‘Landification’ – or ‘land emergence’: Even with sea level rise, around the world coastal land area has increased 13,000 square miles or about size of Belgium!



Kip Hansen: “Land emergence”  — or the gaining of dry land…Compare these two versions:  Google Translate version of the Japanese page with the English version provided by the publisher.

Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.: “If sea level rise is ongoing and inexorable, then all else equal, the areal extent of global land areas should be shrinking, especially in low-lying continental areas and among tropical islands…However, from 1985 to 2015 — a period when global sea levels increased by about 60 millimeters (about 2.4 inches) — the areal extent of global coastal land increased by almost 34,000 square kilometers (about 13k square miles), or about the size of Belgium home to more than 11 million people.”

The literature on landification is in strong consensus that global land areas, even along coasts, are generally increasing in areal extent. For example, Mao et al. 2021 looked at global shorelines and found that instead of retreating on a global scale they are generally expanding:

At almost all latitudes and longitudes landification is winning out over erosion and SLR. Figure 9 from Mao et al. 2021.

New Study: Unprecedented mass gain over the Antarctic ice sheet between 2021 & 2022 – Published in Nov. 2023 – Environmental Research Letters

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/375133640_Unprecedented_mass_gain_over_the_Antarctic_ice_sheet_between_2021_and_2022_caused_by_large_precipitation_anomalies “The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) showed a record-breaking mass gain of 129.7 ± 69.6 Gt/yr between 2021 and 2022. During this period, the mass gain over the East AIS and Antarctic Peninsula was unprecedented within the past two decades, and it outpaced the mass loss in the Amundsen sector of the West AIS from […]

Dems warn of 30-foot sea level rise without action on climate – Resolution argues that climate has disproportionate impact on children, & demands a government-led response

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dems-warn-sea-level-rise-action-climate-recovery-plan By Patrick Hauf | Fox News Dozens of House Democrats put forward legislation last week that claims the sea level will rise as much as 30 feet by the year 2100 if the government does not act to counter climate change. The non-binding resolution from 65 Democrats argues there is a disproportionate impact of climate change […]

Govt Panel: Germany should create ‘climate passport’ for refugees – A ‘climate card’ & a ‘climate work visa’ would offer ‘permanent residency’

  Germany should create ‘climate passport’ for refugees – expert council Clean Energy Wire, 10 May 2023 Germany should introduce a ‘climate passport’ for people displaced by the effects of climate change, an independent government advisory panel has proposed in its annual report. The Expert Council on Integration and Migration (SVR) said that Germany, as a […]

Flashback 2019: Solution to living with global warming! ‘$5.9 million, solar-powered floating home, you won’t mind how high the sea level rises — because you’ll rise right with it’
