Five Pacific islands vanish from sight as sea levels rise

By Alice Klein

Going, going, gone. Five of the Solomon Islands have been swallowed whole by rising sea levels, offering a glimpse into the future of other low-lying nations.

Sea levels in the Solomon Islands have been climbing by 7 millimetres per year over the last two decades, due to a double whammy of global warming and stronger trade winds.

“It’s a perfect storm,” says Simon Albert of the University of Queensland. “There’s the background level of global sea-level rise, and then the added pressure of a natural trade wind cycle that has been physically pushing water into the Western Pacific.”

The global rate of sea level rise is 3 millimetres per year, but is likely to accelerate to 7 by the end of the century, as rising temperatures melt ice sheets and cause thermal expansion of the oceans, Albert says.

“All the projections show that in the second half of the century, the rest of the globe will reach the rate of sea level rise that the Solomon Islands is currently experiencing,” he says....

I am talking climate systems you are talking geography


"Researchers think the two cycles give each other a boost. The warm PDO combines with the El Niño for wetter-than-average years, and a cold PDO plus a La Niña results in drier years."

The PDO perturbs sea-surface temperatures in the northeastern and tropical Pacific Ocean. The PDO switches between warmer and colder phases about every 20 to 30 years. The cycle was warm from 1925 to 1946, cool between 1947 and 1976, then rocked back to warm from 1997 to 1998. A colder PDO, as in the 1950s and today, is linked to drought in the Southwest and the Plains, but more rain and snow in the Pacific Northwest.

The PDO influences the same pool of tropical water that spawns the El Niño-La Niña cycle, the climate pattern with a huge global effect on precipitation, hurricanes and drought. Researchers think the two cycles give each other a boost. The warm PDO combines with the El Niño for wetter-than-average years, and a cold PDO plus a La Niña results in drier years.

This is obviously far to complicated for you. You should stick to selling your air conditoner gas which is 2000 times more powerful than co2.

This is obviously a very complex system. What do you think your article really tells us nothing in support your apparent thesis that man made global warming is causing forest fires?

I don't get how the lefties can feign such stupidity on this subject.
Have they not lived in warm places do they not realize that as you go towards the equator things get warmer and rainer in general?

Warmth and Sun evaporate more of the ocean. Clouds form and then dump moisture on the land.

Warmth means rain. Cooling means dryer. (in general... tides and mountains can change things.) Does it rain more in the summer where you live?

Fail. The Sahara desert is dry. According to you the warmth should be causing rain there.

I had no idea that Fraud and Ricter are this stupid. It is like talking to a fence post.

Perhaps this can help.
