So what these people have been fighting for 30 years is a rock that only rose 6 inches out of the water?? Are you kidding me? And now it makes Yahoo’s front page as an argument in favor of Global Warming?

People, this is a piece of rock that could be covered up with a high tide, or lapped over by a boats wake much less to say the oceans natural waves. It could very well be the sea bottom below has sunk a little each year. Sand is very light weight and the ocean floor is always changing as are the coastal beaches. I’m sure if I took a few minutes I could find other reasons that sound far more valid.

However, it seems to me the more important need here is to mark that sucker so a ship or boat doesn’t run up on it.

“What these two countries could not achieve from years of talking, has been resolved by global warming,” said Hazra.Scientists at the School of Oceanographic Studies at the university have noted an alarming increase in the rate at which sea levels have risen over the past decade in the Bay of Bengal.Until 2000, the sea levels rose about 3 millimeters 0.12 inches a year, but over the last decade they have been rising about 5 millimeters 0.2 inches annually, he said.
