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?
