"WSJ Magazine, a product of the Wall Street Journal, ... In the article, titled “Bill Gates Has a Master Plan for Battling Climate Change,” WSJ Magazine claims, “Residents of Tuvalu, an island nation in the South Pacific, are jockeying for space as their archipelago is swallowed by rising seas.”
The truth is exactly the opposite.
Tuvalu (is) a nation of coral reefs and small islands in the South Pacific – a poster child for climate change.
Activists claim rising seas are swallowing the nation and its islands.
... In fact, the majority of Tuvalu’s islands are growing in size, not shrinking.
While seas are modestly rising, modestly rising seas bring new sediment and allow for new coral to grow.
The result is net land growth for islands like those in Tuvalu.
For example, a recent peer-reviewed study found eight out of Tuvalu’s nine coral atolls have grown in size during recent decades, and 3/4ths of Tuvalu’s 101 reef islands have similarly grown in size.
... Tuvalu’s population has doubled since 1970.
... just because “everybody knows” or “Al Gore says” that some asserted climate harm is happening, that does not make it so."
