Prove to me that humans could accurately measure the temperature of the earth and extrapolate the data out.... I doubt it. Anyone notice how global warming was first suppose to alarm us into action over a half a degree of change. That didn't work so they just keep upping the ante. Further more all this talk about sea level rise ???? Haven't seen it.... Why ...physics. Put ice and water in a glass and mark the side of the glass where water line is. Wait for the ice to melt... check the water level....guess what ..no change ... why? Physics.
Ever heard of thermometers? Google it.
Seriously, weather and temperature data are tracked globally every day by thousands and thousands of weather stations around the world, plus satellites, balloons, and other instruments. Have you ever seen a weather forecast? Where do you think they get that information? People have been tracking weather data for hundreds of years.
Also, since you brought up physics, I’m sure you understand how heat causes materials to expand. Even if no new water were to flow into the oceans, they would still expand due to heating. And the oceans really are expanding due to temperature inncreases. That’s a big part of sea level rise. And of course water is also flowing into the oceans too due to ice on land melting — glaciers, ice sheets, etc.
