New York Times publishes fake story about climate refugees

In its latest foray into yellow journalism, the New York Times,  which is a hard core left wing newspaper, claims that it is rising sea levels that are forcing a group of American Indians to flee their island in the Mississippi delta, Isle de Jean Charles.  The truth is more complicated, but largely it is due mismanagement of the river, not to rising sea levels. I pointed out that there are artificial islands being built all over the world, so apparently some have not gotten the message yet that the sea is rising. 
   The tribe is being resettled by HUD BTW, and ironically they moved to this island a long time ago to avoid being forcibly resettled  by the US government. 
   The New York Times sensationalized the story, claiming that these Indians are the first "climate refugees". Anyone with any common sense knows that humans have always migrated due to climate changes and conditions and always will while there is a human race. 
    In 1898 we went to war because of irresponsible, sensationalized journalism like this. A man named William Randolph Hearst made up      fake story about the battleship Maine being blown up by Spain in Havana harbor. Today it is believed this was an accident. Like the Times, he sold a lot of newspapers with his false story.
