Disputed isle in Bay of Bengal disappears into sea
By NIRMALA GEORGE

NEW DELHI -For nearly 30 years, India and Bangladesh have argued over control of a tiny rock island in the Bay of Bengal. Now rising sea levels have resolved the dispute for them: the island's gone.

New Moore Island in the Sunderbans has been completely submerged, said oceanographer Sugata Hazra, a professor at Jadavpur University in Calcutta. Its disappearance has been confirmed by satellite imagery and sea patrols, he said.

"What these two countries could not achieve from years of talking, has been resolved by global warming," said Hazra.

Scientists at the School of Oceanographic Studies at the university have noted an alarming increase in the rate at which sea levels have risen over the past decade in the Bay of Bengal.

3. Maybe the island is sinking. Ever think of that? Maybe the Mole People are

dragging it into their subterranean lair. Ever think of that? Free your mind of global warming propaganda. You have nothing to lose but your puppet strings.

6. I never considered the Mole People.

Thank you for calling that to our attention.

7. That's just how the Mole People want it. "Don't consider us. Forget all about us. We'll just keep

taking all your islands until it's too late! Global warming suckers!"

5. Won't be long until Manhattan and wall street are next.

Global warming has definite benefits.

10. Ooo, I live in Manhattan. But it's way up at the high rocky end.

8. India to Bangladesh....

"Look what happened to your island!"

12. Now that it's a dangerous shoal, they'll probably argue over who

is responsible for maintaining the navigation markers: "It's your underwater rock!" "No, it's your rock!"...

11. Now the Island belongs to Atlantis.

Thanks for the thread, kpete.
