Quake lifts Solomons island out of the sea

The seismic jolt that unleashed the deadly Solomons tsunami this week lifted an entire island metres out of the sea, destroying some of the world's most pristine coral reefs. . . .

. . .Submerged reefs that once attracted scuba divers from around the globe lie exposed and dying after the quake raised the mountainous landmass

Remember how global warming was going to cause the seas to rise and drown the island?

I was just thinking that before I even scrolled down.

I’ve got a good friend in New Zealand who has a vacation cabin in the Solomons. The fishing there is fantastic—he’s always sending me pictures of enormous fish. His place apparently was unharmed by the earthquake. Maybe I should plan to visit before the Solomons turns into a mountain range....

Although I have no doubt Manbearpig is going to find some way to blame global warming on plate tectonics.

I was thinking the same thing.

I’m sure someone is writing an article now how the recent earthquakes have been caused by global w... I mean ‘climate change’ and that everything in the world would go back to perfect if Geroge Bush would make the USA stop using all forms energy.

He said dive sites once ranked among the best in the world were dying because the tremors had upset the fragile natural ecosystem.

"Unstoppable Global Warming" in action....most inconvenient to Algore and his cult of GW theorists.

Mother Nature is evil and must be stopped. :)

Are those squatters on the new water front properties?

Looks to me as if that yellowish coral, the one that most of the people in the photo are standing or sitting upon, has been above water several times before. Look at the three horizontal lines along the bottom, just above the waterline.

Time to pass some legislation banning Seismic jots.

Ahem!!....remember...what goes UP must come DOWN

Time to pass some legislation banning Seismic jolts.

Along with the legislation if we spend a few trillion dollars and stop all ground travel we can end global jolting.

New ones will form, and it will take a while, but this just goes to once again call to task the utter stupidity of people who think us puny pathetic little humans can destroy this planet. Global Warming by human activity is INSANITY! We don’t remotely have the power that the alarmist/liars want to con you into believing.

We are insignificant bugs living atop a system who’s pimples can kill us by the tens of thousands.... WE are not remotely as powerful as some want to believe and we sure as hell are not causing the the destruction of the planet by burning things.

Sorry, hate to burst your warped world view, but we aren’t.

Bush lied the land died.

Bush lied the land dried.

Bush lied the sea dried.

Bush lied the fish cried.

Bush lied the people fried.

Bush lied the whales sighed.

Bush lied the sea turned tide.

Bush lied the world died.

Just trying out new headlines - giving CNN some help.

The horror. THE HORROR!!

We MUST get Algore on this IMMEDIATELY to save the coral with legislation BANNING — with stiff fines and imprisonment — any future oceanic EARTHQUAKES.
