But im wondering if the ocean levels rise as a result of global warming isnt all this at serious risk of being destroyed?
Don't worry, the sea level is only currently rising at 30cm per century, the islands are man made and will constantly be adapted in the decades to come if it becomes a problem. I should imagine the design life of the current buildings will be safe from this phenomena, adaptation can be deployed on reconstruction in many years to come!
