Ah, well that could be the answer. So it's the media's fault for not reporting global warming properly.

Bangledesh has already lost ~6% of its costal areas, and threatens the homes and livelyhoods of tens of millions of people. I cannot believe that you would call that "trivial".

Sure, relative to half the world starving, it's trivial. But this demonstrates the undue importance people put on rising sea levels. Losing property isn't that bad, it's only money and things. Moving away from your hometown forever isn't that bad either. Nearly all of us do it.

But if these things are fairly sure to happen, we'd better prepare for them, so had the Bangladeshis. Not spend all our effort in vain making token gestures to look like we're preventing them.
