In 2004, the BBC warned the Maldives were "soon to be uninhabitable," claiming sea levels were rising 0.9 cm per year and that 80% of the islands could vanish within a century.
More than two decades later though, reality says otherwise.
The Maldives haven't sunk, they've exploded with growth: 12 new airports, expanded international terminals, record tourism of over 2 million visitors a year, and more than 170 resorts, with 7 added in 2024.
Instead of disappearing under the waves, this so-called "paradise in peril" has shown no statistically significant sea level rise since the 1980s, according to satellite data.
Here we have another 'climate catastrophe' headline completely undone by time.
🚨IRELAND ON THE BRINK!
In the last 24 hours, Irish patriots have shut down the nation!
Truck drivers, bus operators and farmers have paralysed cities with massive blockades.
Even as Gardaí threaten 6 months in jail, more patriots flood the streets in defiance.
Ireland is primed for revolution.
Megan Rapinoe says she is “sickened” by the IOC banning men from women’s sports.
The LGBTQI+ footballer said the “horrible” ban “is just bringing down so much hate against such a small percentage of people who are just trying to live their life.”

Megan Rapinoe says the Olympics requiring women’s sports to be played by women is “hateful” and has no basis in science. Sue Bird agrees. Retired women’s athletes supporting their own erasure from sports is wild to see.
Why would the following vote SNP?
Women
Folk who can't get a GP appointment?
People who rely on ferries.
People reliant on the oil and gas sector
Tax payers paying more than England.
People with friends and family in UK
In fact, why would *anyone* vote for the SNP?
CANADA: Muslims were constantly gathering to ‘pray’ in front of churches in Montreal.
Now, the Quebec government has officially banned street prayers, considering them an act of provocation.
Do you agree?
🚨UNBELIEVABLE LBC MOMENT 😡☪️
Caller Brian lays out all the issues with Islam and the atrocities committed in its name.
He mentions terror attacks, failed integration, Jewish ambulances blown up...
Iain Dale’s response?
“You’re intolerant!”
Absolutely insane!
The gentleman says he’s actually very tolerant but we’ve had enough.
When Brian responds that he hasn’t attacked anybody, Iain Dale says “well you have actually”, claiming he’s attacking the people who do these things.
What the actual f*ck!
How is that intolerant? 🤷♂️
Incredible!
She really should not be talking like this. Because you are against illegal immigration u r now Far Right. Nursery Teacher by the sounds of her or him or cat or whatever
Islam is against the moral values of modern civilization.
There are bad Christians and there are bad Muslims.
But when we look at the data, the bad Christian does not live by the dictates of the Lord Jesus,
whereas the bad Muslim in most cases practices orthodox Islam.
🚨 Douglas Murray DESTROYS BBC Newsnight Presenter
Douglas Murray calmly dismantles the BBC on his “less Islam” comment:
Nick Watt: “We should have less Islam in this country. Was that a wise phrase?”
Murray: “Perfectly wise phrase… This country had a wildly stupid and lax immigration policy for decades.”
On the bomber Salman Abedi: “One of the sons they gave this country was Salman Abedi who at 22 killed 22 young girls… one for every year of life this country gave him.”
Then the key logic: “Jihadist extremism, jihadism comes from Islam. Therefore, if it’s 1%, 5%, 15% of people of the Muslim faith who follow that version of it, you’ve got a hell of a problem.
And the more people, this is simple math, the larger the number of people who are followers of a faith that has not solved the extremism problem in its midst… the more extremism you will have.
You don’t get that from the Catholic Church… or the Anglican church.”
Murray closes powerfully: “Nobody else is as incredibly slow in learning as the British media and political class when it comes to this problem.
Why is it the case that Saturday after Saturday we have thousands of people going through major British cities who support the death cults who would murder Jews and the rest of us next?
That’s a question you and Newsnight should answer.”
Countries with less Islam have less Islamic terrorism. Straight talk the BBC clearly struggles with.
