Alone? No, it's not as bad as PEI, Richmond BC or Sable Island perhaps and its very existence is not threatened like some island in the Pacific.

Which island would that be, exactly?


Are the Maldives in the Pacific? (blond moment, too lazy to look it up too ;-))

What I meant to say, is that we can all scream and cry, and sit and wait, but nothing changes then. Build dikes, strengthen the existing ones, and learn a lesson from other shores that have been flooded in the past century. See with what solution they've come up.

Bangladesh is below sea-level, but misses the means to do something about the every year flooding, so they cope. Holland is below sea-level for the most part. The last time the sea flooded that country, was in 1953. After that, dikes were build, and the Delta-werken. It works. If you don't want to be flooded, take precautions, because nature will always take its course. Nothing we can do about...

uhh.. Malidves are in the Indian ocean.

i saw a report on tv about some very small islands in the Pacific

that will be evacuated in a year or two.. the islanders blame

global warming.. probably cause they were told to..

Nova Scotia.. meh.. build a dike with a big highway on it..

Since about the year 1800, the Earths "average temperature" has been on a natural upward average trend of 0.5 degree Celsius per century. This "natural rise" or recovery from the Little Ice Age, when subtracted from estimated 0.6 degree Celsius rise over the past century, leaves almost no rise at all for anthropogenic effects, including green house gas.

South west of India. Much research has been done which indicates no sea-level rise there.

The Tuvalu/Maldives flooding myth was an Australian agricultural economist in a fit of Barcardi like enthusiasm, concluded that because the places were mere meters above sea level that they were flooding becuase al Gore said sea level was rising. No other basis than unsupported assumption of a myth.

I recall many years back, my first trip across the causeway from Sackville NB to Amhurst NS. High tide.
My impression-----Nova Scotia is a $%%^^& island..........

What causeway?


I am unsure if it is "designated" a causeway but the main highway from NB to NS crosses extensive marshland at the head of the Bay of Fundy. The raised roadway is a de facto causeway.

On your map, the highway that links Sackville NB to Amhurst NS. The NS inspection station is situated before the first NS exit.

Carteret Atoll


Like all pacific Attolls these are coral formation on top of a submerged/semi-submerged volcanic seamount. These largely extinct volcanoes are heaps of volcanic ash which are constantly settling. It is not rising sea levels so much as a sinking island. And everyone knows it. Not rocket science.

When I was in Indonesia, years back, we had an emergency rescue to perform. Anything that could float---to rescue pigs and people and keep the sharks at bay. A small inhabited atoll, sank like a stone in minutes following an earthquake. Apparently, an empty magma chamber was under the atoll/seamount and the volcanic ash/vulcanic cone collapsed into it after the jarring of the earth quake. It was in effect a giant sink-hole.

Blaming this natural subsidence on GW is just plain BS. There is no detectable sealevel rise anywhere else globally. Sea level MAY rise 7 cm in the next century---IPCC.

I'm curious. Since all Oceans are connected how come we don't hear about rising sea levels on the coasts of every country?

As a Canadian born and raised in Nova Scotia and living in Halifax for 54 years, I will not let IPCC fear mongering overcome me.... I will not succumb to Al Gore and his ilk...

The deceit, chicanery and lies of the IPCC will not cause me to surrender any of my personal liberties.... NOR will I give them up without a fight...

In 200 million years Earth could look something like this.

It must be man's fault that the continents are moving. We must take action to fight continental drift. Antarctica and Australia belong in the southern hemisphere we cannot allow them to move up next to North America.
