The "warmers" have three sinking island chains, the Marshalls, the Solomons, and one by New Guinea. All three are sinking. Precisely nothing else on Earth is sinking.

Ocean rise?

That's what CNN says...

You're making this island disappear


But hopefully not too many of you buy that. Ocean rise would cause everything to sink, not just three Pacific island chains....


So what is causing the islands to sink?

The Pacific Ring of Fire.

All three island chains are right on the "lip" of the tectonic formation known as the Pacific Ring of Fire, on the SUBDUCTION side.

In short, in 3 million years, the Marshall Islands won't just be underwater, they will be under the Earth's crust.


Now, just how incompetent and fraudulent are our climate "scientists" and their allies in the "US" media???

The ocean doesn't act like a tub full of water. Google what the tides are like in Hawaii, and in San Francisco, and in Anchorage and then figure out why.

Water height is heavily affected by pressure, which is heavily affected by various ambient temps.


Learn to weather.
 
The ocean floor is sinking too, so they want us to think. Maybe it will capsize first with all the people there. Fact is islands have been lost, mountains have been gained, weather has changed. It's all just scare tactics to charge you for some BS that will or won't happen no matter how much money they rob from you.
 
"Really 3 million years???"



Glaciers move slowly. Tectonic plates move an inch or two a year... but enough to "sink" islands...

Tectonic plates are the turtle in the race against the glacier "rabbit..."

This might shock you, but ocean's aren't a uniform depth. Currents, winds and tides all play a role in how high the water is relative to land. A small change in sea level won't affect somewhere that doesn't get large tides, but a flat island in the middle of the ocean can find itself inundated by even a small change, if it's coupled with the right conditions.
 
"The ocean doesn't act like a tub full of water"



You are free to argue that water clumps around that which the "warmers" want to claim is "evidence" of "rising" oceans.

Your argument is completely laughable...



The Marshall Islands are sinking because they are on the way down.... all the way down.


Too bad your heroes couldn't figure that out, those "top" "scientists...."

Judging from your other posts during your very short time here, it must have been the Jews.:roll:
 
This might help to explain why the oceans are not rising and the "top" "scientists" have to cherry pick islands near the PROF and lie about them....


90% of Earth ice is in one place, on land mass Antarctica. The "warmers" lie about that ice, even lost in court in 2007 about lying about that ice.

90% of Earth's ice is growing - so sayeth THE DATA...


https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddar...ns-of-antarctic-ice-sheet-greater-than-losses

" Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008."




"“The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away,” Zwally said. “But this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for.”"


or there is another possibility, that the IPCC LIED AND LIED AND LIED AND LIED AND LIED....

What the hell are you talking about here?

The ocean is rising, and always has since we came out of the last ice age. Thermal expansion is a significant part of the sea level rise, and we probably contribute a little bit.

A 1 mm sea level rise is only 0.000027% of an increase in average depth. A 0.1% increase in average sea temperature causes a thermal expansion of about 0.000016%.

I hope you all realize how significant this makes thermal expansion. There is a real increase in sea level due to the melting of northern ice as well, so we really do need to get aerosols like soot under control.

Atmospheric temperature changes have very little to do with sea level rise. The ocean's heat capacity is so much greater than the atmosphere, that it only contributes insignificantly.
 
Really 3 million years??? WGAF? BTW welcome:2wave:

Well, 3 million years for what? A 3,000 meter drop? (just guessing it's 3,000 meters)

That's a 1 mm/year!
 
The ocean doesn't act like a tub full of water. Google what the tides are like in Hawaii, and in San Francisco, and in Anchorage and then figure out why.

Yes it does. That it has tides is separate. The bath tub has tides.

If you wish to argue that the process of Pacific islands slowly sinking back into the sea bed has not been happening for all time then do so but don't try to be superior when you clearly don't understand it.

Off the top of my head, due to latitude, I would say the tides in Hawaii are the greatest, and the tides in Anchorage ore the smallest of the three.

Simply due to the reality of trigonometry, and the alignments of the sun, moon, and earth.

However, that is the lunar cycle tides...

The annual tides are different yet.

Tides in Hawaii are a foot or two a day, in Anchorage 20 feet or so. In some places there's only 1 tide a day. It's complicated by a lot of factors and there's lots or reasons why a change in the ocean would be felt somewhere sooner and more than somewhere else.

edit- one reason for the tides in Anchorage to be greater than Hawaii is that Anchorage is at the edge of the ocean and Hawaii nearer the middle.

I have heard that open ocean tides are about 1 foot, but land shape concentrates that 1 foot to be much higher in some geographies.
The Gulf of Mexico is actually too small to have much of a tide, but get a tide in response to the Atlantic ocean moving up and down.

Such as?

Given that the ocean has a year to allow a 3mm rise to equalize. Note that whilst it is allegededly possible to measure the sea level to the mm you will not be able to feel it to less than the foot.
 
Also, the Marshall Islands aren't part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. They're not even near the edge of the Pacific Plate.



You lie.

They are within 150 miles or so.

The plate on the bottom of the Pacific does not just bend 90 degrees at one spot. The bending is gradual. Everything where the Marshall Islands are is starting to drop an inch or so per year.

All three of the "warmer" island chains that are sinking are doing so from a position within 150 miles of the PROF, on the side that is going under, the subduction side.


Coincidence?


Almost as "coincidence" when the "warmers" took highly correlated satellite and balloon data showing no warming the atmosphere and fudged both with uncorrelated "corrections."

Well, 3 million years for what? A 3,000 meter drop? (just guessing it's 3,000 meters)

That's a 1 mm/year!



It is at a very slight angle right now. The Marshall Islands are moving towards the PROF horizontally and slightly down vertically. The angle will increase as the Marshall Islands get closer and closer to the PROF.
 
"The ocean is rising, and always has since we came out of the last ice age."


There is no net ice melt ongoing to cause an ocean rise. That is why the "warmers" hype these islands on the lip of the PROF. They don't have any ocean rise - none. Most of the millionaire "warmers" have beachfront properties and aren't sellers....

You have the traditionally BS definition of "ice age." It is completely wrong. Ice ages are CONTINENT SPECIFIC. The proof of that also disproves any theory that blames the atmosphere for climate change.

In the past million years, Greenland froze while NA thawed, all at the same time on the same planet with the same atmosphere with the same amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

https://www.livescience.com/7331-ancient-greenland-green.html

"The oldest ever recovered DNA samples have been collected from under more than a mile of Greenland ice, and their analysis suggests the island was much warmer during the last Ice Age than previously thought.

The DNA is proof that sometime between 450,000 and 800,000 years ago, much of Greenland was especially green and covered in a boreal forest that was home to alder, spruce and pine trees, as well as insects such as butterflies and beetles."


And this is the ice cover from the continent specific NORTH AMERICAN "ice age" 1 million years ago...

https://www.google.com/search?q=nor...786&safe=active&ssui=on#imgrc=bTQC6Eb7MyUbAM:



So what caused NA to melt and Greenland to freeze AT THE SAME TIME???

PLATE MOVEMENT.

NA is moving SW.

Greenland is moving NW.


As Greenland's plate got closer and closer to the North Pole, the summers got shorter and colder, and finally failed to fully melt the snow/ice cover from the winter. Then Greenland started to stack ice, and it is that stacking that is the start of a CONTINENT SPECIFIC ICE AGE....
 
You lie.

They are within 150 miles or so.

Guam sits on the edge of the Pacific Plate, Guam is 3000km's from the Marshall Islands. The Solomon Islands are right on the edge of the Pacific Plate, they're 2000kms from the Marshall Islands. Wanna provide some sort of evidence the Marshall Islands are where you think they are?

The plate on the bottom of the Pacific does not just bend 90 degrees at one spot. The bending is gradual. Everything where the Marshall Islands are is starting to drop an inch or so per year.

All three of the "warmer" island chains that are sinking are doing so from a position within 150 miles of the PROF, on the side that is going under, the subduction side.

So when will the Solomon Islands be sucked under the ocean?
