Possible Deleted Entities..eventual sea level rise (or not)?

I’m not one to scaremonger or indeed champion the Global Warming theory. I have my doubts about certain aspects of it all. I’m more than happy to go along with the cosmic ray theory heating Earth ;) .  However, with all the talk of sea levels risings, perhaps considerably over time, it got me wondering what entities/countries might, hypothetically, be at risk now.

 Three from the top of my head are T2 - Tuvalu, 8Q - Maldives and of course BS7 (Scarborough Reef).

    I’m astill wondering why BS7 has been voted as country, being just rocks swallowed at the high tide !

    Hello

    i agree with Maury and second that , BS7H Rocks are excactly similar to Akhziv Islands (Rocks) IOTA AS-100 , No arguements here , just look at the map , So….i think Akhziv Islands (Rocks) should be the Nxt 338 DXCC …huh ?
    hint hint….——it will be great !

    From the ARRL DXCC definition of an island:

    A naturally formed area of land surrounded by water, the surface of which is above water at high tide.

    BS7H is not swallowed at high tide but I read that the ops sometimes had wet feet from storm waves crashing on the rocks.

    Yes it is controversial!

    There is a sketch for a future activity on BS7H showing how they will bring 3 ops on the same reef: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/193/524689337_7363e419fe.jpg?v=0

    I’m guessing that PR China will build up the reef rather than lose their territorial rights due to rising sea levels.

    I think this has been done to some of the Spratly Islands and also by Japan to Okino Torishima.

    Even though there is no immediate threat. It’s a reality.
