As someone who actually lives in the area in the satellite image shown in the article, this worries me. What worries me even more is that a few days ago on a local news website there was an article of a group warning the local government about rising sea levels, but most of the reactions were of climate denial. Saying that sea levels have been rising for centuries, but are not accelerating, that the island Tuvalu is growing[1] as some sort of proof that sea levels aren't rising.
I wonder how these people figure how the icecaps can melt without raising the sea level. It's become very fashionable to be 'skeptic' these days.
