Best keep the old house in the UK might be a hot place near the sea if things pan out....

Well it’s a fact that warmer weather kills less people than cold weather. 
 

It’s also a fact that warm weather and higher CO2 helps plants grow, meaning more food. Ask anyone who uses industrial greenhouses. They increase CO2 in the greenhouse for that very reason. 
 

Just sayin…

Index include factor such as how government can handle. it is easy to understand why Myanmar ranks top among Island countries, if we remember "Nargis Cyclone" in Myanmar which cost $13 billions and countless life. Another geographic advantage is majority of Thailand tends to get strong Strom from east/north after passing inland rather from west protected by mountain ranges from Burma. Burma and Bangladesh/India gets hit direct from south bay of Bengal. Please correct me.

Start building houses on stilts :) It's the only thing that saves our houses here.

Griff, keep that house in the UK. It'll be a seaside house, with palm trees one day:D

A little odd that all these countries are 3rd world classified, I guess it fits their narrative to keep people in fear much like Covid!  I wonder why Laos is not on the list, it has terrible landslides and flooding but so does china & Veitnam!
