Sinking Tuvalu fights to keep maritime boundaries as sea levels rise

[EMH]

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

In terms of being on the rim of the Pacific Ring of Fire...

Sorry if you do not understand basic Earth tectonic movement....

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

Many of the scientists will not get employed unless they buy into the scam. And with the lowering of standards, well you know. Still smarter than me. Just do not trust them.

It is religion. The job of the taxpayer funded "climate scientist" is to take data showing no warming and fudge it to show "warming" that does not exist.

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.

Now let's see them enforce it.

Wrong numbers. Tuvalu sea rise is 3.9 mm annually which is 0.153543 inches. A bit more than 1/8 of an inch. With the island being 2 meters above sea level, it would take at the present rate 7'6' above sea, 90 /.153 = 588 years to be flooded. 12,000 live on the islands.

This is 100% about the tectonic plate going down, because there is no ocean rise.

You are an idiot. The sea level has been rising for over 20,000 years.

Then why is there no ocean rise by the Statue of Liberty?

What will happen to Tuvalu when it disappears underwater due to global warming and rising sea levels?
ANSWER: That’s going to be difficult. Tuvalu is actually growing not sinking.
Scientists at the University of Aukland analyzed hundreds of high-definition aerial photographs taken of Tuvalu's 101 islands over the last 40 years. Since 1970, the nation's total size has increased by nearly 3 percent. The islands have added some 73.5 hectares, or 181.6 acres, of new land.
Despite rising sea levels, the study showed at least 73 of Tuvalu's 101 islands are larger than they were 40 years ago.

Because it's only rising at 3 to 4 mm/yr and you aren't going to see that with your eye from photos taken from different angles and different distances. There's no precision there.

Fact Check: Sea Level Rise A Myth? No, Viral Photos Of Statue Of Liberty Misleading

Viral photos of the Statue of Liberty taken more than 100 years apart do not disprove sea level rise as they don’t account for tidal fluctuations, even though a global increase in sea levels has been documented.

Are those islands volcanically active?

That's how most of the south Pacific islands grew in the first place.

All the "old photos" were done at high tide again...

LOL!!!

Your side says Lady Liberty should be a full foot lower... is she...

No change over more than 120 years...

Tuvalu is a volcanic archipelago, and consists of three reef islands (Nanumanga, Niutao and Niulakita) and six true atolls (Funafuti, Nanumea, Nui, Nukufetau, Nukulaelae and Vaitupu).

Looks like a large daily variation in water levels. Weird.

Once again lying in front of everyone here....

There is no ocean rise by Lady Liberty.

There is only the Co2 FRAUD lying, along with its Mossad supporters...

I didn't lie, it looks like a large daily variation in water levels.

I'm sorry I make you look like an idiot.

Point out the photos where you "see" a "variation."

You can't measure sea level changes with your eyes. There's no accuracy. There's no precision.

Every single photo showed a variation.
It's called "tides".
You were a moron before the Jews started messing with you.
