Thanks to all that clarified the issue! I first read it in Portuguese, and after in some other sources in English, none of them indicated that the thing was not true! sorry for stirring this, but when I first saw it it looked very strange!

A satirical blog post by an anti-AGW commentator, always the most reliable source of information, said some satirical things, and other media ran with it as fact. (There was apparently a misstatement about the Greenland ice by Atlas staff, since corrected.) The original blog post: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100105854/times-atlas-to-print-new-world-map-without-tuvalu-maldives-manhattan-etc/ (which is pretty obvious satire if you actually think about what he's saying) and some commentary: http://underthebanyan.wordpress.com/2011/09/23/mapping-the-moral-high-ground-climate-change/ Sarah On 10/17/2011 03:36 PM, Matheus Carvalho wrote: > What is going on?
