any
    other nation with lots of desert is good news for people whose homes are along the Bay of Fundy.

    About tides. I think the most vital factor is found at the ocean bottom. Is the coast the edge of a shallow to deep ocean? Is the ocean depth increasing rapidly not far from shore? More than ice, check the bottom of the ocean topography.

    An intelligent person could have told their story. I will find one at some point. Count on it.

    I am looking at the laws of physics, the topography from shore to deep sea so I see no reason the ocean bottom is not a major factor in depth of tides.

    Yes... that is certainly important.......
    in the case of the Bay of Fundy along the coasts of Maine, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.... the
    tide is pulling in water from many kilometers and it is then funnelled into a more and more narrow
    are until the tidal water piles up on top of other tidal waters.

    I especially like the diagram here that shows how part of the Bay of Fundy has
    tides of seven meters... further east part of the Fundy experiences eight meters and on and on
    up to Truro... that has a difference bettween low tide to high tide of fifteen meters.

    Dad used to talk of high tides when we both worked for the same construction firm here in CA. I read the explanation. Can't beat what oceanographers tell us.

    Thanks @Bowerbird for removing the snark. Had I seen it earlier, I could have deleted my comments as well.
