From No Trick Zone<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany\u2019s Klimanachrichten here publishes an article titled \u201cThe Disappearing Islands (That Don\u2019t Want to Disappear)<\/em><\/a>\u201d summarizes findings suggesting that the widespread assumption about low-lying islands inevitably sinking due to rising sea levels is too simplistic and detached from reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, the media often tried to scoff at and discredit findings from inconvenient sea level experts, like Axel M\u00f6rner:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Undeniable science: M\u00f6rner et all, 2011<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But today, climate alarmist media are forced to concede things are not as dire as they once believed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

74 of 101 islands are growing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Klimanachrichten<\/em> article<\/a> references a ZDF documentary<\/a> by journalist Johannes Hano, which notes that locals in Tuvalu aren\u2019t fearful of climate change. A 2018 study (Paul Kench, University of Auckland) found that 74 out of 101 of Tuvalu\u2019s islands have remained stable or have actually grown in size, despite an approximate 15 cm rise in sea level over recent decades. This is attributed to coral-derived sediments being washed onto the islands by currents and storms, increasing their area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maldives stable \u2013 even building airports<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Maldives, similar conclusions are drawn. Citing a New York Times<\/em> story from mid-2024<\/a>. Research suggests that, generally, the islands haven\u2019t shrunk but in some cases have grown, even as sea levels have risen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out that the Maldives government is actively expanding airports (e.g., Velana International Airport, Hanimaadhoo International Airport), which suggests doesn\u2019t reflect an expectation of imminent demise. Yet (unsurprisingly) the country continues to demand funding from Western nations, blaming them for their potential \u201cdownfall.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reality shows that the simple equation of \u201crising sea levels = island disappearance\u201d is naive oversimplification. Scientists suggest that some islands will shrink, others will grow, and many will remain stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion: The article challenges the \u201cScience Is Settled\u201d argument, emphasizing that science is a continuously evolving process of correction as the system complexities (long-known by skeptics) become increasingly apparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
