Paul1405,
re your claims of sea level rise earlier in this thread; A new first-of-its-kind study by Dutch researchers finds no evidence of a global acceleration in sea level rise because of climate change.
The peer-reviewed paper, “A Global Perspective on Local Sea Level Changes,” published in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering last month is the first study to be based on local data taken from coastal sites around the world, rather than on models based on extrapolations.
The study, which was conducted as an analysis of more than 200 tide-gauge stations worldwide, cuts against the long-standing belief among climate scientists that climate change is leading to rapidly accelerating sea level rise.
The research, conducted by Dutch researchers Hessel Voortman and Rob de Vos, found that the average rate of sea level rise in 2020 is only around 1.5 millimeters per year, or 15 centimeters per century.

Hi Indy,

Thanks for that, whether the inundation of Tuvalu by sea is the result of climate change, or some other unidentified phenomenon, regardless the outcome is the same, the disastrous lost of their homes and islands for the Tuvaluan's. The hope is the migration and resettlement of the Islanders, Australia has offered to do that in return for certain conditions. I'm sure you have at least enough humanity in you not to oppose that outcome. Hummmm?

If the islands go under then of course they have to be taken in, goes without saying ! Where they can or want to go is a matter for all humanity. I think this would be a good opportunity for countries to rebuild. Considering that there will be other land masses to rise & sink in the vast ocean with unstable tectonic plates before long, the UN & similar outfits should be planning now where to resettle refugees due to natural upheaval. Perhaps natural disasters can bring human-caused disasters under control.
Natural disaster refugees must be helped whereas agenda driven fake refugees need to be managed.

Hi Indy,

Glad you have some compassion within you. 8,000 from a population of 10,000 registered to migrate to Australia. I'm sure the majority would prefer to stay where they are, but circumstance may prevent that.

Was pleased to see the Afghan Women Refugee Soccer Team (Afghan Women United) in Australia. They play without Taliban approval, those bastards ban women from participating in sport. About half the squad of 23 now reside in Australia, but compete internationally with FIFA approval. For those who chose Australia as their new home, it was not easy for them, things that we take for granted, like supermarket shopping was difficult, not understanding the language they didn't know how to shop. Its my opinion these women are welcomed here, and I'm sure they will have a better life than what the Taliban would give them in Afghanistan.

Paul1405,
Talk to some Lebanese how life was there before they let the Palestinian fanatics in. Lebanon was a thriving country referred to as the riviera of the Middle East.had a good friend who was Lebanese & I flew a lot with him. Great pilot, top bloke all round. used to work for a Lebanese bloke in Sydney many years ago. Again, great bloke. They're the right kind of immigrants, They don't run around Sydney holding up traffic etc. Got Sri Lankan friends, top people. Aboriginal & islander friends, all good. Could easily swap people from their culture & their mentality with some of the home-grown bogans from here !

One must not try to penalise those who would, quite legitimately, express an opinion.
Lawful opinions are valuable, even if they are at variance with our own.
I am sorry to say I think the concept of 'paying them back', in the way suggested, is absurdly immature.
I am sure no right-thinking government would give that idea any credence.
