What a load of crap. Here is the latest sky is falling hysteria from the eco nuts.

Disappearing world: Global warming claims tropical island
For the first time, an inhabited island has disappeared beneath rising seas. Environment Editor Geoffrey Lean reports.

Rising seas, caused by global warming, have for the first time washed an inhabited island off the face of the Earth. The obliteration of Lohachara island, in India's part of the Sundarbans where the Ganges and the Brahmaputra rivers empty into the Bay of Bengal, marks the moment when one of the most apocalyptic predictions of environmentalists and climate scientists has started coming true.

As the seas continue to swell, they will swallow whole island nations, from the Maldives to the Marshall Islands, inundate vast areas of countries from Bangladesh to Egypt, and submerge parts of scores of coastal cities.

Eight years ago, as exclusively reported in The Independent on Sunday, the first uninhabited islands - in the Pacific atoll nation of Kiribati - vanished beneath the waves. The people of low-lying islands in Vanuatu, also in the Pacific, have been evacuated as a precaution, but the land still juts above the sea. The disappearance of Lohachara, once home to 10,000 people, is unprecedented.

Hmm, a whole island submerged because the Ocean is rapidly rising. Hmm.


Was the island in question 6 centimeters high? Could it be the island is sinking? That would get my vote. I am sure George W. Bush is to blame for this in any case, along with America, and Republicans, and Haliburton, and red meat, and the NRA, and GM and Big Tobacco, and the pharmaceutical industry, and Evangelical Christians and probably to a smart part, Mark Foley.
Yep, those SUVs are going to kill us all.
