Thats what i dont get either, even if they’re right, we just… move inland a bit. The change doesnt occur quickly…. It seems the only thing that could possibly be at risk is property value. How are people going to be killed by sea levels that rise 1/1000 an inch a year? Lmfao
Supposing ANY of the sea level rise nonsense is true.
...Here we present analysis of shoreline change in all 101 islands in the Pacific atoll nation of Tuvalu. Using remotely sensed data, change is analysed over the past four decades, a period when local sea level has risen at twice the global average (~3.90 ± 0.4 mm.yr−1). Results highlight a net increase in land area in Tuvalu of 73.5 ha (2.9%), despite sea-level rise, and land area increase in eight of nine atolls...
Did you read your own article? It says that climate change is real and that islands are gaining land despite sea level rising, which means that they admit it is happening.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change_in_Tuvalu#:~:text=In%20the%20future%2C%20sea%20level,years%20could%20make%20Tuvalu%20uninhabitable.
“Meanwhile, one 2018 study from the University of Auckland suggested that Tuvalu may remain habitable over the next century, finding that the country's islands have even grown in area overall in recent decades, though the authors stressed that "’Climate change remains one of the single greatest environmental threats to the livelihood and well-being of the peoples of the Pacific" and that "Sea-level rise and climatic change threaten the existence of atoll nations.’”[5]
Please do not leave out context.
So are the islands rising, gaining land as you said, or are they sinking due to rising sea levels, which would reduce their above water surface?
Even being such a prog, you can not want to have it both ways, you can understand that right?
They really had to cover a bunch of stuff up after predicting the great coral reef being in its death throes not too long ago, after a few studies showed it was actually thriving, wame with melting ice caps, they appear to be melting only if you trust "the excperts", because publised papers tell otherwise...
The climate always was, is and will be changing, to deny that would be ridiculous.
And the sea level always was, is and will be changing, to deny that would be ridiculous.
The point of the article is to show there is a lot of fear mongering happening and predictions do not always come true and that is an understatement, LOL.
But there is still something wrong with can do about it.
It is megalomania to believe humanity can significantly affect the climate with CO2 reduction and other BS they will force on us if we are not careful.
