Why is one island that barely breached the surface for an immeasurably small period of time in geological terms, disappearing and 1,000,000 others not "disappearing" at the same rate?
The planet is warming overall. it's been happening for over 10,000 years. That's not a debatable fact and not disputed by anyone. Everyone understands we are coming out of an ice age and the planet is warming.
What i am talking about is the hysteria and horrible science... and impossibly shitty examples like the one cited in this thread which is backed up with absolutely ZERO science or even logic whatsoever.
So... what is this atoll all about? Every single article about it says its sinking due to "global warming" and "rising sea levels". Some passively mention as a footnote the horrible series of storms that wiped out a huge portion of the vegetation, leading to severe erosion. Some mention as a footnote, the dropping water table due to human pressure, under the atoll causing it to fall. Are these not contributing factors? So if its ONLY "rising sea levels"... then is the argument that there is a magical low pressure system hovering over ONLY this particular atoll? Islands rise out of the water adn sink constantly. The trailing end of the Hawaiian islands are sinking back into the sea as we speak. Plate tectonics can't possibly be a contributing factor?
There are literally countless numbers of atolls that are similar. Why is one disappearing because of "rising sea levels"? Why is only one in the news? Why aren't hysterical alarmists showing the other many 1000s which are very similar in terms of barely being above the water which also must be disappearing to make a solid case?
I can understand logic and reason aren't your strong points given your incessant, one sided political rants... while insisting you are not biased at all... but surely this very simple logical dilemma is one you can understand.
Also... funny to note that the world got involved trying to relocate these people and in typical hippie asshole fashion where we are only allowed to see good in everyone... they relocated them into the middle of a civil war on a nearby island that left over 10,000 people dead.
