Over the last two decades, scientists and the media published thousands of articles claiming that climate change would destroy small atoll islands due to sea level rise.

And the climate change was our fault. “You’re making this island disappear,” claimed @CNN

It was all a big lie. Scientists have known since 2018 that, “Over the past decades, atoll islands exhibited no widespread sign of physical destabilization in the face of sea-level rise.”
And now, six years after scientists published that study, which found that 89% of the islands were stable or had increased in size, the New York Times has finally informed its readers of this “surprising climate find.”
