We need to mobilize Americans, school age to retirement age, to scoop up and send dirt to Kiribati. A cupful of dirt by each of the 330 million Americans can save Kiribati.
As featured by the CBS Morning Show with the Arrogant Bunch (Bilderberg Rose, Nattering O'Donnell, and I'm Awake-Really King), the South Pacific island of Kiribati is in danger of being eradicated by Climate Change. Because the island is only six feet (approx 2 meters for you third worlders) above sea level the crisis is real and immediate.
Although the sea level is rising by only a couple of inches (approx a couple of centimeters for you third worlders) a century per Climate Change studies, the cups of dirt can stave off crisis if action is taken immediately.
Seth Doane, the CBS reporter on the island, has verified that the island borders the ocean and there is a dire need for more dirt. Seth has indicated that light colored play sand type of dirt would be more aesthetically and environmentally pleasing than black dirt containing worms or bugs. Dirt should be FEDEXed to get there as soon as possible.
Please note: Ensure that you have a return address on your FEDEX package of dirt in case a 9 foot Tsunami or 9 foot Pacific storm swell (approx 3 meters for you third worlders) suddenly washes the island away and your dirt cannot be delivered.
the more dirt you put on one island the more water is displaced and you raise the sea level for OTHER ISLANDS , you monster!
Indeed!
Climate change alarmists can rest easy that China has effectively demonstrated the solution needed for seal level rise. All these ‘new’ and expanded islands in the South China Sea can help them rest easy, for all it really takes is some barges full of dirt, rather than a reshuffling of the whole world’s economy.
Let’s make this a Win/Win deal.
Let’s send polar bears to carbohydrate or whatever this island is called.
That’ll fix it.
I cannot imagine having the level of self-discipline that the admiral displayed as he answered that question.
What's the address?
Kiribati, Planet Earth?
I’m not putting a return address on that package! You think I want that jackass Tom Hanks showing up at my door with its moldy remnants?
I’m heading there to corner the market on stilts.
Dirt is a stop-gap solution. What we need is for someone to invent desalination straws. Then, every time someone goes to the beach, they just stick the straw in the ocean and drink to their heart’s content. With millions of beachgoers the world over doing their part, we can lower the ocean levels and save Kiribati!
I’m calling my congressman to ask him to sponsor a bill that provides emergency water wings to that kirby island place.
Is that where kirby vacuum cleaners are made?
Sinking into the ocean is the natural end of coral atolls. As tectonic plates move, each new volcanic island forms, leaving the older, extinct vents to gather coral atolls, and eventually sink under their own weight, as no new land is being formed. The islands of Hawaii are the most recent illustration of this, with the westernmost islands of Wake and Midway wearing away as a new island, Loi’hi, is forming as we speak, underwater off the coast of the Big Island. Eventually, Loi’hi will rise above the surface, as Wake, Midway, and dozens of others sink beneath the waves.
Some of the atolls of the South Pacific are already in their “dotage”.
It’s Science. It’s just the way it is.
Kiribati is on the way out. Sorry.
Kiribati? Isn’t that atoll inhabited by cannibals. IIRC they ate a revolutionary environmentalist. Strapped him to a pole and started eating body parts. Two others escaped as he was screaming.
Oh wait, that was a book. Nevermind.
Who knew that the island of Kiribati was in danger?
Oh I bet that AlGore had something to do with this.
And for the record the Republic of Kiribati is a beautiful island about 1,000 miles south of Hawaii that was a crater that is slowly sinking into the ocean. The sink part has nothing to do with climate change or sea levels rising. It has to do with the fact that the crater is eroding away. You have all seen Fanning Island ( the other name for the Republic of Kiribati) if you watched the opening from Gillian’s Island. And yes I have been there.
I was going to comment that Wake is also in need. Every time there is a big storm, it gets submerged.
Nature can be a cruel mother.
Is it possible to actually mail anything to Wake Island?
https://www.doi.gov/oia/islands/wakeatoll
The atoll’s mailing address is Wake Atoll 96898 or Army Post Office San Francisco, California96501. If one uses the Army Post Office address in sending mail to Wake Atoll, one must not write Wake Atoll anywhere whatsoever on the envelope!
If we could rent a supertanker we could load it up with all the bull sheiss the liberals spew here and ship that to the island. They’d have the biggest, greenest coconut trees in the world for decades to come.
