Global warming dispute resolved

A little island in the Bay of Bengal, who for ages cost the matter of a regional challenge between India and Bangladesh, vanished below the waves, say Indian scientists.

The solitary soil southern of the river Hariabhanga was known to Indians as New Moore Island, while the Bangladeshis Talpatti shouted South Island.

Recent satellite images display that the completely island is below water, according to the School of Oceanographic Studies in Calcutta.

Scientists add that other nearby islands could as well melt as the growing sea level.

Swallowed by the sea

The Noticiero correspondent in New Delhi, Mick Me reports that there was never a lasting settlement on the island now defunct, which-even in its heyday, was never more than two meters above sea level.

In the past, even so, the regional dispute led to the dispatch of Indian Naval Forces ships and the temporal deployment of a contingent of Border Protection Forces of that nation.

“What these two countries could not accomplish after years of negotiations has been cleared by global warming,” said Prof Sugata Hazra, School of Oceanographic Studies of Jadavpur University in Calcutta.

Whoever wishes to travel to her now, he said, need to decide what to do in a submarine.

Professor Hazra said that their studies indicate that water levels in this part of the Bay of Bengal have risen much quicker in the last decade than they had in the previous 15 years.

He forecasts that within the next decade other islands in the Sundarbans delta area will continue to New Moore, or Talpatti South, beneath the waves.

“We will increasingly displaced persons in the Sunderbans as more surface is submerged islands,” the scientist.

As Well in Mexico

A similar case happened with an island in the Gulf of Mexico that is described in cartographic written documents of the 16th and 17th centuries.

Red Island is viewed in different maps of the time, though not always in the same place, and in later hundreds there have been several sightings.

The island could change the limits of the regional waters of Mexico in an region rich in oil.

However, never been able to make the exact position of the island, or confirm their existence and, if in fact existed, as was that disappeared.
