I don’t know where these things are happening, but I am sure they are happening somewhere – where poor people live.
Whatever you want to call it, the Earth is experiencing drastic changes. Islands sink as sea levels rise. Instead of denying what we know to be true, that ancient glaciers are thawing, and temperatures are rising rapidly in areas that were cooler in recent history, we should unite in an effort to deal with what we can see, and prepare ourselves for climatic changes that surely lie ahead.
The Sky is Falling! The Sky is Falling! Get your tin foil hats!!!!
Obviously to this gentleman “sinking” means the same thing as “getting bigger” for many islands. It’s the same disorder as WarmCold Syndrome.
Don’t forget all those imaginary refugees fleeing to New Zealand.
The UN told me there was 10 million climate refugees just last year.
I thought there was supposed to be 50 million by last year. Where did they all go?
Gee, was it 50 million? You’re right of course, just checked. Well, 10 million, 50 million, 10 inches sea level rise, 50 meters, 2 degrees, 20 degrees, close enough for government (or intergovernmental) work.
silly fools, they all moved to the hot place call Greenland…
Just hit me with facts and not lies.
Tropical Pacific sea level dropped between 1958 – 2007

Something out there is happening. We don’t know what, but climate experts say that it’s for real. If we don’t stop it RIGHT NOW, we are DOOMED!
I thought is we didn’t stop it years ago we were doomed?
We are doomed. Doomed to failed predictions from AGW Thermists. 😉
“Global hurricane activity at historical record lows: new paper”
“Furthermore, when each storm’s intensity and duration were taken into account, the total global tropical cyclone accumulated energy (ACE) was found to have fallen by half to the lowest level since 1977.”

Nonsense.. with isostatic adjustment, islands are rising!
No, the sea is tilting. I can prove it: today the Roman port of Ephesus is 5 km inland, but the Roman period port of Alexander is now 5m below sea level. Which means sailors now have to sail 10m uphill going from Turkey to Egypt. See I can interpret data.
In hydrogeology we always say – It’s not rocket science, water flows downhill. But now I see that was pre post-normal science. In order to advance their agenda, warmists have shown that water flows uphill when it is caused by AGW. Thanks Bruce. I will add upgradientdowngradient to warmcold, moistdry, and droughtflood so I can keep up with our pre-eminant post-normal climate scientists.
Cripes! I couldn’t get past more than the first dozen paragraphs before I concluded:
STUPID is the new normal.
When this IDIOT lists earthquakes among possible manifestations of “global warming”, then you know you’re dealing with serious BRAIN DAMAGE.
The Univ Colorado is closing their College of Journalism and re-inventing some new entity to address Communications, Technology, Information, and Something Else. They’re trying to come up with a new name, which is obvious to me:
Spin Doctors R Us
[If only I could figure out how to do a reverse “R”]
There’s a beautiful piece of Australian folk lore in this poem by Australian poet John O’Brien (1878 – 1952)
“Said Hanrahan”
http://www.middlemiss.org/lit/authors/obrienj/poetry/hanrahan.html
Living through the era of the ‘Federation’ droughts, bushfires and floods would have given him an insight into “Climate Change” which would surpass the B/S presented these days as Climate Change, Global Warming and Climate Disruption.
“We’ll all be rooned,” said Hanrahan,
