Original Note:
1) It’s a linked video, there is no swell. The boat is stationary 2) hot air rises, density based atmospheric refraction lensing would therefore cause distant objects to be *slightly* higher, not lower. This is our eyes verifying globe earth. (Can see without zoom cam too) https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/find-a-horizon-and-savor-the-bending-of-light/#:~:text=Strong%20refraction%20at%20the%20horizon,view%20before%20they%20actually%20rise.
