Sinking Tuvalu fights to keep maritime boundaries as sea levels rise

Tuvalu, whose mean elevation is just 2 m (6.56 ft), has experienced a sea-level rise of 15 cm (5.91 inches) over the past three decades, one-and-a-half times the global average.
By 2050, NASA scientists project that daily tides will submerge half of the main atoll of Funafuti, home to 60% of Tuvalu's residents, where villages cling to a strip of land as narrow as 20 m in parts.
Life is already changing: Tuvaluans rely on rainwater tanks and a central raised garden for growing vegetables, because saltwater inundation has ruined groundwater, affecting crops.


Interesting thing they are pushing for, being able to retain control of a vast maritime zone with lucrative fishing rights even after the country has sunk under the waves.

It's an atoll and reef based island system. Those are subject to erosion.

Blame that instead of sea level rise.

I will leave it up to the people that live there!

It has nothing to do with the people, it has to do with geology, erosion, and the fact that the volcanic activity that built those islands ended millions of years ago.

The sea level is not rising, the island is sinking. Same problem as south Florida.

How will they know?

The sea level is not rising, the island is sinking. Same problem as south Florida.

And the part of the Louisiana Delta not by the Atchafalaya river.

JFC.

NASA seems to regard the sea level increase as more significant than local subsidence.

NASA-UN Partnership Gauges Sea Level Threat to Tuvalu

A partnership between the United Nations and NASA is helping to assess threats from sea level rise to the Tuvalu island group.

As though NASA has the sea level increase there all wrong.

NASA has published a 5 inch sea level rise for the entire Pacific Ocean?

Where?

Tuvalu is starting to sink. It is approaching the Pacific Ring of Fire. In 10 million years, it will not just be underwater, it will be under the Earth's crust too...

This has nothing to do with sea level, and proves once again that the Co2 FRAUD cannot find anything sinking from "ocean rise" that is not happening, and hence is forced to lie about these south Pacific Islands as they approach PROF...

NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS LIE HAS BEEN TRIED... Solomon Islands are right next to Tuvalu....

Life in a disappearing country

It's one of the clearest injustices of climate change: The Marshall Islands likely won't exist if we warm the planet 2 degrees. I traveled to the remote Pacific to learn what it's like to try to process that doomsday forecast. And why some people already are making the painful decision to leave...

Atlantis sank in under six minutes(5. 43 minutes) due to glow-ball warming. Donovan witnessed it himself then wrote/sang a song about the incident during the 1960's. The "warmies", don't have a laugh a minute without them!

If by right next to you mean 1100 miles....

No, That Was Moses. But Pretty Close, According to the Demwits.
