Mining to blame for islands to sink beneath waves

Two small islands in South Asia’s first marine biosphere reserve have sunk into the sea primarily as a result of coral reef mining, experts say.

The islets were in a group in the Gulf of Mannar, between India and Sri Lanka.

Fishermen had indiscriminately and illegally mined invaluable coral reefs around the islets of Poomarichan and Villanguchalli for many decades, said S Balaji, chief conservator of forests and wildlife for that region of Tamil Nadu state.

Mr Balaji said rising sea level as a result of global warming was also a factor behind the islands’ submergence.

Mandatory global warming BS  ?????????????????

But this was questioned by Simon Holgate from the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory in Liverpool, UK, who said observations showed that the sea level in the region had been rising slower than the global average.

“I think that global sea level rise had little impact on the disappearance of these islands and it must be due to other reasons, possibly the mining of coral reefs,” Dr Holgate told BBC News.

Called out ?????????????????

Below 350 ppm, these types of catastrophic events simply couldn’t have happened. Certainly not two record floods in the same year in the US.

The world’s top rated scientists tell us that the weather was safe below 350 ppm, so we know that this flood never really happened.

The most intense heat wave that has

Today is a beautiful day in Colorado, but my climate model tells me that without climate change – a massive tornado would have swept through Denver killing hundreds of millions of people.

As Trenberth says, “global warming is unequivocal.” It saved as many as a billion lives in Denver today.

Disclaimer : While we can’t say that any specific catastrophic event which didn’t happen is due to climate change, we can say that we expect the frequency of catastrophic non-events to increase – as CO2 increases.
