    rising sea levels – definitely is a cause of concern and it should be to everyone – minus the republicans

    in case of india and bangladesh – its a concern to both the neighbors

    but i think – that – as the sole cause for peace -> that’s a bit of a stretch…

    its a good thing though.. makes me smile

    cheers

    Was it really rising sea levels? As in it got smaller and smaller each year as the level rose by a couple mm’s? Are you sure it wasn’t just a sandbar in an estuary?

    Not really Global warming, just simple water action and erosion of a sandbar.. Good scary headlines though . Keep it up alarmists….you are very desperate now..

    The ocean has risen two feet in the last 30 years. There was probably a hurricane. (Typhoon?)

    And another point: climate change activists lose alot of credibility by blaming things on climate change that OBVIOUSLY have nothing to do with it.

    That’s absurd. Even by the worst estimates, sea levels are rising by less than 4mm per year. There were obviously different factors working here. You should know better than to even post such cause-and-effect nonsense.
