I believe the bottom line is “Who gives a rat’s a**???”

The pictures at the site show the Island from a drone. Then a second from the exact same position of the drone with like half the Island now underwater. Pretty dramatic except for one thing.

Unless they have one of those “future cameras” I call BS on this story.

Just like the Maldives — sediment slowly sinking in the water — that is just as rapidly going down.
More global warming horse pucky.

"The NASA Sea Level Change Team, using satellite data and projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), reports that sea levels around Tuvalu are already nearly 6 inches higher than they were 30 years ago."

The sea level rose 6 inches just around this island?

Maybe the island is sinking.

“so garden beds need to be enhanced with mulch and fertiliser to increase”

“Maybe the island is sinking”

Sinking of Pacific islands is helped by building airport runways on them.

(As the CCP has learned recently, just as the Japanese learned before WWII).

AND Japan’s “Kansai International Airport”, which has another 13 feet yet to sink. (!)

These are the Hawaiian islands.

On the right notice the larger islands. On the left the island get progressively smaller. This is because these island are on a geological conveyor belt. Volcanic activity forms the islands on the rights. Over time these islands drift west on the sea floor and wear down and subside.
