When you get into a bathtub does the water level rise or lower?

Since that wouldn't work nor is it even feasible, I was thinking maybe if we created large depressions in landmasses like Death Valley in California for seawater to fill as it rises.

Since the Chinks and India couldn't give two shits about the environment I don't think reducing emissions will be very effective.

Nope. Nothing can currently be done. We're already in the runaway environmental effects. In order to even make a dent, you'd need to actually stop every single carbon emission on the planet. Shut down everything. And that wouldn't stop it at this point because it's moving on its own now.So, long story short, we dun goofed, the weather's gonna do some dammicky shit, things are gonna get messy, and it'll be a long fucking time before the weather stabilizes once more.

Our world has had a lot of stages of weather over the course of its history. It's never stayed the same.Over the course of thousands of years, the oceans might have rose on their own.The only thing we've had a hand in, is accelerating how fast the change takes place. The whole speal about us causing global warming or climate change is ridiculously overstating and overestimating our abilities to control anything on this planet.
