Paul,

Where do the people of Tuvalu get their water from ? From pumping it out of the ground. What happens next ? The ground subsides. Gosh, who would have thought ?

A GW friend of a friend, living in Busselton WA, complained to him that the sea-level around Perth has risen two inches. "How much has it risen around Busselton ?" "Oh, not at all." Where does Perth get most of its water (or did, before the desal plant) ? Ground-water, pumped up. i.e. Perth has subsided, while the sea-level has remained about the same.

Didn't Charles Darwin remark that coral atolls keep growing to keep pace with the sea-level ? Have there been any sea-level-rise refugees yet from any Pacific islands ? Do you want to claim Tokelau ?

Any other hoaxes up your sleeve ?

Joe

Same thing is happening in Jakarta, Joe. i.e. Pumping ground water, not sea level rise.

Any other hoaxes up your sleeve ?
Loudmouth2,
How dare you tell the indoctrinated something they couldn't possibly comprehend !
Surely you're aware of the fact that they need others to think for them ?
How else do you think they can make it past 18 ?

Fester,
No,no, when you take water out the sea level goes down, or at least that's what a Councillor said when she got wind of the idea that someone wanted to dredge the harbour. And, yes, she's (Aust) University educated !

Inividual,

Are you indirectly suggesting that Pacific atolls counter the removal of ground-water by installing renewable energy systems to pump water out of the lagoons over the reefs, back out to sea, and thereby keep the water levels around the atolls down ?

Jesus, don't let Misopinionated hear about that, he's an environmental scientist, so would get fully on-board:

RENEWABLES NOW FOR PACIFIC ATOLLS ! PUMP THE EXCESS WATER OUT TO SEA, NOW !

Then he'd fall off his village wall.

Joe

Then he'd fall off his village wall.
Loudmouth2,
We can only hope he falls head first & gets some sense knocked into him or her or whatever it is.
