Yes it does here, because I am trying to show that sea levels may not be rising - these islands were brought forward as proof, and I have shown that A) they are on a very active plate line (multiple plates in fact join in this area) and B) the expert says the sea is not rising and he is being silenced - I actually agree with him, as in the 100 years my mothers family have lived on the coast, the sea hasn't risen an inch.

Granted all the spin on climate change is not helpful, but I for one am ensuring that I live in places that are at least 150m ASL and my ideal retreat would be >800m ASL (where it is a little cooler).
I know that not everyone gets a choice but I see the sea level being an issue over the next 20 years.

I agree. Totally agree with you - above 150 is a nice little comfort / buffer zone.
as for those poor islanders, well, it truely is a heart renching thing to see what ever the cause of their plight is.
