'Sinking' Pacific nation is getting bigger: study

  • I found the rising oceans story with regard to this island hard to believe when I read somewhere that a neighboring island’s shores are doing just fine. Rising oceans ought to affect neighbors as well. And further, here we read that the mass is growing. My guess is the island’s foundations are sinking.

    Don’t label me as a climate change denier; I’m too cautious for that. But I am quite suspicious of the narriative as regards this island chain.

    I have a special place in my heart for the island: My first domain was a .tv :-)

  • 'It found factors such as wave patterns and sediment dumped by storms could offset the erosion caused by rising water levels.'
