H/T to Susan Fraser for this item from the NZ Herald. A nice antidote to the BBC bullshit about the Indonesian islands:

New research has shown the remarkable rebirth of a Pacific atoll devastated by a typhoon over a century ago.
The University of Auckland study, published in the journal Geomorphology, highlights the dynamism of island systems of the Pacific over relatively short periods of time.
Dr Murray Ford and Professor Paul Kench investigated the changes that have taken place in Nadikdik Atoll, in the southern Marshall Islands, since 1905, when large sections of reef islands were overwashed and destroyed following a major typhoon.
Aerial images of the island had shown significant recovery even between the end of World War 2 and 2010.
In the space of just 61 years, one island grew from an embryonic deposit to a full vegetated and stable island, while a number of previously discrete islands had agglomerated and formed a single larger island.
“The storm obviously generated huge amounts of sediment and threw up large amounts of coral on to the islands, which has helped them to re-organise themselves.”
In effect, new islands had been formed on the sites of previous ones.

This is outrageous.
Did anybody consult the UN, or the IPCC as to whether this atoll had permission to negligently grow back. Surely someone should stop this sort of thing. Next you’ll have forests spontaniously growing into areas they’ve been cleared from. Or worse deserts becoming green havens. Outrageous!
Get a grip UN-IPCC, nature’s appears to be on the rampage!
