No mention of the fate of Marshall Islanders. There are many in the US concentrated in Hawaii and Arkansas. The US owes them more than being essentially stateless in Arkansas!

I was so distracted by the repeated misnomer of "sinking islands" that I had to listen to this article twice to get the point.

Sunken nations don't have legal status, they are considered gone. If the world leaders have taught me anything in my lifetime, it's that they legitimately do not care about victims or injustice, in the slightest. They have other, selfish priorities that always win out.

A land that is under the sea at high tide is called a tidal flat or intertidal zone. These are coastal areas, such as mudflats or sandflats, that are submerged during high tide and exposed during low tide due to the rise and fall of the sea level caused by tidal movements. It will disappear! 😢😭
