Default OT // this is total bull.... more global warming nonsense....

http://news.independent.co.uk/enviro...cle2099971.ece

"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. "

Are these people on drugs? Sea level is sea level. It can't go up on one side of the world
unless it goes up all over the world. It hasn't gone up one inch where I live. It's the same as
it was way back when. There's even survey benchmarks to prove it. Duh!

Cheers,
Ellen
