Today's climate alarmism is the culmination of decades-long eco-anxiety. In 1982, the UN was predicting climate change and other environmental concerns could cause “devastation as complete, as irreversible as any nuclear holocaust” by the year 2000.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/04/22/bidens-climate-alarmism-will-do-harm-good/ …

I’d be slightly alarmed if I lived in the South Pacific and water was lapping at my front door

Perhaps worth knowing — a recent metastudy of "30 Pacific and Indian Ocean atolls including 709 islands, reveals that no atoll lost land area and that 88.6% of islands were either stable or increased in area, while only 11.4% contracted."https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/wcc.557 …

This is because sea level isn't flat all around earth maybe genius...

Yes, actually sea level is rising *much faster* for most of the pacific atolls, which makes the fact that they're growing in land size even more remarkable Here: 2x sea level rise for Tuvalu, Land: *increased* by 2.9% https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-02954-1 …pic.twitter.com/M8v0DZLl9Q

And if sea level increase I find very difficult that land is increasing too.

It could be as you say in some remote areas of the world where coral where abundantly growing but in all the rest of the world we are facing constant DECREASING of landing (see Florida). I live in Venice, we have higher tide every year, at this rate we are done in 40 years

You're probably right about Venice But surprisingly most places around the world are getting *bigger* despite sea level rise, because land is valuable and therefore reclaimed Even Bangladesh has increased its land area 480km2 Globally, 13,500km2 *more*! https://www.nature.com/articles/nclimate3111 …pic.twitter.com/CQzabsOd2T
