The United States has gotten just a little bit larger. Cape Hatteras, N.C., has a new addition to the landscape. Shelly Island is the unofficial name of a mile-long sandbank that has appeared just off the coast. And here to speak with us about it is Dave Hallac, who is superintendent of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Thanks for joining us today.

Sea is rising. Glaciers are melting. New islands are forming. Developers salivate.

Someday the OBX are going to be inundated as the result a strong hurricane, but until then it’s a beautiful place to visit.

But wait, I thought the oceans were rising and Florida was about to get flooded out because of global warming?
And now you say NEW islands are rising up?

Global Warming. This will be proof.
Had an existing one sunk, Global Warming.
No matter what happens, it is Global Warming.

I’m sure it will. It doesn’t take much for a hurricane to do a tremendous amount of damage.

Oh no in 50 years New York City will be 1,000 feet above sea level. And it’s all because of global warming. We’re all going to die.

No worries! Global warming will soon make the oceans rise,
and the island will be history. Al Gore said so. /S

"Shelly Island." That's pathetic.
This happened on Trump's watch. I vote for Covfefe Island.

I love the outer banks. Lots of beaches where you can be by yourself. If only land were cheaper...

Good grief. The OBX are constantly being rearranged by mother nature and suddenly it’s news?

I will gladly trade a new island in NC for San Fransisco dropping below sea level.
