Sea level to increase risk of deadly tsunamis - UPI.com
UPI reports: "New research suggests sea level rise caused by manmade global warming
is likely to increase the risk of devastating tsunamis.
Just 12 inches of sea level, scientists at Virginia Tech found, would
put coastal communities in greater danger.
Climate change isn't altering the planet's tectonics, so
tsunami-generating earthquakes aren't likely to become more frequent.
But rising global temperatures are melting Earth's glaciers,
accelerating sea level rise, which amplifies the impact of extreme
flooding events."
Comment: I'm entirely persuaded the sea level rise is consistent with BP and not something to be dismissed by the anti-climate changers.
