Professor Ian Plimer shows well known geologic proof that the sea basin in that area of the pacific is sinking.I believe southern England is rising & northern England is sinking.As if you tipped a dinner plate.Many people need to go back to school and review basic geology and earth science.Remember the inner core is plastic like,and all mountains & continents are floating on the surface.
@daneo101 REALLY? Professor Ian Plimer? His book "Heaven & Earth" was pitifully SAD piece of work for a "scientist"! There were so many mistakes & obvious deceptive claims in the book many scientist across many fields of study simply laughed at it! Even basics in Geology, his field of study, he got dead wrong! Like his claim that CO2 from Volcanoes was more than all the cars & industry combined when in FACT humans produce 130 times more CO2 than volcanoes!
@daneo101 Continuing...The SAD thing is you & so many others like you who are actively playing the role of USEFUL IDIOT for the fossil fuel industry yet you think you are up to speed on what is going on. You cite Denialist like Plimer then tell others they need to go back to school! LOL! SAD! My suggestion would be pay attention to the CLIMATE SCIENTIST & STOP making yourself look silly by making comments you got from a man who can't even get basic facts within his own field of correct
@daneo101 CONTINUED...Plimer thinks El Niño is caused by earthquakes & volcanoes along the Mid Ocean Ridges! WTF!! LOL! And then to top it off he said this, which is what you cited! LOL! Plimer told Radio Australia that Pacific island nations are seeing changes in relative sea level not because of global warming but quite commonly due to other factors, such as "vibration consolidating the coral island sands", extraction of water, and extraction of sand for road and air strip making.
@zuze269, your header questions are the same - what you're not asking is if it's due to plate tectonics. As the woman in the video says, the island is sinking - that's plate tectonics, not rising oceans. If this were sea level rise, it would be rising at the same level all over.
In the Solomon Islands are the Carteret islands. There, Google Earth shows a Greenpeace marker saying: "the low-lying Carteret Islands are already feeling the effects of sea level rise". It is accompanied by a tear-jerker video about the plight of the population. Greenpeace does not mention that these islands are on the edge of the Ontong Java Plateau, an unstable area of volcanic origin. Why no sea level rises in Tuvalu, while the Carterets are experiencing fast rises.
Most immediately, the effects are shifts in species' geographical range, prompted by shifts in the normal patterns of temperatures and humidity that generally delimit species boundaries. Each 1 °C of temperature change moves ecological zone...
oh yeah hang on first they nearly wipe out american indians now they are destroying people living on islands in the pacific because of thier waste., americans are lovely
@charleydoyle79 You IDIOT. EVERY country is contributing to global warming (if it's true man is speeding this process up). China is the leading polluter. The entire WORLD contributes, not just the US.
@charleydoyle79 Consumerism? LOL! Shut the fuck up you braindead moron. There isn't even any evidence that man is causing global warming. Now you're going to blame CONSUMERISM? Ha ha ha ha ha...
You are an extremely DUMB piece of shit. Just lettin' ya know... :-)
@TheLagunaSunrise Wow... So now you're saying that there is no evidence for global warming. Ahem. Yes as I stated before an odius excuse for a human being indeed.
@charleydoyle79 You fucking stupid shit. I never said global warming isn't happening... I SAID, there's no evidence that MAN is causing it. LEARN to READ.
Funny how you removed your comment. I guess you realised how RETARDED it was. LOL!
@TheLagunaSunrise Charming language.... er yes the United States have I belived lead the world in consumerism for the last 100 years to where it is now, including of course many of the Apple products that although made in China they are in fact designed in the U.S. kindly take your fatuous remakes elsewhere you odious excuse of a human being.
@charleydoyle79 So that explains all those Americaneque videos you follow? As I said I am of pure race unlike you. Go and rot in whatever basement or mobile home it is you dwell in.
@charleydoyle79 You don't even know my background you fucking MORON. You've started babbling on about "pure races". LOL... like that has anything to do with this. You've had to change the subject because you were being made a FOOL out of. Carry on making a complete & utter IDIOT of yourself, you hysterical piece of shit. Ha ha ha ha ha...
@TheLagunaSunrise On a separate note what you write is obilque and of irrelvance in a modern world. being from Europe and of pure race unlike yourself I look forward to America dying in the next few years and thankfully it will be replaced by a pure race like the Chinese..
@TheLagunaSunrise I think you'll find the only person babbling here is you. Pray tell me what background it is you have criminal or insane judging by the videos you like I would deem it to be possibly both. Chemtails, Twin towers of NY, boxing, skateboarding videos. Christ mate I wouldn't want to know what background it is you have as I'm quiet it's purile nonsense. Like I said I'm genetically superior to you as I'm european. Come back when you grow up and get a pair of balls.
@TheLagunaSunrise It's always good to add a personal touch. jesus you got me going for a minute there. Yeah I've managed to get myself banned on boards.ie with all of my email accounts they don't seem to have a sense of humour there, which I think is a little unfair. nice one though haha :D

This is retarded. Is sea level rising there at unbelievable speed while it's measured in millimeters and centimeters elsewhere? Nope--the island is sinking. The Earth has done this sort of thing for eons--are we suppose to guarantee everything stays the same now? Put "Tectonic Setting and Volcanoes of Papua New Guinea" in google. Your first clue is this island barely sticks out of the ocean to begin with, giving you a clue it's on its way out. Unbelievable that CNN is trying to blame man.
Because I'm not afraid to speak the truth? This video says, "While the best scientific minds in the world argue whether sea levels are rising by millimeters of centimeters... [on Carteret islands] the sea has risen at a phenomenal rate. And no one can explain it." The last sentence is untrue--which is why no scientists are consulted in the video. It's a coral atoll--Darwin figured out that the coral builds *because* the islands are sinking. It's nature.
As ice melts it contrascts! So if the Poles melted, the seas would fall. And today the Poles are warming, as teh rest of the world cools. We get more floods, which means more water is benig taken out of the seas as rain!

Some of you are enjoying easy life on a land as big as your ah so that`s why you don`t think before you say something. You believe Scientists who don`t have experience but only comply with all those unnecessary useless theories that was written for things that had only happened once and have been falsely predicted to things that are totally non-sense!!! Fuck scientists and their theories. people! get a life or something!! any comments, suck my dick...
However, just a few kilometers away, on Bougainville, the sea hasn't risen like this. Here they are standing in 3-4 feet of water telling us to believe the ocean has "risen" this far.
People actually believe this. Blame it on media sensationalism.
This is terrible. It's disasterous. Humans should act as responsible citizens of this planet by cutting the Greenhouse gas emissions. Otherwise, we are killing the unheard people. God bless my countrymen and women.
