OK, so this is fine? (No, I do not believe that)
- skrebbel 3y agoPretty much yes
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoVanuatu might disagree. In Vanuatu, sea level rise is a very real concept with a number of communities already being inundated during high tides (2016) ref: https://www.spatialsource.com.au/sea-level-rise-mapping-reaches-vanuatu/ https://www.spatialsource.com.au/sea-level-rise-mapping-reac...
- skrebbel 3y agoYeah but we went from “oh no we’re all going to die and we have to prepare our kids for that eventuality” to “oh no Vanuatu is sinking” in just a few HN comments. In that light I’d like to underline that in the “this is fine” meme, things are actually on fire. It’s an apt comparison.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y ago> Vanuatu is sinking This implies that Vanuatu's absolute elevation is decreasing. I can find no reference for this. If this decrease is true, please supply your sources.
- skrebbel 3y agoPfff come on, it’s a figure of speech.
- WarOnPrivacy 3y agoUpvoted. You're right. It was clearly written but I misread the tone+content anyway.

- aeonik 3y agoI didn't say that fyi, your statement here does not reflect my feelings. The headline doesn't either, because Earth has been very hot in the past.
