The tiny country of Tuvalu is not
cooperating with global warming models. In the early 1990s, scientists
warned that the Pacific coral atoll of nine islands - only 12 feet above
sea level at its highest point - would vanish within decades, swamped by
rising seas. Sea levels were supposedly rising at the rate of 1.5 inches
per year.
However, new measurements show that sea levels have fallen
2.5 inches since that time. Similar sea-level declines have been
recorded in Nauru and the Solomon Islands. (London Telegraph, 6
