El Cid Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 Which article specifically do you mean? However, the report stresses that the inundation does not result from rising sea levels alone. It found that shoreline recession was substantially worse in areas exposed to high wave energy, and that extreme events and inappropriate development were also factors contributing to the erosion. The Solomon Islands, a nation made up of hundreds of islands and with a population of about 640,000, lies about 1,000 miles north-east of Australia. Any facts you like, but not fake ones.

Cyclone Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Me neither. So that report says that islands are lost to a combination of sea level increasing and coastal erosion. Okay, fair enough. That doesn't alter anything about other predictions for an accelerated trend in sea level rising, ultimately resulting in fairly large increases in sea level which would potentially flood large populated areas of the world.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Weren't they worrying, a while ago, about Doncaster being on the coast? Imagine: "Yes, we're going to Doncaster-on-Sea for our holiday this year." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, fair enough. The title of the thread is 'sea level rise'; many have discussed climate change before. Anyone that is not prepared/able to search for the correct facts, will not be persuaded way or the other by posts on here. Nice to have a chat, but a climate change crusade seems futile. ---------- Post added 10-01-2018 at 18:21 ---------- If Gore was to be believed it would have been Hillfoot Bridge by the sea, get the canoe ready were going to Morrisons. Sheffield had its own flooding, I assume you class that as normal weather; and not a sign of more extreme weather - as climate change predicted. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-40380673 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extreme heatwaves and heavy rain storms are already happening with increasing regularity worldwide because of man-made climate change, according to new research. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/apr/27/extreme-weather-already-on-increase-due-to-climate-change-study-finds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you should learn the difference between weather and climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
