All the whack-a-doodles who insist climate change is a hoax can kindly pipe down now.
New Moore Island was a prominent feature some 2 miles long in the Bay of Bengal. India and Bangladesh had long fought over what country the island belonged to.
But climate change seems to have resolved the dispute for the two countries.
Rising sea levels caused by climate change have now permanently submerged New Moore Island underwater. And this isn't even the first disappearance of an island at the hands of climate change. Nearby Lohachara Island was submerged in 1996 - which forced residents to relocate to the mainland. Other islands in the region may disappear as well - displacing more people and ruining their livelihoods.
If predictions hold true, 20,000,000 people in Bangladesh alone will be displaced by the middle of the century.
Are the climate change deniers happy now?

Earth's climate has been changing for billions of years. It's not caused by man. Saying it's caused by man is used to control you, tax you, and drives jobs to other countries.
