No one denies it. Funny how morons always want to kick open doors.
It doesn't matter how and whether it is partly natural or man-made.
The reality is that the area of atolls is increasing as we were predicted that the islands would be submerged, and that the point of no return had been reached..
We see that this is not the case, that climastrologists still screwed up, that men did not wait for them to manage their coasts and that in this case they did so for reasons other than the warming, and easily. No anti-CO2 measure would have had this effectiveness.
The article gives details: although land reclamation is the main cause of the increase in area, it does not represent more than 100% (which should have been the case if the natural tendency was to decrease. ), but less than 100%: which means that the natural contribution is ALSO positive.
Between the oldest (1999–2001 or 1999–2002) and most recent (2017) composite images, the land area on the 221 atolls examined increased by 61.74 km2 from 1007.60 km2 to 1069.35 km2, a 6.1% increase. Most of this increase, 38.89 km2, occurred between 2013 and 2017 (Fig. 3). The global-scale change in atoll island landmass was largely a product of an increase of island area in the Maldives and South China Sea (SCS), which account for 54.05 km2 (87.56%) of the global increase in land area. Between 1999–2001 and 2017, the Maldives added 37.50 km2 of land area, representing 60.74% of the net global increase in atoll land area (Fig. 3). Tokelau and Tuvalu, both small landmasses (9.65 km2 and 25.14 km2 respectively), both increased by ∼7%, while the Marshalls, French Polynesia, Kiribati, Palau, Chagos and the Federated States of Micronesia all changed by less than 3%. At the national-scale French Polynesia and Palau were the only countries for which a net decrease in land area was observed (-1.46 km2 or -0.48% and -0.16 km2 or -2.71% respectively). All these changes are <8% and therefore are potentially within the uncertainty of measurement. We could find no evidence of widespread, chronic erosion of atoll islands over our study period. These observations are consistent with previous studies that have largely found that atoll islands have had stable or increasing land areas over the second half of the 20th century and early 21 st century (McLean and Kench, 2015; Duvat, 2019) (Fig. 4) .
No wonder, since the atolls have risen with the sea level by accretion of coral debris, a phenomenon that has no reason to stop. The only territories which decreased did so very slightly (- 2% maximum in almost 20 years), which is below the error bars. There is no risk that these islands will disappear and that the populations will be forced to flee, on the contrary, contrary to the fantasies repeated in all the newspapers!
moreover, the population of the Maldives has continued to increase; and faster and faster. Obviously an important resource is tourism, and they have absolutely no interest in people stopping air travel, quite the contrary - it would completely drain their economy, unlike the rising waters.
Moreover, they are not asking that we stop plane travel, just that we reimburse them for the damage - imaginary - that the RC would have caused them. That way they win on both counts. Smart people, I tell you ...
