A hypothetical
-
There used to be a TV show here in Oz called Jeffery Robinsons Hypothetical that I really enjoyed. He would get a bunch of people from different walks of life and pose a hypothetical question for discussion. Along the lines of this I have a hypothetical question for you. If an increase in temp (I dont care how its caused, we'll say Stan lit a fart) was to cause Fiji to become submerged how should the international community deal with it? What would happen to the 1000's of homeless and stateless people? What would be the economic impact? How could we prevent this from causing a general destabalisation of the Pacific region? What would happen the companies who depend on trade in this area and the people who rely on these companies for their income?

Who cares?

They're fishbait - who cares?

None. What do you buy from Fiji? Fish?

Since when does Fiji have any impact?

There are other markets and other jobs. Travel a bit...

Never heard of that show, but it sounds interesting. Your question you suggest is hypothetical but in reality, it is happening now insofar that there are islands in the Indian ocean (The Maldives for example) that are used to being flooding from the sea and that the height and severity of these floods are getting worse (rising sea levels due to melting polar icesheets etc). Generally, these islands will not in themselves be missed. Tourists will find some place else to visit. These islands are not big enough to support any kind of industrial process to effect their economy, as such that won't be missed. The peoples living there will need to be evacuated to a place or places of safety but their immediate destination might also be troublesome as there could be some resentment if these evacuees receive some kind of preferential treatment. So there will be political problems, economic problems, and further environmental problems at wherever their destination becomes even if that is temporary.
