One researcher noted that the "loss of land is unlikely to be a factor in forcing depopulation of Tuvalu."

...which reminds me that I heard an air-head on NPR yesterday saying that the reason we have so many people trying to cross our borders is that global warming has rendered their homes uninhabitable.

* TIME magazine's cover shows U.N. chief Antonio Guterres standing in waters off a Pacific island nation that's allegedly "sinking" into the sea - except scientific studies indicate it's not.

* Studies have found most low-lying Pacific islands either remained stable or increased in size over the decades, including Tuvalu.

* One researcher noted that the "loss of land is unlikely to be a factor in forcing depopulation of Tuvalu."

The newest TIME magazine cover features United Nations chief Antonio Guterres standing in water off the island nation of Tuvalu, which the outlet called "one of the world's most vulnerable countries" to global warming.

The photo, taken during Guterres' four-country tour of Pacific nations in May, is meant to illustrate one point - that island nations are sinking in the face of global warming-induced sea-level rise.

TIME titled it's Thursday cover story, "Our Sinking Planet." There's just one problem: Scientific studies show Tavalu's islands, indeed most Pacific islands, have actually grown in the face of sea level rise. ...

Hmmm ... Tavalu must have acted on my earlier suggestion to place more flotation devices around their island's perimeter ...
