‘Scientists & the media published thousands of articles claiming that climate change would destroy small atoll islands due to sea level rise’ – But ‘it was all a big lie’ – Study finds ‘89% of the islands were stable or had increased in size’

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.”
In truth, it’s only “surprising” to readers of New York Times, CNN, and the rest of the mainstream news media because they brainwashed their readers into believing that the islands were disappearing, causing an epidemic of adolescent climate anxiety culminating in the toxic disinformation of @GretaThunberg

The Times writes today that “atoll nations like the Maldives… seemed doomed to vanish… Of late, though, scientists have begun telling a surprising new story.”

Of late? The year 2018 is “of late”? No, it’s not.

There was never evidence that the islands were disappearing; it was only a theory. The scientists simply assumed that sea level rise was the only factor in the size of islands and denied the obvious reality that islands can grow.

They said that climate change was “killing” the Great Barrier Reef.
In truth, there is more coral on the Great Barrier Reef than at any point since they started studying it.

They said climate change was making wildfires more intense.

In truth, better forest management to reduce wood fuel accumulation makes them less intense, even with hotter temperatures, as everyone always knew:
