bigwave Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 This should end all the Pacific Island climate claims right here. A new study of over 700 islands for decades shows that even though seas are rising faster than any time in the last million years, somehow no islands with people on are shrinking. This means there are no climate change refugees from any vanishing island. Plus it’s more proof that highly adjusted satellite data is recording sea levels on some other planet. Over the past decades, atoll islands exhibited no widespread sign of physical destabilization in the face of sea-level rise. A reanalysis of available data, which cover 30 Pacific and Indian Ocean atolls including 709 islands, reveals that no atoll lost land area and that 88.6% of islands were either stable or increased in area, while only 11.4% contracted. Look how closely these researchers are tracking the shores. Below on Tuamoto, French Polynesia, scientists can tell you that islets 12 and 14 (see pic) have disappeared since 1962. So we can track roving blobs of sand about 20 to 30 meters across. No habitable island, none, got smaller: The researchers reckon that 10 hectares is about the smallest island you’d want to plonk a resort on, that’s about that is about ten Rugby fields. Conveniently for us, no island bigger than 10 hectares shrank despite the world adding two thousand coal fired plants and a billion cars. It is noteworthy that no island larger than 10 ha decreased in size, making this value a relevant threshold to define atoll island areal stability. We therefore propose to use this threshold, first, to define the minimum island size required for human occupancy or exploitation, and second, to assess atoll and atoll countries and territories’ vulnerability to climate change. Using this threshold for future island development (e.g., resort island) would considerably limit the risk for new developments to be negatively affected by island areal and positional instability, on condition of also avoiding any human intervention that may alter island sediment budget (e.g., sediment extraction) and natural dynamics (e.g., obstruction of sediment transport and deposition by constructions) See the graph. All the larger islands are staying the same size or growing. Coming next, panic that rising oceans are shrinking because islands are expanding. And if you can follow that, there is a job waiting for you at the UNEP. REFERENCE Duvat, V. K. E. (2018). A global assessment of atoll island planform changes over the past decades.

SgtFuryUSCZ Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 ***/// All the facts that debunk the hair-on-fire liberals' shrieking about Climate Change is always met with them lashing out against TRUTH... It's their M.O. So expect push-back on this. But good for the sane rest of US to know the facts. Thanks, BDubya !! ! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texstorm Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Thanks BW ! The truth is out there. Maybe we should start selling beach front property in Colorado to all those global warming believers. You can't fix stupid ! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentinel7 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 If you fill up a bathtub with water then put a fat little baby in it the water level goes up. If you put a second fat little baby in the tub the water level goes up more. So climate change freaks where is the water going?

Sentinel7 Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 I figured it out. Because of global warming causing the seas to rise the upward pressure on the islands is too much and they broke free. Now we have floating islands that is why the seas are rising every place but the islands. Now we have a bigger problem islands floating around could strike and sink shipping. Not only that if the inhabitants inadvertently move too much weight to one side or the other it will capsize killing all. How much does that job pay?

Lol, I am not a liberal by any stretched of imagination, but I am from the islands of Micronesia. I have seen too many pictures of the destruction of land and reef from friends and families who are still living on the island. I am just bringing information for all to digest it and give comments. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what.....An offense to some and a medal to others ( same as being labeled as soft or hard-core conservative)....As usual...It depends on the perspective.....That's what Democracy is all about....Right? Objectivity doesn't exist...It's only human to be slightly or bigly partisan..... The Guardian is only slightly social-issues oriented.... You should have then mentioned Democracy.org and People 's World which are much more sided instead.....Which is good Edited November 4, 2018 by umbertino 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
