You mean "will have a problem"

What happened to the Maldives in 2004? That is past, not present, let alone the future. They definitely have an elevation problem, and it is getting worse not better.

The Dutch of course have quite a bit of land with an elevation problem, IIRC, theirs is settling as well. Don't recall off hand if the settling is more or less significant than the sea level rising.

The reason they want Oz is that they want OPM.

You are too conspiratorial. I'd want Australia just because it is a more stable environment (compare to Africa, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia). How much is stability worth?
