New Study Finds 12 Of 15 Islands In Florida Bay Have GROWN In Size Since 1953, Continuing A Global Trend
By Kenneth Richard on 3. June 2019
Instead of inundation from sea level rise, 80% of assessed Florida Bay (USA) islands grew in area during 1953-2014, prototyping a global-scale trend in island resistance to rising seas.
Back in 1989, the United Nations issued a dire warning: either reverse the ongoing global warming by the year 2000, or “entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels†and “coastal regions will be inundated“.
