It should be obvious to anyone with just a smidgen of sense that no island is "4.5m above sea level" over all of its territory. And even an "average" sea level increase of 1.8 mm per year (which would be considerably more rapid these days) amounts to 4.5 cm in a quarter century, not the stated 3 cm. However, it will be far worse than that in the next 25 years because Arctic waters have had an influx of subtropical water carried north by westward branches of the Gulf Stream. The temperature of the water that flows into the Arctic has increased by as much as 3.5 degrees F (2 degrees C) since the 1990s, says Helge Drange, professor of oceanography at Norway's University of Bergen. "This can only be understood as a combined effect of natural variability and manmade warming," he says.

I am thinking it might be quite profitable to be a 'climate refugee'. Especially if you are a person of color.
