Sorry people, but NO, the tiny coral atolls in the Pacific are not being "flooded", they are in fact SINKING, if they in fact were being FLOODED, then WHY are other countries like Australia ETC, being FLOODED? The answer actually is that coral atolls are built from coronous and every time (this is the Ring of Fire) there are tremors / quakes (these happen often) it shakes the foundations of these islands and they shuffle down, hence they are sinking, not being "flooded".
