The island of Lohachara, once home to 10,000 people, vanished beneath the waves recently, with only a satellite as witness. Rising seas, erosion, flooding, storms, and subsidence were all involved. Global warming is a likely cause in some or all of these threats to low-lying islands.
I suppose we could deny and debate for a few more years or decades. Or, we could get serious about solutions. Global warming IS an ocean issue.
