As Sea Levels Rise, So Do Ghost Forests
- aaron695 7y agoChesapeake Bay is sinking due to ground water withdraw https://www.chesapeakebay.net/news/blog/groundwater_withdrawal_causing_land_to_sink_in_lower_chesapeake_region https://www.chesapeakebay.net/news/blog/groundwater_withdraw... Since people only want to posture about global warming, we can just point and say this is what global warming will do in many decades time, panic. A sad society we live in. This is the case around the world, ground water withdraw by humans is sinking Thailand, it sinking islands like Kiribati. It's a shame the Upper-Middle Class Death Cult distracts us from a solution.
- dpflan 7y agoThis clearly reduces the number of plants that can't exist with increases in salinity, but does it increase the amount of plants capable of living with salt(ier)-water? I'm curious how this shift affects the ecosystem ability to process CO2 -- let's say the number of "plants" remains the same, but the type of plants change, and the type of plants with the ability to process CO2 changes.
