Mount Everest is more than two feet taller, China and Nepal announce
Climate Myopia and ignorance void of "science" and history are essential to promote political agendas:
We have all been told that sea levels are rising but could Florida sinking (again)?
Throughout most of its history, Florida has been under water.
Portions of the Florida peninsula have been above or below sea level at least four times.
Are the volcanic calderas causing Baia Rome to rise again?
More than 2,000 years ago, Baia was the Las Vegas of the Roman Empire. Then it sank into the ocean.
But recently it has been rising from the sea floor!
Are sea levels falling or are mountains rising?
Is volcanic activity part of the mix?
Are tectonic plates shifting or are agenda driven politicians shifty?
Mount Everest is more than two feet taller, China and Nepal announce
The reason why the newly agreed figure may be temporary is because the 2,900km-long Himalayan chain is located on, and was formed by, the uplift caused by the colliding Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, which are continuing to push up the Himalaya at an average of 1cm every year.
Meanwhile, back in Rome...
..."underground pressure has caused the land surrounding Baia to continuously rise and fall, pushing the ancient ruins upwards towards the sea’s surface before slowly swallowing them again.
Because of the undulation of the Earth’s crust, these ruins actually lie in relatively shallow water, at an average depth of 6m, allowing visitors to see some of its eerie underwater structures from a glass-bottomed boat.
