Doom: Hawaii Is Sinking 40 Times Faster, And It Is Your Fault

No, really

Seriously, this is not unexpected, because the islands are created by hot spots in the Pacific, so, you get erosion and subsistence as the hot spot moves on for a variety of reasons, including depressing the sea bed. But, you know the climate cult had to jump in. From the article

California isn’t the only coastal oasis that’s at risk of submersion. Scientists have revealed that certain regions on the island of Oahu, Hawaii are sinking into the sea 40 times faster than predicted, which could jeopardize homes and businesses.

Conditions have gotten so dire that low-lying areas in Honolulu, Waikiki and Pearl Harbor could be inundated in the coming decades with infrastructure damage projected to cost billions of dollars.

And cult we go

“In rapidly subsiding areas, sea level rise impacts will be felt much sooner than previously estimated,” said Kyle Murray, a geophysicist at Honolulu’s University Of Hawaii at Manoa who co-authored the apocalyptic study, which was published in Communications Earth & Environment, according to Earth.com.

The team was investigating the effects of sinking land masses amid the surge in rising seas due to climate change, which they felt could combine to cause extreme flooding in Oahu.

“Rising sea levels due to climate change are already increasing coastal flood risks in low-lying neighborhoods around Honolulu, and this new study shows that sinking land could significantly amplify those risks,” Dr. Kristina Dahl, vice president for science at Climate Central, told the DailyMail.com.

To examine this phenomenon, researchers spent nearly twenty years analyzing satellite data from the Hawaiian Islands, “referencing them with Global Navigation Satellite System measurements to calculate subsidence rates,” per the study.

You know, they could have simply gone to the NOAA Tides and Gauges website and view the long term data. For instance, since Honolulu is mentioned, the gauge goes back to 1905, and has the “equivalent to a change of 0.51 feet in 100 years.” That’s 6 inches. I’ve mentioned numerous times that the average for the Holocene, the last 8,000 years since the end of the huge jump post-glacial age, is 6-8 inches per century. A warm period should be much higher, since a cool period will be much lower to possibly negative. That’s how averages work, right? Even the Big Island, with all it’s active volcanoes, only gets 1.03 feet per century

That’s the Royal Hawaiian from the 1930s. The pink building in tweet is the same. Where’s all the sea rise?

    Put a nuke into a volcano. The resulting lava will create more land mass. Problem solved.

    Relax, Teach.

    Mr trump is working has hard as he can to shut down ALL the climate research from universities, organizations and institutes that receive even a scintilla of gov’t funding.

    His top priority was to immediately ban any gov’t efforts on climate.

    Once Mr Trump fixes all the problems, what will MAGAts have to bitch about?

    He will have gotten rid of all the Muslims and Hispanics. He will have rigged all the elections (he just took control of the FEC!!). White christians will be in charge. Abortion will be banned. Universities will only teach and research what Trump approves. The media will all follow Trump’s wishes or be sued for billions. Most of the former gov’t functions will be privatized. Mr Musk says he can cut Social Security outlays nearly in half!! They will have balanced the budget!

      Relax Dowd. Trump is just imitating what the left has done for decades.

      I know it is hard to stomach that the right would resort to leftist shenanigans but oh well.

      What goes around comes around in the world of backstabbing. Right now the left is serving democrats on a platter as they eat their own. In the meantime Trump is just using a Saul Alinsky trick that is so effective it has taken the Right 50 years to figure out how to counter it and use it for themselves.

      Make the left SWAT FLIES…..in other words throw a 1000 things at the left and let them run around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to put out a 1000 fires a day.

      Musk is doing it with DOGE, Meanwhile every head of agencies are all starting brush fires as the left files 1000’s of lawsuits per day and eat each other because the left has too many agenda’s and not enough soldiers to fight on a 1000 fronts.

      • Professor Hale says:

        and not enough soldiers

        …Because we stopped paying them with USAID grants.

      • Elwood P Dowd says:

        D&G is correct! The tRumpists are violating law after law, distracting The People, while the plutocrats loot America.

        What is the MAGAt plan to steal the 2026 elections? The House will be a trumpublicun bloodbath, with impeachment proceedings starting Jan 2027. The Senate is looking shakier every day that tRump and mUsk open their mouths.

        One option that tRump has is to incite and declare a national emergency suspending the elections.

    At the current rate of leftist lunacy, this does not matter one IOTA.

    It will be China’s problem. Not the USA.

    Additionally billions of dollars? If we are still around we can just print it up and fix it using Chinese labor cause the westerners will be too busy chopping each other’s dicks off to give a shit.

    Make up scary shit or no more grants for you!
