Special snowflakes melting makes for great blogging, so we have more Rittenhouse hot takes, but “man cannot read blogs about Rittenhouse alone.” And this news is not just huge.
It WILL be summarily ignored by the so-called watchdog, truth-seeking, fact-checkers in the American media.
“Sea Level Alarmism Unravels As Earth’s Coastlines Are Observed Expanding Since 1984”
From 1984 (Hello, Mr. Orwell) to 2019, the earth’s coastlines expanded at a rate of 0.26mm/year.
A 2019 global-scale analysis of 709 islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans revealed 89% were either stable or growing in size, and that no island larger than 10 ha (and only 1.2% of islands larger than 5 ha) had decreased in size since the 1980s (Duvat, 2019).
Likewise, the globe’s beaches been growing by 0.33 m/year since 1984 (Luijendijk et al., 2018).
In a press release for a 2016 paper on coastal land area changes from 1985 to 2015, scientists acknowledged this:
“We expected that the coast would start to retreat due to sea level rise, but the most surprising thing is that the coasts are growing all over the world“ – BBC
“Accretion is the dominant trend…across the world”
Son of a Beach, right?
We’ve reported on some of that in the past, like the swanky, top-dollar travel destination that has been milking climate fear for global handouts over decades. But the island nation has more land mass now than it did in 1943.

And the data supports the scientific fact that none of this is man-made.
According to Mao and colleagues, Australia’s coasts have been growing at a rate of +0.10 m/year. Asia’s coasts have been expanding +0.64 m/year. Europe’s coasts are accreting +0.45 m/year. And the African continent has been observed expanding at a +0.31 m/year clip since 1984.
The only two continents where coasts have not been observed expanding in recent decades are South America, 0.00 m/year, and North America, -0.29 m/year.
The prophecy of melting ice on land or sea would create rising tides across the globe, not just along two continents. Behavior typical of an interglacial, especially in places like North America where verticle land motion or isostatic rebound accounts for the change.
