Most of the Pacific islands about which these claims are made are
coral islands which have survived the 120m rise in sea levels since
the end of the ice age. See
https://www.giss.nasa.gov/research/briefs/gornitz_09/
Nobody has tried to explain why the islands should suddenly give up
and die in the near future.

The islands didn't float up as sea levels rose ... they got smaller. Look
up Doggerland.

Here's what could happen to Florida with a few feet of rise in sea level:

Doggerland is not a Pacific island. The Pacific islands about which
people are concerned are coral islands whose growth has followed the
rise in sea levels over the 10,000 yars or more.

summer in the US jun 21 to sep 23

The US Climate Extremes Index (USCEI) for January-July was 170
percent of average, and the seventh largest USCEI on record for the
year-to-date. The spatial extent of one-day precipitation extremes was
the fifth highest on record, while the percent area of the contiguous
US in drought was also much above average. The percent area of the
country experiencing extremes in both warm and cool daytime and
nighttime temperatures was also above average, reflecting the dominant
warm-west/cold-east pattern entrenched throughout the year. The USCEI
is an index that tracks extremes (falling in the upper or lower 10
percent of the record) in temperature, precipitation, drought, and
land-falling tropical cyclones across the contiguous US.

Truncated again. Anyway you seem to be referring to a trail of ancient
underwater volcanic pinnacles. They are eroding away in much the same
fashion as the less old Galapagos islands.

If sea levels rise or islands subside, waves will just deposit more
parrotfish poop (coral sand) on shore, unless the water temperature is too
cold for coral to survive.

Also, the Dogger Bank isn't in the tropics...
