Not really. All of the reports on islands and such slipping beneath the water are because the island is unstable and sinks — like sinkholes on dry land.

There are a group of islands off the coast of India, I think Maldives, that are basically silt from rivers. This stuff sinks if you sneeze real hard.

If levels had actually gone up there would be records in that very area — which has been settled for ages. Also, the Obamas would not buy a beachfront palace if there was any chance of flooding anywhere in the world.

The technical term is “thixotropic.”

Take a cup of corn starch and mix with water to a paste, then pick up a ball and squeeze it. It’s solid at first, but the stress causes it to liquify right out of your hand.
