And I say that in no way lighthearted as I consider the plight of (but one example) the people of Bangladesh, and that there are entire cultures fracturing and being spread far and wide as islands sink below water / the salt comes up and kills all their growing foods ... and the people flee to the neighboring islands which are set just a bit higher & all involved seem to be working toward an integration of those who have just lost the land of their families, so many generations - and where they can go to on these neighboring islands is a difficult struggle indeed.
