Nova Scotia is in danger of being cut off from the rest of Canada as the Atlantic Ocean rises, according to the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

    A 7cm rise in the next 100 years will cut off NS? I doubt it.

    The area north of Pictou to Truro is at or below sea level for the most part as it is wetlands.

    Onward the fear mongers.

    Well lets keep on fixing it per the ecofascist's method of lunacy.

    Give Russia another $2 billion for carbon credits. Sure it wasted money pissed away against the wall but WTF? It gets the busy bodies and other useless idiots off the governments back.

    From "Is Tuvalu really sinking?" - http://www.pacificmagazine.net/issue/2002/02/01/is...

    ....let's check the instruments. As it turns out, estimates of globally averaged sea level rise in the 20th century are irrelevant since Tuvalu's local sea level change is very different from the globally averaged change. There are three estimates of sea level changes for Tuvalu. The first is a satellite record showing that the sea level has actually fallen four inches around Tuvalu since 1993 when the hundred-million dollar international TOPEX/POSEIDON satellite project record began. Second comes from the modern instruments recording tide gauge data since 1978. There the record for Tuvalu shows ups and downs of many inches over periods of years. For example, the strong El Nino of 1997-98 caused the sea level surrounding Tuvalu to drop just over one foot. The El Nino Southern Oscillation is a natural - as opposed to man-made -future of the Pacific Ocean, as areas of the Pacific periodically warm then cool every few years, causing significant sea level rises and falls every few years in step with the co-oscillations of the ocean and atmosphere. The overall trend discerned from the tide gauge data, according to Wolfgang Scherer, Director of Australia's National Tidal Facility, remains flat. "One definitive statement we can make," states Scherer, "is that there is no indication based on observations that sea level rise is accelerating." Finally, there is the new estimate by scientists at the Centre Nationale d¹Etudes Spatiales who also find that between 1955 and 1996 the sea level surrounding Tuvalu dropped four inches.

    All these measurements show that Tuvalu has suffered, at worst, no sea level rise.


    Halifax tidal guages indicate no rise or fall in sea level for decades.

    So we get a nice ferry service or build a 10 foot bridge. This isn't an actual issue is it?

    a) Truro is south of Pictou
    b) Mount Thom, the highest point on mainland NS, is in the mountain range between the two.

    No, it isn't. It's just fear mongering to prop up the failing theory of AGW (which is now being called climate change since the whole warming scam hasn't been going according to plan.)

    a) Yes, draw a line between the two. I am referring to the peninsula that connects to the plateau of New Brunswick.
    b) And Mount Martock is great skiing for an ant hill. Still doesn't change the fact of the wetlands with highest tides in the world are eroding the Appalachian 'mountains'. This is without the effect of global warming.

    Tides are not eroding mountains - that's not even what the IPCC or the minister are saying.

    I'm guessing this is the key to the article:
    The minister said federal assistance is essential.

    how could the province be cut off ? is this kind of fear over environment suppose to help the green leader who is running in that same area ?

    and i really wonder how they even came to such a conclusion in the first place .
