The Halifax Daily News catches up with the most recent IPCC climate change fantasy. Brian Flinn reports.
Nova Scotia is in danger of being cut off from the rest of Canada as the Atlantic Ocean rises, according to the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The province's only land link to continental North America is the Isthmus of Chignecto. It's just 24 kilometres wide and mostly covered by low-lying wetlands. It could be at least temporarily inundated.
The IPCC, of course, has an impeccable record of scientific objectivity and credibility.
You can tell that the story is not to be taken seriously by the fact that it’s illustrated with a photo of a roadway damaged last November by the remnants of Hurricane Noel. The problem is that the photo was taken at Queensland Beach—on the Atlantic Coast, the far side of the province from the Isthmus of Chignecto. (See map at right.)
Today’s Halifax Daily News ran another story by the same reporter.
Much of Annapolis Royal would find itself under water if a large tropical storm arrived at the same time as an unusually high tide, according to a study by the Clean Annapolis River Project. The town's hospital would be isolated from much of the town. Its fire station would be stranded on a small island.
Mr Flinn would appear to be the newspaper’s token fear monger global warming alarmist.
h/t: e-mail from the See of Pisiquid, which, if the IPCC's conjecture proves accurate, could become the Sea of Pisiquid.

The photo of the road in front of Queensland Beach has nothing to do with the popular & hysterical theories of Global Warming (AL Gore Version) but everything to do with a “storm serge” that would occur anywhere in the world when a tropical storm/hurricane approaches the coast. Storm Serge Warnings are issued frequently (but not in all coastal areas of e.g. – NS) when strong Nor-Easters target the shores from the Mid-Atlantic & New England states to Newfoundland. Both the Sun, Moon, type of tide (meaning there are times in the year when the tides are higher than normal) plus if the tide itself is high or low in a given area, play a vital part as well. In other words, it takes a combination of factors to cause the road (located maybe 50 metres or so) in front of Queensland Beach to be torn up by the wave action on that specific day Hurricane Noel brushed NS. Global Warming is not one of those reasons!
