Say good bye to your tiny personal island Alora Lieck

"In the 2013 report by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), scientists used global climate models to predict shifts in rainfall and temperature over the world’s continents. But the land mass of many small islands is too small for these models to come up with an accurate prediction" (http://news.discovery.com/earth/global-warming/climate-change-is-drying-up-islands-160411.htm) 
Due to climate change  scientists have seen a growing decline in island size. Because of global warming and icebergs melting it is causing sea levels to rise significantly. Therefore causing islands to "shrink", they aren't really striking just more an more of island surface area is being pulled under the ocean. 
This is very bad for the native islanders who have no where else to go because they aren't able to reach an airport and local further mainland or on a different area. Global warming has always existed and people have always doubted it. So if you own a personal tiny island say goodbye in the next 50 years.
