Islands have been known to sink beneath the waves without sea level rising. Islands can and do naturally sink. Pacific volcanic islands are famous for this (like Hawaii or Fiji) will all eventually sink beneath the waves after the volcanic activity has ceased and the island rock cools becoming more dense. So to state an island is sinking without knowing the context on how the island was created is laughable evidence of global warming. Do you also know that the gravitation pull of the Himalayas near India actually deflect the ocean water up? So sea level is higher there than in the open Indian Ocean. Why this trivia? Himalayas on the whole are still rising very slowly ==> sea level near them is also rising very slowly. "If the Sky is falling, save me a piece for my mineral collection" Gaim
