Global Warming? Land is Growing – There Was Still 657 Islands
by Satellite mapping systems have identified 657 new islands on the world map, especially sandy formations, which change shape and move according to currents near the coast.
The discovery, made ​​by an American team of researchers in the field, is a possible natural solution to coastal erosion.
According to the source, scientists at Duke University and Meredith College said that “coastal islands” have a total length of 20,783 km, ie about 5000 km in addition to the total land on the previous map, which dates from 2001.
Given that global warming is now a topic on which more and more researchers focus their attention, the chain of coastal islands could provide a natural shield against the true ascension sea level and its disastrous effects.
This type of islands might acquire a fundamental role in the process of creating a safe habitat for wild fauna and flora of these regions.
