Looks like the Pacific Islanders are not in danger of extinction after all. According to a study reported in NewScientist ( http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20627633.700-shapeshifting-islands-defy-sealevel-rise.html ) most islands have either remained stable during the past 60 year and some have even grown. The study found that only 4 islands had diminished in size during the past half century.
It is just one more nail in the coffin of the myth that is Man Made Global Warming.
