Sky News host Chris Kenny says “most” media has been “happy to oblige” the impression created by Pacific politicians that their islands are “in mortal peril” from climate change.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison face pressure last week after he attended the Pacific Islands Forum in Tuvalu and refused to meet demands of Pacific Islands leaders who called for a ban on coal-fired power stations. Mr Kenny said many journalists and politicians are “keen to talk up the crisis despite the evidence” that according to a University of Auckland study Tuvalu’s total land area grew by 2.9 per cent in the four decades to 2014.
That study also says: 'Climate change remains one of the single greatest environmental threats to the livelihood and well-being of the peoples of the Pacific'

The big money 💰 being earned today! Is by the climate change alarmists! And joe Public are eating it up!
Viola1500 When does work start on building the sea walls around these islands
No shit
It true in the bible about how land size increases as population increases, that's why global depop, abortion, SSM etc are abominations. How much land haven't they told us about after all the never wanted another country going independent ever again like USA.
An increased land area does not mean that the danger of inundation as sea levels rise is reduced, as it is likely to be only millimetres above the existing sea level. This misreading of statistics by 'journalists' such as Kenny merely highlights their ignorance.
Oh dear. How's his dog these days?
Chris you dishonest little grub. Auspol
This is evidence of the islands area increasing but not its elevation, so its useless as a measure of wether the sea level is changing. You need satelight altimeters that cover huge areas so your not misled by regional variations.
SCH451 These islanders want money. Yep, that’s it. The End.
Dont doubt ur story but....where's the study?
Here’s a link to the study. A “net increase in sediment” is promoted as the key reason for the observed expansion. And that’s fine, sedimentation has made some islands wider, BUT NOT HIGHER. Sea level is rising, at 3.2mm/yr.
Had this issue been in the 80's.....response from Bob hawke.. .. 'Your a BUM'...
You lost me at Chris Kenny 🤮
The left are there to serve nothing more than their own narrative. It’s lies, it’s ideology and it’s rubbish..

Renewable sector facing a ‘crisis’ | Sky News AustraliaCountries pioneering renewable energy are facing a ‘crisis in energy production’, according to environmentalist Michael Shellenberger.\n\nMr Shellenberger said the most overt example is Germany, where despite renewable energy providing more electricity than coal or nuclear in the European nation, the sector is rapidly losing jobs and facing local opposition.\n\nThe pro-nuclear author said countries with a high concentration of renewables, like Germany, are struggling with the cost of energy because wind turbines and solar panels are not able to power modern economies.\n\nMr Shellenberger told Sky News “if you want environmental quality, you need an efficient grid,” which is something renewables cannot provide. Talk about stating the bleeding obvious. I thought that was when the sun went down on a still night!! FIXED IT! 'according to NUCLEAR INDUSTRY LOBBYIST Michael Shellenberger'
