Low-lying tropical island nations were expected to be early victims of rising seas. But research tells a surprising story: Many islands are stable. Some have even grown.
I fondly remember the days when rising sea levels, “sometime in 2100 or whenever” was the main climate-related thing. That was nice. Back then, the idea of tipping points was the realm of wild-eyed doomers that no one took seriously. Heat domes? Wildfires? Ocean death? Mass migration? Just science fiction.

Ahh, good times.

Very interesting article. I am very curious about the project they mentioned in Niger, if anyone has more information.
