Word came yesterday of an island in the Bay of Bengal that has quietly slipped beneath rising seas. New Moore Island was a rocky island that was 2 miles long and 1.5 miles wide. This isn't the first island to succumb to rising sea levels, nor will it be the last, especially since we continue to belch greenhouse gas pollution into the atmosphere. Indeed, 10 additional islands in the same area continue to face submersion in the near future. This news isn't a surprise to any reputable scientist who has studied climate change, nor to any activist who has followed the state of the science.
Also unsurprisingly, Sen. James Inhofe's family was not photographed on New Moore Island constructing a building in further efforts to misinform the fringe anti-science crowd. I'm sure the lunatic Senator would cite his favorite conspiracy of global economic domination as the real topic to be discussed. It wasn't his island that disappeared, after all. You'll also note that the disappearing islands don't garner much corporate media attention. Since the stenographers look for controversy, there must be a lack of dimwits who are willing to go record disputing these events.
