>> You're gonna help pay for moving these folks to a new location.

It does not cost $320K/person to relocate them to another place "where residents have no running water, hunt bearded seal and walrus and use a bucket in city hall as a toilet"

They will be fine.

A remote Alaskan island - where residents have no running water, hunt bearded seal and walrus and use a bucket in city hall as a toilet - becomes the poster child for global warming as sea levels rise around the town of just 600 people

Any place where you have to shit in a bucket isn't a fit location for a town in the first place. They can go build their igloos and harpoon their whales someplace else.

Though the population has voted to relocate, it is estimated it would cost them $320,000 each

320 grand apiece? LOL! They can build a helluva lot of real toilets for that. And boil their walruses in gold plated cook pots..
