Houses, roads and graveyards have been flooded, and the locals believe they know the reason: climate change.

A bunch of crap. I live in a very low lying area on the Texas coast. Many areas less than 2 feet above sea level. Have not noticed anything out of the ordinary as far tide levels.
Imagine what these islanders can get if they can convince the world they are loosing their home to “man made” global warming. I’m sure they have a few dollar signs in their eyes.
