If Dubai is making artificial islands because of lack of space why are they making them so expensive when only one person can afford to live on them Instead of making condominiums or multi or multi family facilities
No point in making them at all if they're just going to sink within a few years.
There welth is easy recwared....so thay are spending it on uselees projects
*lack of space for elites*
This should be the least of our concerns when the environment is suffering far greater impacts than Dubai residents.
@@highcotton63664 its all leis... UAE has a lot of empty Space....thay want more beach luxiery front
Who would guessed that an artifical island made of sand would not last long?
Not a stupid person. Ha !
Sand mixed with water.
They obviously haven’t read the bible
@@LadyAuld That occurred to me whilst watching this.
Artificial islands are mostly the most dangerous places on earth at this point
Dutchyyyyy
> "mostly the most..."
Seriously serious?
They will be underwater before long. Just like New York City flooding.
@Wildlife Warrior yes they did
@Wildlife Warrior from the year 1400 we started with all kind of changing water ways , making polders , clearing water away cuz we needed more space , after that we notice we needed Sloots . Cuz the ground was going lower and lower, so we invented small mini channels , to work with the the windmill and we started controlling our water , and playing with that kind of stuff
Dubai is stuck in an internal D*** Measuring Contest “Yo look, I got the tallest tower! Yo look, I got fancy man made islands! Yo Look, I got fancy buildings. Yo look, I’m so much cooler then you guys!” 🙄.
Yep, I don't know what they're trying to prove.
Pure narcissism - too much money fuck the brain up
If you gave me one of these islands to live on I would say no. They dredge up sand but they also destroy coral and other sea life so they’re destroying a lot of natural underwater sea life and I have to ask what does all of that displaced sand and water due to our oceans?
Are you a hippogriff
@@jatOhatiJohari I’m not a big Harry Potter fan but my 28-year-old son is.
As a person living on an island with absolutely no volcanic origin, I wasn't too thrilled with the absolute assurance of volcanic origin.
🤣
Yeah, there are islands made of coral reefs and mangrove and there are islands made of leftovers of the continents (which are made from tectonic activity in general, not just volcanoes).
@@fenrirgg Yeah, my entire country is an archipelago of hundreds of islands and cays made from limestone that has nothing to do with volcanos
Yes there are also sandbars that became islands.
Artificial islands are stupider then I’d like to admit
Nothing about that famous Japanese airport that was sinking faster than they wanted to admit? They had to add steps to stairs and other weird things to compensate
sinking has been slowed down.
This would suck when a tsunami hits
Best narrator ever. If only this guy had been my Physics and Maths teacher at school.
I hope when they made the plans of where to dredge the sand from, they considered whether there were any endangered species in that area. There's a good possibility they did not because, after all, the rich are only interested in making themselves richer.
What ever
Oh no it's far, far worse than that. You'd need to watch the "sand barons" documentary to get the full picture. This stuff is the tip of the iceburg. The west is somewhat ignorant of the environmental disasters our eastern humans have created since getting their hands on western construction technology.
😂😂😂
I bet they did not.
they most certainly did not
The Ile Saint Louis in Paris (next to the Ile de la Cite where the famous Cathedrale Notre Dame sits) was also man-built and the swamps just North of it were dried up by raising the shores to form what is known as the Marais (literally means swamp). This has made Paris more liveable...
The River Seine in Paris is about 80 feet (24 meters) above sea level and more than 270 miles (440 km) inland from the sea. I don't think they ever had or have to worry about the oceans taking over.
I think Kuwait's Sea City is a far better way to create waterfront land. They brought the sea inland and carefully balanced water flow to ensure a healthy ecosystem in the area.
Too bad there are some forces that want the quick and easy results :(
Can you please do a part 4 on gamers who were caught cheating
YES
Greed is the most ugly human trait.
@MokA 💯 100% true
Greed is the reason people choose to be free and have an economy and property rights.
Greed combined with hubris and stupidity. That combination was a significant factor in the sinking of the Titanic, and it will sink most of these poorly planned man made islands, too.
They should have learned from the ancients who slowly built up their islands with stones.
yet greed is what make people evolved a lot faster than other species
@@250914616672152 yes,but do not succumb in too much greed,cause it will devour you whole in an ugly way.
I so enjoy your videos. This is disturbing as man continues to find ever new ways to destroy the planet, and eventually man. I'm not an eco-warrior, but I do what most of us who are conscious of the environment will do and recycle whenever possible. Re-use the forced-upon us plastics as often as possible before they fall apart or break down. I've often felt it is a lost cause when I see the waste and destruction. It's depressing.
Well said, ma'am. ❤️
Humans are cancer of earth, consuming as much as it can giving back nothing back
REDUCE - Reuse, recycle.
They are in that order for a reason. Recycling does nothing, other than stop it from going into a landfill. Most recycling consumes more energy than a brand new product...
Disgusting! Don't ape God.
Wish you touched on the environmental impacts of building these islands
he did towards the end
Loved this episode, keep up the good work.
I dive the artificial reefs in the South East coast US all the time. They use airplanes, buses, geo shaped concrete, old US Navy ships and more. They form incredible reefs teaming with marine life. After going back to some of them every couple of years, it’s amazing how fast they become reefs and Taj Mahal to fish.
That sounds really interesting.
Artificial reefs aren’t the same as what’s being shown. These man-made islands take away the marine territory that animals, corals and everything else needs. Yeah the ocean is big but this kind of reckless capitalism is just harmful all around.
"Taj Mahal to fish"?? Are you cognizant of the purpose of the erection to the Taj Mahal? It's a tomb man. 😄
The Taj Mahal is a tomb actually.
~ APRIL LIPKE
I’m a diver for over 40 years and I live in South Florida, I help out with the testing of the corals and I cannot believe how much of Coral reef is being destroyed by divers/snorkelers, by boats and by pollution in the waters and now I see it happening all over the Bahamas!
I can't begin to describe how much I really enjoyed this video, you're one of the fewest things I find entertaining these days, I genuinely appreciate this channel and the whole team behind it. The narration is always a top notch regardless who's performing thanks to the genius scripts' writers and all the talented voice actors and I bid my utmost respect to each one of them but I've been also wondering about Devin, I really miss him, hopefully we'll be able to hear his voice soon.
Yes, Devin✨ Miss'm
Well said!
God bless God loves you
Licky, licky.
With rising sea levels and the constant threat of stronger and more devastating typhoons/hurricanes/cyclones, mountain villas are actually the best real estate to live in.
keep the good work we really appriciate your videos and facts
I REALLY love your vids! Keep it up!!
The time and effort you put into these is truly inspiring, considering the ocean (hehe) of content-poor garbage on RUclips. Thanks for keeping the quality high, and the research deep. We notice and appreciate it.
For military purposes, China's islands can still be used to store submarines, but what about Dubai's islands?
Tourism. Dubai builds crazy/weird buildings to attract tourists due to its economy being based on tourism.
@@tpk9184 u know those islands were a failure? They didn't yield a bare minimum of tourists to get the money back for the projects. U r telling as if I used to thinks Dubai's islands r used for fishing lol 😑. I knew they were build for tourism, but they have not yielded the amount expected, not even close, and in future their situation will worsen with rising sea levels.
@@frustationoverloaded5976 Don't worry their next fiasco, I mean, project will fix everything. I can't wait for "The Line"!
@@frustationoverloaded5976 and the Burj Kalifa has a literaly SHIT CONVOY to truck all the crap from the tourists and rich residents out from it because it's not connected to the rest of the city's sewer infrastructure
They store millionares
This speaks volumes on mankind.. so sad really, I give us 50-60 years left before our mass extinction if we carry on the way we are
And where will you be by then?🤨
@@AngelVazquez-vs9xp we all going to hell, didn't you know? P.s stop liking your own comments. It's pathetic
Great video! AS always! On a marathon here! LOL Thanks man!
Awesome! Thank you!
I forgot to mention that the Aztecs had their gardens build on water espicially their islands as well
btw there were floating islands!
You know, it actually makes me happy to know that these money/power hungry countries creating havoc on our planet by creating these man made islands are going to literally eat sand in a few years when the ocean takes back its space.
instead of building dubai, they could have made the desert flourish. They could have spent their petrol money to build desalinization stations, create and nurture vegetation that would have finally changed the local climate (trees attract water). They could have used all that wealth and power to create a real sustainable eden, not that babel-like shit of a town, destined to crumble.
there's also the concrete problem. The sky-crappers (yeah, I know, not funny) are so tall you cannot pour regular concrete, it solidifies in the pumping pipes. You have to use a special concrete, more fluid. We don't know how this material is going to age. Regular concrete presents cracks in less than 60 years... this one may be crumbling way faster. Even if the ocean doesn't claim the land back, the buildings will eventually begin to crack and fall. I only wish those rich pricks will be in there when it does. Poetic justice at least.
Environmental determinism will win out in the end.
@@guillaumealbin8477 correct !!
@jelly ... you need to start seeig the full picture
I don't know if this channel knows but San Fransisco has been reclaiming lands for years on it's coast which is also damaging some coastal areas around it.
chinnnnnah!
I love your videos and keep up that awesome work!
250 islands???
I Was going to eat my Ramen Noodles when I saw that I Found 2 Packets of flavoring in my Packaging! I was Shocked to see this and I probably feel lucky when I discovered my discovery.
Facts that shocked the me the most? GREED is really taking over the world.
Palm Jumera Island looks to me more like a Horseshoe Crab.
💯🎯 agree😘👋
We just keep finding ways to make it worse, don’t we? 💔
What's this WE shite?
You forgot to mention the part where some (or all, depends on the beach) of the sand comes from parrot fish poop from eating coral. Enjoy that thought next time you're on the beach😁
I thought the palm jumerah looked more like the underside of a horseshoe crab...
This guy literally is the best at editing
I like this kind of video that focuses on a bit more "sophisticated" topics
We’ve been creating artificial land for at least 2 centuries. The southernmost parts of Manhattan are built on fill as are parts of Tokyo, San Francisco, and other major cities on the waterfront. Early in Chicago’s history, they actually lifted the entire city several feet to relieve issues caused by the swampy areas along the river. The problem with excessively using dredge fill or sediments from the sea is that the material has undergone major erosion which grinds off any rough textures on the surface and earthquakes will cause liquefaction and uncontrollable sediment flows because there is no friction between particles of sediment. Any large developments on artificial land sit on a ticking bomb because they are only as sturdy as their foundations.
Rising sea levels will flood these islands long before any earthquake. Haven't the people who buy these properties heard of global warming?????
Okay artificial islands look pretty good from above but the dangers of living on them regardless of the price of living on them is unquestionable.
And they are very damaging to the sealife
I like how I always learn something new in his videos
Thank you I don't have enough words to say how good this video, ill just cut this short and say THIS.IS.MORE.THEN.AMAZING
Remember kids, If you want a private island of your very own, find a deserted area.
that is scary, they con control 1/3 or the worlds trade and all of that oil
Dubai's world Island was actually supposed to be extended to include the Universe Islands, which would form islands in the shape of Saturn, Andromeda, the Milky way, and a few stars and nebulas. But of course, as BE AMAZED stated in the video, funding was cut and while the world islands might some day be completed, I highly doubt the Universe islands will ever be.
Palm Jumeriah appears to be really solid and if properly maintained, which may include periodic repair work and sand replacement, it should last well into the future. Being on this island many times, I can see that it really is being well taken care of. It’s actually an amazing feat of engineering and I truly hope it lasts centuries but it will require really good care, and they have the resources to provide such cate to this amazing island.
Yeah, Dubai's islands are slowly disappearing. Unless you keep throwing sand on them, they wash away. The ocean is the great leveler.
Even an average bloke like myself knows it's totally stupid to build on sand, even if it's modified. Sand is still sand.
Concrete are made of sand you now
@@TheSumerdhana No! It's made from limestone which gets crushed and mixed together with shale and clay, then gets heated to very high temperatures. Then it gets cooled and mixed with gypsum which turns into a fine power we know as general purpose cement. Adding water to this powder causes a chemical reaction that bonds the powder together. These islands didn't go through this process. They are just made of compact sand and rocks.
the way that dubai plan to make reefs is a legit way and is really effective as coral really likes iron steel etc, its epic
Ah yes Be Amazed- getting on watch lists to provide knowledge
I've always wished that the giant swarm of trash in the middle of the Pacific could be somehow melted into an island, connected to the sea floor by chains of some sort. It could also be moved I guess. Little kid dreams...
Me too but with our current “knowledge” on recycling.. “it’d probably cost too much” :(
Too bad it doesn’t cost too much to do the quick and easy way which destroys ecosystems :((
So dumb🙄
As a Malaysian, I'm thankful for your input on the SCS issues. I heavily criticise the Chinese government for their greed and misconduct.
The palm shaped islands in Dubai are already starting to fall back into the sea, after all the money they wasted and damage to the environment.
Dubai should suck up their losses & turn all the unfinished islands into wildlife refuges.
🌎🌴🍎🍉The world Islands needs to be reverted back to water, or filled in solid...even if the economy booms further, because all they created is a stagnant location for blue-green algae, and whatever metaphorical salt water pond-scum can accumulate/grow in stagnant water!!!...."TALK ABOUT HAVING MORE MONEY THAN SENSE!!".
The first 3 seconds in the video...
I was wondering if the video was about war but
*NOW I'LL BUILD A ISLAND*
Thank you for the *help* 🙃
that wasn't quite the intended takeaway, but enjoy! send me an invite to your island-warming party once it's done
@@BeAmazed OK sure do homie!
It would be a great idea to make the world islands, really nice space to make a nice living space, but I would not pay BILLIONS just to have a small little island in the middle of the ocean.
I love all your videos... watching from Philippines🥰 God bless
Amazing .love Watching this kind of Stuff.👍🇵🇭♥️
We have artificial dolomite beach here in the Philippines built(for mental health)😂
I planned to build an artifical island in the middle of the Atlantic so I can make my top secret Island base.
We already did...
Very informative and entertaining video. Spongebob about to own a multi million villa😂😂😂
I swear one day i will finish watching this documentary, once i can stay awake tiĺl the end. The voiceover is so soothing it always puts me to sleep by the time i reach the part about the islands in the south china sea.
Humans are such a destructive species, we're messing with things we shouldn't be. Another great video from this channel.
On the other side, human beings are the most constructive species.
I recall playing a submarine game based on a Tom Clancy novel on the Spratly Islands "conflict" back when I was in my teens. Today I am about 40 years old and we are still talking about the "tense" situation developing in the Spratly Islands 🤦♂️
Man-made Islands destroy coral reefs as well as redirect natural flowing currents in the ocean it's a horrible practice it should be stopped better yet it should have never begun..
i heard from some people that i know saying that you are bad but they could not be farther away from the truth in fact you are one of the top best youtubers out there coming in with hot facts. i wonder what else is in that huge nogin of yours
Katsuki, what else he has in his head is so Secret that he doesn't know about it.
Unused islands should be made into animal sanctuaries
Really? I think homeless people are more important than some animals. Besides, animals can survive in nature, let them go, and the problem is solved. It may be strange, but I kinda like human beings more than animals.
@@ozymandiasultor9480 that's cool, we will send you all the Homeless people... make sure the Homeless People Habitats have room to roam and wander, a few shrinks, and a soup kitchen...
@@thesacredmom2784 You will send homeless people to whom? Wait, you think I am from there, that I am some Arab, that I live in Dubai? Well, that is a good one... I live in Central Europe... Maybe my pseudonym confused you, Ozymandias, is the second name of Rameses II, and I chose it because there is one cool poem called Ozymandias... I actually don't like at all that city, that state, the Arabian peninsula, or that religion they have.
I was just being sarcastic, because your first reaction was "oh, sent there poor homeless animals"...Sorry, animals are usually homeless, animals do not make homes, people do, but every day I see much more people that like dogs and cats more than human beings... Sorry, my state is a civilized, European state, but we deal with stray dogs and unwanted animals in a fashion that is a little bit different... And we do not accept any of those so-called refugees and immigrants that are coming from that part of the world. We have the right to decide who will we accept.
And you can keep you homeless people, those are your people, you should find a solution for them, they are a priority, not some mutts, for unwanted animals and stray dogs there is cheap and fast solution.
I think the Dubai palm islands look like a horseshoe crab.
Woah, I watched this video changed thumbnail twice now. It's kinda amazing for me
Be amazed
Your amazing!
Dubai is the devils playground!
I alway Learn something new thank u
Wouldn't it be easier to just find tiny islands and add to them?

@§tacy we don't talk about the bot no no no no
Okay what is with china?
In the early 80's, I've worked at a refinery that Singapore built on an artificial island. Wondering what's happening to the now.
Considering the natural way how islands are formed from volcanic reformation, man is capable of refinement structuring. 1:02 The concept itself does not surprise me.
As for the "world islands" I think they should be developed into low income housing or for the homeless population. You stated that even the super rich didn't want to live in the undeveloped islands, so let the poor or homeless live there. It has to be better probably than what they have at the present time. It doesn't have to be trillion dollar homes. Tiny homes (from larger storage buildings or from ship containers) can be gotten and neighborhoods developed quite inexpensively. I know that Dubai is one of the wealthiest places on earth, but where there are filthy rich, there are an almost equal number of indigent people as well. This is MY opinion, and just like butt-holes, everyone has one, right? That is what makes the world go round.
Great opinion.......
The thing is the rich don't think of the less offs......
I swear to the lord above if I ever become rich once I have me and my family handled Im helping as many people as I'm able to.
@@body_inked_up8715 xactly, and I do now help while I still myself am included in that "low income" household.
I'd agree but they are LITERALLY sinking as stated in the video - or rather the ocean is rising and swallowing/taking them back - if you're going to house people and all, doing so in a place GUARANTEED to at some point in the not at all distant future potentially being swallowed by the ocean or taken out by one bad storm is NOT where you should be trying to house someone - we have PLENTY of space vertically if we used it - both above and below ground - PLENTY of people would be happy with what would amount to an inverted skyscraper - living un underground low cost apartment - do you get windows or direct sunlight, no - but your cost of living would be WAY less - or should be - due to not having windows/daylight, but for MILLIONS of homeless around the word a small apartment underground built to stand up to whatever natural disasters might be around and that would have basic heat/air, provide them a safe place to have a bed and running water and such would HAPPILY take any day - granted as a temporary solution - sure, absolutely - all for using that "land" to help house people for free or low rent/rates/income and all, but that is a very limited solution - not to mention, also as mentioned in the video, I think it was the Word Islands are like 2.5 miles from shore - not exactly a ideal or good spot for poor/low-income residents who then are trapped there - unless they've got an employer to boat/chopper them to the mainland or they can work from home - and that assumes they have good reliable internet - I don't see how they make money to afford living there, even if it's super cheap - not to mention, even IF it was free housing for the homeless totally publicly funded by tax dollars and such, how do these people with nothing but their stuff and free apartment/homes/whatever get groceries - ANY use of these islands with people living on them by definition either requires the residents having ways to get to and from the islands (in the case of ones not connected to the mainland - and even if connected that still requires either public transport or being well enough off to have your own vehicle) - not to mention entertainment, etc.
Just seems like there are SOOOOO many FAR better as well as MASSIVELY cheaper/more efficient/better longer-term/futureproofed options than well let's just shove all the poor and homeless where we don't have to see or hear about them cause they've no way off without our help - or that one big storm taking out their power or internet or the one bridge connecting them to the mainland or shutting down their subway or tram or whatever and then it costs thousands to millions to get them off the island or rebuild or whatever. Granted the same could be said for building up or building down, but a LOT of the reasons these islands are being built in the first place could be at least mitigated or slowed down if countries like the US and China and other major world powers would stop burning through billions and billions of barrels of gas a day - instead of real estate, why not focus on green power that will slow and maybe eventually reverse melting ice and rising ocean and killing off of marine life and multiple MASSIVE piles of plastic and garbage spinning around in gyres around the oceans - like we don't need more space or more anything until we can figure out how to freaking handle and power and sustain etc what we currently have now - here and today :P and we are NOWHERE near being able to do that yet we keep wanting more when we already are taking more than we have - for such an "evolved" race we humans seem to be pretty damn stupid - or at least our politicians and the corporations that've bought them who make up and run our laws and governments are at any rate :P
Yeah. But homeless dont have a billion dollars to live on the island. You need to own it to live on it.
even if they did that- i dont see a benefit in living on a sinking piece of sun scorched sand where you have no access to drinking water and have to own a boat to do your grocery shopping. they will end up sinking because of the fragile idea they were built upon.
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

Nice Video! This shows to the world that we can’t Achieve “everything” for humankind.
In my opinion most of your vodeos are platitudes, but this one is really interesting.
As always let's throw away billions and destroy the sea floor so a couple billionaires can do THAT instead of feeding the hungry, saving the rainforest and farmlands
How much damage is done to the reefs when they use them as the base for these "manmade" islands? How much damage is done to the marine life and ecosystem? The oceans are already overfished by commercial fisherman. That's evident in the constant complaining about sharks being closer to shore than they used to be. What did people think would happen when their food source very far out into the ocean was being depleted faster than it can be naturally replaced? I thought coral reefs were protected as marine life in the ocean. Is that only in specific areas? All of the weight piled on top from sand, concrete, etc would be very destructive to coral reefs I would think. There again, what agencies monitor man made islands and the issues they will cause after being built? Greed, greed, greed. It's all but destroyed the Earth. It's disgraceful. The overfishing will continue. When you pump fossil fuel/oil out from underneath the Earth's crust and ocean floor - YOU HAVE TO PUT SOMETHING BACK IN THAT SPACE. Sink holes anyone? In the ocean I can only imagine the adverse effects we'll see. Too much shifting of the tectonic plates possibly causing tidal waves, natutal habitats detroyed possibly causing marine life extinction, increased pollution of the oceans, oil spills, marine life dying as a direct result, etc. As coast lines erode, so does farm ground and people's homes. The weather will change where they're located. Who can actually afford to live on these floating islands? Seriously? California's floating trash dump is no better. It's disgusting and inexcusable. All in the name of greed. Human beings are the worst and the largest parasite on the planet by far. In my not so humble opinion.
~ APRIL LIPKE
They destroyed not only the sealoor and marine life the island were built on but also the seafloor and marine life where they took the sand.
Read the book of Habakkuk for the answer as to why evil is still allowed in the world.👍
interesting video to watch, finally early!
the fact that 2 countries may engage in a war of sand is just the most straight up stupid thing i've ever heard
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.
@@BeAmazed Hello There
This reminds me of a song by Damion Marley: educated fools.
How on earth can educated people make these ridiculous decisions?! Did they think that nature wasn't suffering enough?
Sinking of the islands has nothing to do with the poles melting as nasal as actually retracted their stands on that and has stated the poles have started gaining ice back. The islands aren't sinking the sand is being reclaims to the ocean
hello i was here
i knew about Dubai island creating and the trouble they were having populating said islands, but i did not know china was creating islands , especially so close to Taiwan. that amazes me, thanks for the video, well done
Love your channel, the second I saw you doing the video on this subject, my stomach turned at the thought of what the cost to the environment this kind of lame-brained ‘neverlution’ would really cost the entire planet! What a shame and shameful practice this has been! Oh, yeah, God forbid a Chinese family has more than one child allowed by the government, but let’s decimate the globe in barely a minute by greedily sucking the literal life out of it in a few decades! So, so disgusted! Thank you, I wish more people would pay attention to your videos! Of course, then you would run out of the hilarious behaviors people too often do! This one was way too sad to be really funny. Keep up the great work, you often make my day! ~s~
China has had a 2 child policy starting in 2015 then changed to a 3 child policy for over a year ago. They most likely didn't get rid of it all together because, 1 they can't admit they were wrong (Just look at the zero covid policy.) and, 2 they don't want to give up the control and fire all the people monitoring births and women's periods.

@@susangowen9093 That's the way communism is. It's a system that with a feathers touch becomes evil.
This is a very informative and interesting video. The manmade islands are facsinating but I can't imagine anyone wanting to live on them full time. It shows how many wealthy people live in these countries though. China's desire to be the worlds new superpower is what drove them into bankruptcy and now they can't even afford to keep feeding their vast population of people. Not to mention all the natural disasters that continue to plaque them. It's crazy. These military islands are China's way of getting close enough to other countries they want to conquer in the future so they won't need to go from the mainland which is quite far for them to reach without being detected. Also, while they're tapping into these oil and gas resourses America is moving away from fossel fuels as are other European countries China would need to market to in order to make back the money they are spending on these so called "Economic World Domination" plans.
you've missed a large chunk of the reason .. China needs those resources themselves as they are hopelessly exposed to international intervention to their energy imports. And China is a long way from "bankruptcy" (not to mention they have massive stores of grain etc laid by .. one estimate was one 1/2 yrs worth of food for the entire population.
Dubai should make the islands with themes. Gilligas island, Dr. Morrow,, Lord of the flies, etc.
I imagine they could do something with World Islands... but right now, it's more costly to remove them then it is to develop on them. It's wait-and-see approach... and it would likely be something other than a world shaped landmass. Maybe a giant Emirati Dirham bill?
A good shockwave would turn every sand island into sea floor again. I'm sure someone in the research and development of DARPA has already developed one. If all else fails a nuke should do the trick. Not that I want to see nukes being used ever again.
