Despite sea level rise, a 2019 global analysis (Duvat, 2019) found 89% of 709 island coasts have been either stable or growing in size in recent decades. A new Maldives-only study (Duvat, 2020) finds rapid (>3 to >50%) coastal growth in 110 of 186 Maldives islands from 2005 to 2016. Just 5 islands – 2.7% – actually contracted in size during this period.

Sea Level rise doesn't easily swallow up Islands.

...and the reasons don't necessarily have anything to do with the climate...Like standard beach erosion...

The main point of the article was to show how wrong warmost/alarmists are about Maldives islands.

...and everything else...

A few years back, an "investigative reporter" went to the top of a mountain, in Africa, to report no snow on the mountaintop anymore....and it looked like it...

...and then they flew to the top in a helicopter and not only found snow at the top, but all over the OTHER side of the mountain...

President Obama kept his promise to slow the rise of the ocean's waters. That's what enabled him to buy a luxury home water front home. Special climate envoy John Kerry is in the neighborhood as well. Al Gore bought a luxury beachfront home on the opposite coast.

Yes we should cripple our economy to stave off climate disaster and save the luxury homes of Democrat elites.

The investigative reporter found a phenomenon where the snow is melting quicker on the southside of mountains, While the north facing slopes stay packed with snow.

He has determined that this is more "Proof" of man made global warming.

"People in the south are obviously polluting more"

Remember the ship whose passengers were climate scientists heading to Antarctica to study the loss of ice due to climate change, that got stuck in the ice and it took 2 or 3 ice breakers to rescue them? Just another example of so called scientists, abandoning scientific practice to worship at the alter of climate change hysteria.

They should have been left there and told not to worry, the ice is not suppose to be here. Or give them a sextant and an open wood boat to get out on their own like Shackleton did a 100 years ago.
