Reality Check: Maldives Have Actually Grown In Size Or Remained Stable Over Recent Decades

An article in the German TKP science site titled “Die Malediven sinken nicht” (The Maldives are not sinking) challenges the common mythical narrative that the Maldives are destined to disappear due to rising sea levels caused by climate change.

But as we have often reported here at NoTricksZone, most islands have in fact grown in size over the recent decades.
Contrary to the “sinking” narrative, the TKP article cites scientific observations (including satellite data) showing that many islands in the Maldives have actually grown in size or remained stable over recent decades rather than disappearing, This contradicts everything we’ve been told by the climate alarmists.
