Poverty — not America — is the cause of the ABC

I would add that the poverty is generally caused by brutal dictatorships -- Zimbabwe is just the most recent disaster among hundreds of examples.

I'm not a science guy, so could someone please 'splain to me this statement ?

The U.N.'s most recent world environment confab occurred last fall in Marrakech. Days before that one, we learned that the poor islanders of Tuvalu were being drowned by sea-level rises caused by global warming. Within days, an article appeared in Science magazine showing that sea level around Tuvalu has been falling, not rising, for most of the last 50 years.

Wouldn't a global warming (no, I don't believe global warming junk science) cause sea levels to fall, not rise?
