If that as a case, why don’t you do these nations of favor and tell them they better get busy and moved a higher ground.
I don’t think you understand what a “nation” is. It isn’t a home in the suburbs. You don’t put it up for sale and look for something split level with a good school system. But
OK, let look at one of the articles. New Study Finds 8 Islands Swallowed By Rising Sea Level by Forbes.
Pretty straight forward. In 350 years, the nation is gone under water.
Now, we know that 350 years is the rate mother nature’s water rise without manmade CO2 in the air. That is because the highest island is only 15 feet high and the smaller ones are less than a yard high. It is no big deal for large waves to go right over the tops of these islands today. The people have only lived there for a few hundred years. So, it is not like most nations.
Now what am I supposed to do with this data? CC, took a data dump and left no tie in. I said if you know something the rest of the world does not, then tell them their country is going under water and move. Because the alarmist has the sea rise taking 35 years not 350 years like Forbes is quoting.
Then you hit me with I don’t understand what a nation is.
So far, nothing has anything to do with missing water and sea rise caused by Climate Change. I would bet you and CC just made the tie in with Climate Change and assumed that was the cause by Climate Change sea level rise. But the problem is there has been no Climate Change sea level rise. Or Forbes would have brought that up.
Forbes – “The Earth is warming, the oceans are rising. That is an absolute fact. Regardless of what cause you attribute the changes to, humans must adapt to a different world than the one we’ve built our civilizations on.”
Nothing about Climate Change. The earth has been warming for the last 90,000 years and we are in the peak of that warm cycle right now. The more the earth warms the more the oceans heat up and expand. We are at the warmest part of the Halogen Ice Age and we should expect the earth to continual to warm for the next century at least. Do to the heat lags that follow the cycles of earth and sun.
My question to you is why do you think that Forbes will not contribute sea level rise to Climate Change? Maybe because there has been no sea level rise over Mother’s Natures rise. But Forbes knows that Climate Change is what people are going to contribute sea level rise to. They just don’t want to get involved in the house of cards type of science the democrats are playing.
The biggest problem with measuring sea rise is the water expanding or contracting due to temperature and the land is also rising or falling at different rates.
Most land being taken over by sea level rise is because of sinking land, not rising water. I checked the internet to see what was going on with the Tuvalu Islands and I found a study from the University of Auckland.
The Pacific nation of Tuvalu—long seen as a prime candidate to disappear as climate change forces up sea levels—is actually growing in size, new research shows.
A University of Auckland study examined changes in the geography of Tuvalu’s nine atolls and 101 reef islands between 1971 and 2014, using aerial photographs and satellite imagery.
It found eight of the atolls and almost three-quarters of the islands grew during the study period, lifting Tuvalu’s total land area by 2.9 percent, even though sea levels in the country rose at twice the global average.
Co-author Paul Kench said the research, published Friday in the journal Nature Communications, challenged the assumption that low-lying island nations would be swamped as the sea rose.
“We tend to think of Pacific atolls as static landforms that will simply be inundated as sea levels rise, but there is growing evidence these islands are geologically dynamic and are constantly changing,” he said.
“The study findings may seem counter-intuitive, given that (the) sea level has been rising in the region over the past half century, but the dominant mode of change over that time on Tuvalu has been expansion, not erosion.”
It found factors such as wave patterns and sediment dumped by storms could offset the erosion caused by rising water levels.
The Auckland team says climate change remains one of the major threats to low-lying island nations.
But it argues the study should prompt a rethink on how such countries respond to the problem.
Rather than accepting their homes are doomed and looking to migrate to countries such as Australia and New Zealand, the researchers say they should start planning for a long-term future.
