"The NASA Sea Level Change Team, using satellite data and projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), reports that sea levels around Tuvalu are already nearly 6 inches higher than they were 30 years ago."

The sea level rose 6 inches just around this island?

Maybe the island is sinking.

[Does so]

“Maybe the island is sinking”
.
Sinking of Pacific islands is helped by building airport runways on them.

(As the CCP has learned recently, just as the Japanese learned before WWII).

AND Japan’s “Kansai International Airport”, which has another 13 feet yet to sink. (!)
