Shripadk, mean sea level is actually irrelevant as far as these calculation are concerned. Really irrelevant. The climate scientists throw around their 1 to 10 metre or more scenarios and so all we need concern ourselves with is the gross minimum volume of ice required to melt. Since the planet is an oblate sphere with a non-uniform land distribution and we have a large moon orbiting the planet, any prediction of what we would expect to see as an ocean level rise will depend critically on where on the planet you are stationed as well as the effects of tides. In addition, any rises of the magnitudes predicted will require more ice to be melted not less as there will be inundation effects that will, in effect, increase the amount of surface area attributed to the oceans. Hence, all calculations are a minimum not a maximum. If you want to seriously model tidal and inundation effects, then the amount of energy will greater and hence more unexplained by these very climate scientists. If they cannot give an explanation of the energy requirements for a minimum then they will most certainly be unable to explain for any situation requiring tidal and inundation effects to be accounted for. So mean ocean level is irrelevant.

Again, we keep asking you for proof and citations and links to your sources, and you keep calling people liars and deflecting from answering the questions. Until you post links to sources that actually prove what you say, instead of reciting anecdotes about how some mean old scientist ignored you 15 years ago, there's no reason for anyone to take you seriously, and there's a lot of evidence explaining why you're treated like an anathema.

How is mean sea level irrelevant? Global warming directly affects the mean sea level. You don't need to go around measuring surface area/volume of ocean,ice and land and what not! All you need is to calculate the mean sea level and compare it with historical data. And your theory on tidal effects of the moon falls flat because mean sea level takes all those factors into consideration! How? The name itself suggests that it's a "mean" over all variations in the sea levels due to tidal or inundation effects. Unless the gravitational pull of the moon dramatically increased or the moon got closer to the Earth your theory makes some sense. But the effects are pretty uniform. So mean sea level is the only meaningful statistic here. It's real and measurable. Everything else is bogus claims by climate change deniers!
