Haiti is a mountainous island nation. Haiti will be very little affected by rising sea levels. As to the rest of global warming, that’s probably low on the list of Haiti’s troubles. I’m no AGW denier, but Bangladesh, Pacific atoll nations, and so on are far more at risk.

I agree that there are probably areas more at risk from rising sea levels than Haiti, but just because Haiti is mountainous doesn’t mean it’s immune either. The lifefblood of any island nation is its seaports, and if sea levels rise enough to shut down the big ports — big trouble would ensue.
