The supposed flooding of low lying Pacific islands have been one of the primary emotional stories told by environmentalists, governments and the UN for decades. The poor innocent islanders having their homes destroyed by massive sea level rises created directly by rapacious westerners in their gas guzzling cars.
The falsification of these claims is therefore no mere "factoid" or "little gotcha". It means all the people and institutions who made these claims were wrong and wrong whilst asserting 100% confidence in what they were saying. It is not just a falsification of a scientific hypothesis but the falsification of their self-proclaimed expertise too.
Now think about how many other "gotchas" are lurking out there in the science. Because for sure this isn't the only one.
In reality there is no evidence for "massive disruptions costing trillions of dollars". None. Zero. It's a fiction that's been made up out of whole cloth and now way too many people just can't let it go.
