Will removing boats from the water, stop the oceans rising?
If all the owners of small boats, Yachts and pleasure craft were forced to remove them from the sea, would that be enough to combat the rising sea levels caused by polar melting?
Answers:
Unfortunately it will not materially affect the sea level and would certainly not affect the expected rise in sea level due to global warming . To illustrate, a similar question was raised in New Scientist recently which was answered as follows:
The world merchant fleet amounts to 880 million dwt. If the empty fleet displaced the same tonnage of water as the cargo it can carry, then the fully laden fleet would displace 1760 million tonnes. Add the displacement of the military fleet and the world's large ships will displace 1767 million cubic metres of water. When spread over the surface of the oceans (about 360 × 1012 square metres), sea level would rise by a mere 5 micrometres. The slightly higher density of sea water makes little difference to this figure.
Sea freight increases at a rate of about 3 per cent annually, equivalent to emptying the contents of 10,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools into the oceans. But this is, indeed, a drop in the ocean - 25,000 times smaller than the annual rise in sea level.
Hope this is useful!
no you idiot. it's the polar ice caps. now if you wanted to keep the oceans from rising then you should go to all the places in the world that are realesing fumes and tell them to shut down. oh and also if you drive a car. get rid of it.
yep.that'll do it everytime...ffs get a grip
No difference whatsoever,
No. lol
yeah defo and take the fish as well that should help.
The effect will be so small that you would not notice, however it will not stop the oceans rising
It wouldn't have the remotest chance of doing so!
no, it might help a little bit but its the polar caps that are melting becuase the world it getting hotter thats making the sea levels rise x
it does seam unlikely,since new islands are beginning to appear in the pacific ocean,besides new waterways will be created that new boaters and fishermen,and fish farmers can utilize.just think of the prestige of a fish with a third floor apartment will have on the opposite sex of it's species
To a small extent, but it would be more productive to ask submarine owners to remove their vessels from the ocean.
Brilliant!
Do you remove flammables from your house while it is on fire?. or do you worry about putting off the fire ? Think!!
It would have more effect if you forced the Dutch to open the dykes again, or asked the Chinese to carry a bottle of sea water each.
