A bit of a car crash for Lord Deben this morning, claiming that Bangladesh is sinking beneath the waves and that refugees are already fleeing the delta.
Deniers/dismissers upset. Say no homelessness attributable to climate change. Yet 1000s in Bangladesh forced from homes by rising sea levels.
Unfortunately, his rather better informed followers on Twitter were quick to point out to him that Bangladesh is actually expanding:
New research shows Bangladesh may not be as vulnerable to rising sea levels caused by climate change as previously feared, scientists in Dhaka say.
They say satellite images show the country's landmass is actually growing because of sediment dumped by rivers.
I wonder what other fairy stories the Climate Change Committee tells the government.
