Proof of Concept - 12

Fig. 1 Coastal N. Atlantic (red line)

I. Background

In the previous post we took a look at the Coastal N. Pacific.

So, in this post we are taking a look at the Coastal N. Atlantic (Fig. 1).

We can apply the same questions that we used in the previous post to contemplate the falsification or verification of the geological hypothesis.

That hypothesis advanced by geologists is that the changing height of land (land-level-change) is what is causing sea level change in the Coastal N. Pacific (Proof of Concept - 11).

Some of the analogy is the same in the sense that we have both sea level fall in the Coastal N. Atlantic (APNDX Zones, APNDX Combined Zones) as we did in the Coastal N. Pacific.

Another sameness is that a large ice sheet is near both the Coastal N. Atlantic (Greenland Ice Sheet) and the Coastal N. Pacific (Glacier Bay Ice Sheet).

Yet another sameness is that both areas have sea level fall and sea level rise recorded by the PSMSL stations that record sea level with tide gauges (PSMSL).

II. What It Hinges On

One of the main falsification arguments advanced in the previous post was the issue of a hinge point as applied to both land level change and sea level change.

Fig. 2 Ancient Ice Age Factors

A hinge point where sea level fall ends and sea level rise begins is a main point in sea level change science (The Evolution and Migration of Sea Level Hinge Points, 2).

But there is no such evidence for a land level hinge point commensurate and at the same longitude and latitude location where one should be if that land level characteristic is really causing the ocean characteristic.

In other words "where is the land hinge point that equates to the sea level hinge point?".

One important aspect of that falsifying assertion is that the sea level hinge point moves as the ice sheet melts and loses it gravitational power being asserted on the ocean near the ice sheet.

There is no assertion of a hinge point in the land hypothesis, much less one that parallels the sea level hinge point as it moves as the ice sheet melts.

Furthermore, the land hypothesis asserts that vast ice sheets on the land were so thick that they compressed the earth below them, so as they melted from south to north the land beneath the expanded also in that direction.

However, with sea level change the hinge point can move from north to south, east to west, south to north, or west to east depending on where the sea water is compared to where the ice sheet is.

On 'islands' like Greenland and Antarctica where the ocean water is surrounding them, the hinge point is a 360 degree factor.

In the Coastal N. Pacific waters related to Glacier Bay the hinge points are both southward moving and westward moving because the Glacier Bay Ice Sheet is not an island location, so the northward moving ancient ice sheet melt is not causing the southern or western moving hinge points.

Additionally, in both coastal areas the sea level change is both sea level rise and sea level fall activity.

Neither the short term rises and falls (upward and downward zigs and zags) nor the long term upward or downward trends are caused by land moving up and down as long gone ice sheet locations show in Fig. 2 (I added the blue color to show N. America ice age coverage, and some red color to show the current location of Greenland and Glacier Bay).

To accentuate this further I have added graphs of all of the PSMSL tide gauge station reports around the globe, with the country names alphabetized in three new appendices (Appendices A-G, H-M, and N-Y).

So, you can look up coastlines by PSMSL country or coast id number here to see clearly that there is no way the land is moving up and down so rapidly to change sea levels shown in RLR millimeters on those appendices.

III. Book 'em Dano

The fingerprints of sea level change indicate "the culprits" where sea level fall and sea level change is initiated by ice sheet gravity in several origin locations around the globe (see video below; cf. Beyond Fingerprints: Sea Level DNA, 2, 3, 4).

These factors do not get into the geology textbooks because Big Oil pays for them not to:

"Big Oil and U.S. universities have long enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship, as fossil fuel money has flowed to academic centers for decades in exchange for research that advances their objectives, access to policymakers, and civic goodwill. Yet this relationship has for years gone mostly unquestioned by mainstream media and regulators."

(Research or Lobbying? New Documents Reveal What Fossil Fuel Companies Are Really Paying for at Top Universities). In other words, the textbooks are written so as to cover up the events that are endangering current civilization:

"Fossil fuel companies have ploughed more than £147m into British universities in seven years and been given “horrifying” influence over academic degree courses.

An investigation by openDemocracy today reveals that BP, Shell and Equinor are among the firms routinely invited to private meetings with university officials, with some institutions taking direct advice on how to run engineering and geoscience degrees.

One university even had discussions with an oil company about how to push back against 'anti-oil rhetoric'."

(Revealed: Big Oil given direct influence over university courses). It doesn't stop there, even Dredd Blog has been attacked by writers whose pockets have Big Oil's hands in them:

"It would seem that Dredd Blog has raised "their" eyebrows from time to time sufficiently enough to receive an honorable mention from time to time in the books written by those minions; such as in Author Michael C. Lynch's Oil-Qaeda praising work of fiction (Fig. 1) that makes Dredd Blog even more well known than it otherwise would have been:

"Dredd Blog's long-time characterization of the exercise of power in Western Civilization with the Dredd Blog caricature of 'MOMCOM' (Military Oil Media Complex). Why we gave up the old notion of 'MIC' (Military Industrial Complex), as explained in the Dredd Blog post 'MOMCOM: Mean Welfare Queen,' is because it is so yesterday, it is so 1950's reality." 29
(see Fig. 2 for the link). I have to say that Mr. Lynch either has a good staff of researchers, or is one himself, to have fixed upon the Dredd Blog series about MOMCOM (your boss should be proud, Michael)."

(Oil-Qaeda & MOMCOM Conspire To Commit Depraved-Heart Murder- 6). You can read more about that in other posts linked to in that post.

IV. Closing Comments

This current civilization is 'owned' by big oil ('Oil-Qaeda') and they are not all 'don't ask don't tell' about it:

"Dozens of US universities, however, retain links with the fossil-fuel industry in a variety of ways, despite the growing pressure on them to cut them. Several host Exxon representatives on campus and even provide them with office space, similar to Princeton’s previous arrangement, a Guardian investigation has found."
