Others are determined to stay and hope they can find a way of surviving the sea rise,but I don't know how realistic that is.

They choose either Australia or New Zealand as their new home. Don't know how much luck they'll have in Australia, because this is a government that hates refugees, especially if the skin isn't white. But New Zealand is always hospitable, so I imagine that's where most will head for.
