Global warming?

The true story is that the island was a sand/mud bar that was created after a big storm a few decades ago. It was as tall as 2 meters at one point, but has been slowly eroding over time. The water rose a couple centimeters during that period, but it's the erosion, not the rising waters, that wiped this island away. Sand bars move.

What does that tell you about the integrity/honesty of oceanographer Sugata Hazra?
