Tuvalu Growing Like the Warmists Noses

From the article:
The Pacific nation of Tuvalu long seen as a prime candidate to disappear as climate change forces up sea levels is actually growing in size. A University of Auckland study examined changes in the geography of Tuvalu's nine atolls and 101 reef islands between 1971 and 2014, using aerial photographs and satellite imagery. It found eight of the atolls and almost three-quarters of the islands grew during the study period, lifting Tuvalu's total land area by 2.9 percent.

This growth is because of the climate change due to billions of tons of soil that was blown into Tuvalus from deforestation and if you believe that I may have a bridge to sell you cheap!

No deal Mike. I don't believe it for a second.
Actually, research shows that islands grow, at least in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. And that because they catch what gets churned up on the mainland, all the silt and whatnot.
Tuvalu is growing no doubt because they are employing better agricultural practices that is ending erosion. In the past such places used slash and burn, which was guaranteed to lead to erosion.
I gorw weary arguing against this utter stupidity.
