Cost of protecting Kiribati islands from rising seas

Kiribati's president wants the rest of the world to pay the cost of protecting the Kiribati islands from rising seas.

To do this for 10 or 20 years might be feasible. If we curb global heating fast, the problem may then vanish as a result. But if global heating continues unchecked, the idea is hopeless.

Perhaps the president is well aware of this and is actually pushing for the major countries to curb global heating quickly. It is worth a try, for the sake of each and every one of us.
