Is there such a thing as global warming, if so where are the waterlevel height records from around the world to show the impact of the melt?

Sea level increases.
Loads of them.

these show just a few of the different time scales involved. There are many more., and much more detailed stuff available, particulalry in scientific papers not available on internet

Re: Sea level increases.
Worth noting that it is the mealting ice on the land that causes most of the rise - ice floating on the sea does not increase water levels. Try it with some ice cubes and a full galss of water.
So we can loose a fair bit now as most of it is sea ice, it is when the greenland ice sheets start going that it will be nasty (from a man living near sea level...)

Re: Sea level increases.
I also though that warmer but same mass of water meant greater volume due to expansion?

Re: Sea level increases.
How often has your G&T overflowed as the ice melts? (Notwithstanding that you've drunk it before that happened).
It can only be the landborne ice that melts and enters the ocean that would have an effect on sea levels, surely. And wouldn't that have a greater effect around the equator?

Re: Sea level increases.
Suggest you read the latest novel by Michael Chrichton called State of Fear. My first reaction to it was "what a load of cobblers" but I started checking the science behind it. Have a read, check the references and then lets discuss it further.

Aha .. water around freezing actually expands as it cools or contracts as it warms, however the vast amount of the oceans are in warmer climes where the heating of warm water will cause expansion

Re: Sea level increases.
Skeptical environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg is worth a read, too. Prof Lomborg's book puts the case that global warming is not the catastrophe that is popularly beleived and he uses the same publicly available data as the enviornmentialst lobby.
FWIW, environmemtalism has become too much like a religion for my liking, this book brings abit of balance to the discussion.

probably but as global warming is a natural cyclic accurance and nothing to do with homo sapiens so there is nothing we can do.
And the ozone layer will be back to it's pre industrial level within 50 years as it is naturally recovering from it's natural depletion.

Probably. When it gets very cold, my knee joints develop a persistent hake.
