Sinking islands: Why it happens
Alfredo P Hernandez, 10/6/08
The intensifying war between the advocates of global warming and those who dismiss it as a hoax is just making the people of small Pacific island-nations obvious pawns being manipulated by one side to further its agenda. The agenda: Convince all nations – both industrialised and developing – to join the club now notoriously known as Kyoto Protocol and work together to reduce gas and carbon dioxide emissions resulting from their economic activities. And the manipulation: To scare off inhabitants of low-lying island-nations in the Pacific that global warming is real and that it is now causing sea levels to rise and sinking their homelands. The strategy: To tell the whole world that the small Pacific island-nations are sinking caused by rising sea level and that it is triggered by global warming, and to bring to the attention of developing and industrialised countries that they are.
