According to a peer reviewed publication, Scientific American, islands are beginning to sink beneath the oceans, and the direct cause is global warming.
Scientific American podcast is here, and there is an excellent article on the rise of the oceans on the coast of India, which is now placing millions of people at risk.
So what else is there in Scientific American this month?
Scientists have quantified the danger to public health caused by climate change.
Scientists are looking at the record amount of catastrophes around the world during the last few years, especially the flood events, and although they don't yet want to link specific events such as Hurricane Katrina to global warming, they say that the growing body of evidence for floods, hurricanes, downpours, and other events throughout the world shows that global warming is driving it.
Scientific American discusses the new report by NOAA (you know, yet another group of scientists) that carbon dioxide produced this century could drive global warming and climate change for thousands of years to come.
So who runs Scientific American? No, it isn't George Soros or Al Gore. Neither is it discredited Australian TV weather forecasters, nor oil company shills, nor political hacks, looking to create scandals that never existed about emails. There is a difference between a peer reviewed magazine, and the National Enquirer or the Daily Mail, Britian's equivalent to the Enquirer. The articles in Scientific American, for the most part, are written by real scientists, who have not been bought and paid for by Democrats, Republicans, or other political interest groups. 'Nuff said.
