Sea level may not have risen at all in California for 30 years, but apparently the evil water is pooling up around the small Pacific Island States.
(Send us money now, you dimwitted and gullible westerners.)
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

The world should really hurry up and do NOTHING about a Nothing problem.
Forgert those old jokes about inbreeding in the hills of Arkansas … looks like it’s a bigger problem on all those tiny ocean atoll islands with their brilliant insights into climate disruption being bandied about between cousins …
They used to throw their own people into volcanoes. Now they have mentally handicapped people from the US and Europe willing to jump in for them.
If I lived on a small, quiet, poor, South Pacific island, I would jump at the chance to take in millions or billions from idiot moneybags who want to feel guilty about something that is effectively a non-issue.
Coral islands easily grow faster than sea level change. In fact, most of them are as I write. Warmer conditions promote calcium carbonate deposition (calcium carbonate is less soluble in warm water than cold) and coral reef cementation. Any acidity from carbonic acid formation via more CO2 cannot have any effect on its own equilibrium, but the added carbonate does push the equilibrium towards more coral reef formation by deposition and the higher CO2 allows the reef biota to also grow (30-50%) faster. The only bad condition would be colder waters which would dissolve exposed reef and slow down biota metabolism.
But, if they want to make me filthy rich on a little island, so be it. Fools!
The NY Times thinks Micronesia is a “tiny island nation”:
The proposal to eliminate HFCs was advanced several years ago by the tiny island nation of Micronesia, one of the places on Earth most vulnerable to sea-level rise and other global warming effects.

Perhaps they could point out to us where this “tiny island nation” is?

I think they mean this:
