What claim did Al Gore make about Pacific island nations that was debunked?
Al Gore claimed that citizens of Pacific island nations had to evacuate to New Zealand due to sea level rise and Antarctic sea ice changes. However, Ginger Zee points out there was no documented climate migration supporting this claim. Global sea levels have risen nine inches since the 1800s, but this hasn't led to the mass evacuations Gore described. Zee emphasizes that climate migration is complex with multiple causes, not just the single factor Gore suggested in his statement.
