I remember when Calif. was gaining land. Then Raygun said, "Stop filling San Francisco Bay with garbage."

The Earth has gained coastal land equivalent to the size of Jamaica in the past 30 years with man-made construction outpacing erosion caused by rising sea levels, mapping data showed on Thursday [Aug. 25].

Expansion of ports off China, construction of luxury resorts off Dubai or land reclamation in the Netherlands were among causes of coastal expansion, according to a study by Dutch research group Deltares.

“We have a huge engineering power,” he said. Off China, “the coastline all the way from Hong Kong to the Yellow Sea has almost been redesigned.”

A U.N. panel of climate scientists says world sea levels have risen by about 20 cms (8 inches) in the past century, and links it to a warming driven by man-made greenhouse gas emissions that are thawing ice from Greenland to Antarctica.
