Pacific atolls get all the attention, but the Bahamas are just as vulnerable to global warming. It would not take much sea-level rise to inundate Eleuthera and most of the other 700 islands, espeically considering that 95 percent of them are cays. Cat Island (not here) is the highest in the archipelago, so maybe that is where all Bahamians will eventually live. [2014]
Many good points, and a beautiful picture!
