Global warming has accomplished more for peace in the world than President Obama.

 

Disputed Bay of Bengal island disappears into sea

 

An island that has been at the centre of a dispute between India and Bangladesh for three decades has disappeared beneath rising seas

 

New Moore Island in the Sunderbans has been completely submerged, said Sugata Hazra, a professor of oceanography 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 Mr Hazra

 

Until 2000, the sea levels rose about 0.12 inches a year, but over the last decade they have been rising about 0.2 inches annually, he said.
