The wave action eroding the shoreline is common to every shoreline and has nothing to do whatsoever with climate change.

Building a seawall is just going to be an expensive exercise in delaying the inevitable. The island is doomed.

You are missing the obvious.. erosion of the shoreline will get worse as the sea level rises. In this case they are one and of the same a cause & effect.. Be it the sea level rising or the island is sinking, either way the erosion gets worse.
