Seven-foot tsunami scare in the Gulf is absurd scaremongering
Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager
The Chicken Little “sky is falling” scaremongering against the oil industry just keeps getting more and more absurd.
Now it’s 7 foot tsunamis every 2 years in the Persian Gulf. Whatever are the oil tankers supposed to do? Everyone better panic, obviously …
=========================
“The world’s major oil tanker expressway in the Persian Gulf could be hammered with 7ft tsunamis as often as every two years, new research warns.
This is likely to be caused by global warming and could cause massive disruption to the global supply of oil, 30 per cent of which passes through the region.
For the past 100 years the Persian Gulf has been free from tsunamis, which made it ideal for the transportation of large oil vessels. However, in March 2017 “totally unexpected” 3ft waves thrashed through the Persian Gulf, killing at least five people in Dayyer in southern Iran and causing widespread damage to the coast. …”
