The minions have spoken. National Geographic has been voted off the island.
Pre-industrial temperatures were the temperatures of the Little Ice Age.
Thank Heavens for Global Warming!
Keep those blinders on National Geographic.
Here's a clue: if the oceans rise to the point where the islands are completely inundated, NO ONE WILL LIVE THERE!!!!
Another theory with only faulty science to back it up.
these same islands that Al Gore predicted would have been under water a decade ago?
I remember when they though New Mexico would have ocean front property
This is just more clownism from the left to scare people into there stupid belief system that doesn’t work factually
What Horse hockey
Yet, beach front property around the world is still insanely priced and still rises in value every year.
With far left celebrates buying more than their share.
Hmmmmmmm.........
You lost me at IPCC.
They are sinking - 9 inches every 100 years!
But the Kwajalein tidal gauge operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) shows the mean sea level rise for the atoll is only 2.32 millimeters per year, which is equivalent to just 0.76 feet of sea level rise over 100 years.
I want to see them all put their islands on stilts.
There is a mean sea level marker from 1947 near a beach in Naples Florida that I look at every time I’m there.
It’s amazing that at high tide it is under water. At low tide it is above water.
Both by about the same amount.
So sad that the seas on the other side of the world are so much higher than they used to be! ;-(‘
My buddy has a house on one of the inlets to Tampa Bay. He shows me pictures from 20 years ago where, at high tide, his boat dock rested just at or slightly above the concrete pier.
Now, it’s 2 or 3 steps down from the pier to the dock - a good 2 feet. No dredging or any modifications have been done, to his knowledge since then.
Where did all the water go???
Ah, The Marshall Islands.
He’ll be glad to know this when I tell him.
The minions have spoken. National Geographic has been voted off the island.
Rising seas give island nation a stark choice:...
That’s not stark choice.
I’ll tell you a stark choice.
Wearing the same underwear two days in a row because you didn’t do your laundry or going with no underwear the second day!!!
What’s not a stark choice is believing any alarmist nonsense from garbage science.
If the islanders were that concerned, which I suspect they're not, they could easily solve the problem by building a rock levee a hundred yards off shore on the windward side of the island.
With 600 billion tons of melting ice flowing into oceans that are absorbing heat twice as fast as 18 years ago.
Lava bed under polar cap not reported to fear freaks.
Hawaii lava pouring into ocean for 30 years not a problem.
All caused by man kind
/s
Funny its only effecting one island in the Pacific.
Is it possible the Island is sinking just like Venice, Italy?
Nah, they can tip over but never sink.
National Geographic competing with Weekly World News for creative fiction these days?
Like ice cubes in a glass of water, the displacement doesn't change the level when melting occurs. So the icebergs and ice cap shelves seem like they would cause no rise.
The glaciers on land create a different scenario, but it seems that they would have to all melt in a very short time in order for the water stored in them to run directly into the oceans instead of infiltrating into the soil and replenishing the aquifer.
Am I missing something?
I remember when Gilligan’s Island was sinking.
It turned out the professor was wrong.
In the 1970s climate scientists were absolutely convinced we were entering an ice age based on a few decades of climate data.
Today those same scientists are absolutely convinced we are entering an warm age based on a few decades of climate data.
