I'll bet that room full of global alarmists choked on their caviar.

I suppose you could take a Supply and Demand view here. As the land area shrinks (Supply) and the Demand remains constant (number of inhabitants) that prices will rapidly increase. In fact, as Supply shrinks to an infinitesimal amount, Price should soar infinitely high! Presuming, of course, that the inhabitants don’t get while the getting is good. But I predict that they will stick around as long as possible — why leave and abandon all hope of “Sticking it to the West” and collecting your massive Western-Guilt Global Warming Scam windfall?

Gee better ask Al Gore why he recently paid $9 million for a seaside mansion in California when according to his BS it will soon be under water.

The entire government of Tuvalu exists as an extortion racket of larger countries. That’s it.

Land prices remain high, because...carpe diem. It’s the last days of Pompeii. Yeah. That’s the ticket. Nobody will ever be able to enjoy a vacation in Tuvalu after it sinks into the ocean, so it’s supply and demand. And on that basis, banks will give you a 30-year mortgage at the appraised carpe diem value, and you’ll supply 10% of the money plus closing costs.

So it’s a “shrinking asset” that isn’t really shrinking...

As I understand it, land prices are falling in Arizona and Nevada. Both states have large deserts. Is it possible that the sand is rising faster than the water?

It's a perfect storm of a combination of do-goodism, stupidity, and ignorance.
Ever wonder why his high school and college grades have never been revealed?

If... Then...
If the first premise is false, then... the second statement can be true.
