Approximately 13,000 islands around the world have increased land mass over two decades, disproving claims of climate alarmists about rising sea levels

A Chinese study has revealed that approximately 13,000 islands worldwide have increased their land mass over the past two decades by 369.67 square kilometers (142.73 square miles), debunking claims that so-called climate change would make sea levels rise and wipe out islands.

In the past few years, climate alarmists have insinuated that manmade climate change would swiftly drive shoreline erosion and island disappearance due to rising sea levels. But this Chinese study, published in the Journal of Coastal Research, has debunked these claims.mate change and human activities, examines surface and satellite records of existing studies to analyze shoreline changes in the 13,000 islands of Southeast Asian archipelagos, the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean.

Based on the findings, an area equivalent to the size of the Isle of Wight has been added to these islands, totaling a remarkable 369.67 square kilometers. The researchers witnessed a net increase of 157.21 square kilometers (60.7 square miles) of land from when it was lost in the 1990s until 2020.

Another study on the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu supported these claims. The Tuvalu study claims that 101 out of the 709 coastlines had increased their land mass by 2.9 percent while the rest had not experienced any loss of land. Additionally, the study found that 47 reef islands either expanded in size or maintained their stability over the past five decades. All this, despite facing sea-level rise rates surpassing the global average...<<<Read More>>>...
