Can't sinking island countries like the Maldives, Kiribati or Tuvalu just transform their islands into a bunch of platforms whose bases that sit at the bottom of the sea or float on the surface but are anchored???

Okay but you can't survive on fish alone, what would they drink

suprisingly, only a handful of countries are at risk of *entirely* disappearing due to sea level rise in the near future. Most places have some few-story-tall hills sticking out of the warer

fish, and import the rest, same as now. their land is useless for farming
>what would they drink
rainwater, same as now.
also water from desalination plants

They farm small things just fine, they also raise chickens

>also water from desalination plants
They tap wells into the atolls, relying on rainwater alone is dangerous and desalination of any kind if impossible, these people live in the stone age

anyway if all the people live in artificial platforms, that leaves more room for farmland

why do you want to make those people live on platforms so hard
>>
>>219660843
what do you want them to do, move to Australia and give up the seat in the UN?

They're fine as of now, anyways Tonga and other polynesian nations have a bunch of uninhabited islands, so they can be resettled if anything
>>
>>219660907
Why offer these people as a sacrifical goat instead of telling the heavy polluting companies pushing the point of no return ever so closer?

It would heavily hurt those ecosystems and not every island is ideal for habitation since they'd have to restart infrastructure from zero and possibly be further from the mainland and the other nearby islands.

Well your solution is to move them to the platforms? I agree both are shitty solutions but moving them to scattered islands is better than making them live on platform

Can yuropoors not?
