By Binoy Kampmark, published 2/12/2022

In the case of the Pacific Island state of Tuvalu, the response is seemingly digital or, as its officials prefer to call it, creating the Digital Nation.

Emotive rubbish and I was wrong. I don't think so. And I don't resile from any of my remarks.

Ignorant and abusive attacks without merit.

Perhaps one of you two geniuses will explain where the melt water from glaciers and land-based ice on Iceland and Antartica goes.

Perhaps you believe it runs over the edge of a flat world.

Apart from that, I get you don't give a rats for the folk of Tuvalu and elsewhere as their homes sinks below the waves, even if the coral surrounding it grows in circumference.

How exactly do you believe that phenomena makes one iota of difference for folk whose homes are slowly being inundated by rising oceans. Or that I didn't raise in my original comment. Being I considered it a non-issue without relevance.

Coral doesn't grow above the waterline, geniuses. And it would need to, to save Tuvalu and other islands slowly sinking beneath the waves.

But hey you don't want to be forced to examine irrefutable evidence of manmade climate change, do you? And the role of your beloved fossil fuels in that context!

So Alan B, I gather you reject the science in the data I originally showed you on the basis that you'd prefer it wasn't true? That sounds about right.

Alan stop being silly.
Go to the Auckland University, Coastal Institute, and they produced a
paper on the islands which I believe is still considered the last word.
