How does it feel to lose your home to climate change? The roughly 10,000 residents of Tuvalu will be among the first in the world to have to confront this question.

With an average height above sea level of less than 3 metres, Tuvalu is on course to become completely uninhabitable due to flooding, storm surges and erosion. By 2100, sea levels are projected to rise by 72 centimetres and the coral atoll archipelago, which is roughly midway between Australia and Hawaii, is expected to experience flooding for nearly a third of every year.

I wonder if this estimate assumes a constant rate of sea level rise or does it take into account that it's only going to accelerate. Seems quite low to me.

Yeah, if the West Antarctica ice shelf collapses, I don't see how it could be that low. But we can't predict exactly how long the ice will take to melt, so maybe it really will happen gradually.
