Climate change is not drowning atoll nations such as the Maldives, the Marshall Islands, and Tuvalu, research has revealed. Historically claimed to be vulnerable to sea level rises driven by global warming, recent findings show these low-lying island nations are almost all still the same size or growing.
Comparing mid-20th-century aerial photographs with contemporary satellite images reveals that, of 709 islands across the Pacific and Indian Oceans, nearly 89 percent have either expanded or remained stable in recent decades. Only 11 percent display signs of contraction.
For example, the island of Kandahalagalaa shows notable changes from 2005 to 2023. While the eastern portion experienced some erosion, the western side has expanded, maintaining overall stability.
These findings challenge the establishment narrative that climate change is an existential threat to atolls, dooming nations such as Vanuatu to the same fate as Atlantis and creating a generation of “climate refugees.”
They are also good news for climate alarmist politicians, including Al Gore and Barack Obama, who have spent millions on ocean-view properties that dramatic sea level rises would endanger.
Leading climate scientist Professor Bill McGuire, previously a member of the British government body that advised politicians on the Covid pandemic response, has gone so far as to say the “culling of the human population by a pandemic with a very high fatality rate” is the only way to stop “climate breakdown.”
