The headline screamed “Disappearing world: Global warming claims tropical island” informing us that for the first time an inhabited island had been deluged by the ocean, due of course to global warming. The story fails to mention that Lohachare Island disappeared 22 years ago, and that the entire region of The Sundarbans is a river delta. It also fails to mention that the disappearance of the island has been attributed to erosion rather than global warming.
