And any positives e.g. better shipping from APAC to Europe (relatively useless) pale in comparison to the negatives e.g. all of the Pacific islands disappearing.

That's a postulate that remains to be proven. If we are talking about usable landmasses, a few islands disappearing is dwarfed by the unthawing of Siberia + if you prefer islands, the new islands that will be made from Antarctica. There will be costs, and there will be gains. > the people most affected will be the poor and the disadvantaged. The opportunity of a mass migration from poor and mismanaged countries to better run countries or mostly empty places is a once-in-a-millenium event - last seen with Christopher Columbus in America.
