Any chance they could relocate from their one-acre coral reef to the mainland in order to escape those roaring seas?

You win the cigar.

The people of Tuvalu have used up their natural resources and are looking for a rich sugar daddy to rescue them. The farcical rulers of the atoll hit on the idea to complain that global warming is coming to get them via rising seas. Thus, the island has become the cause célèbre for the eco-fascists to “prove” global warming. For about 10 years, the Tuvalus have been begging New Zealand to take them on as wards of the state. They want to be given free homes on the beach, a monthly welfare stipend and all the booze they can drink.
