NEW DELHI – For nearly 30 years, India and Bangladesh have argued over control of a tiny rock island in the Bay of Bengal.
New Moore Island in the Sunderbans has been completely submerged, said oceanographer Sugata Hazra, a professor at Jadavpur University in Calcutta. Its disappearance has been confirmed by satellite imagery and sea patrols, he said.
“What these two countries could not achieve from years of talking, has been resolved by global warming,” said Hazra. (I respectfully disagree.) Here are the details that were ‘creatively’ NOT published by the emotional media, but was published by the smh.com.au
Professor Hazra said sea-level rise, changes in monsoonal rain patterns which altered river flows and land subsidence were all contributing to the inundation of land in the northern Bay of Bengal. How could the media overlook this important detail from Prof. Hazra?
Proof of Global Warming??? Really?? Proof?
If so, why isn’t the Ocean rising at the same rate around the globe? Click the map and take a closer look; you will see this wasn’t an island at all, rather a rock in the mouth of a river delta. Take a closer look at image two. Throughout Earth-history rivers have changed course as sediment build up forced the flow to adjust. That’s not global warming, that’s called gravity. Stick a buoy on it!
Ocean rising or Land sinking? The real question.
Tectonic plates shift all the time. The tsunami and the Chilean earthquake are good examples. We live on a dynamic organic planet. It is not benign; it is always moving. Could it be that the sea level in the Bay of Bengal may not be rising, rather the land may be sinking?
“Question with boldness or risk loosing yourself to the popular thought, which is often flawed by human emotions!”
