Contradicting the global warming death cults unsubstantiated claims.
Oh and the coral is alright too
Researchers have discovered that hundreds of islands appear to be growing in the Pacific Ocean, despite the threat (claim) of rising sea levels.
Rising sea levels should tell us islands will shrink, but, that's incorrect
Scientists from the University of Auckland found that some islands have grown as much as 8% in size over the last 70 years. They used satellite images and data gathered on site to discover the changes.
He said coral reef sediment is responsible for the island growth: "Everyone's seen pictures of lush coral reefs, and those corals lay down a skeleton...and that skeleton is able to be broken down by waves and different fish that will chew up the coral and poop out sand - and that's the foundation for forming an island."

It's 2021- Smart money says the island has continued to get larger
Aerial images gathered by satellites since World War Two show how much of the shoreline of one such island, Jeh, has evolved. It shows clearly how the land mass has changed in that time, and where areas that were once reef are now land that you can stand on.
To be standing somewhere that 70 years ago was a reef - and is now an island - is pretty mind-blowing.
The Kids are Alright (so is the coral ) Sometimes we need a song (or at least I do?)
