This is confirmation bias at its best. Yes, Norway has barely any land affected by sea level rise. Because it's a mountainous country. Good job, gold star to you. But you left out the fact that the vast, vast majority of Norway's population lives on the coast where sea level rise does matter. Almost no one lives in the mountains.

Additionally Norway is highly dependent on the gulf stream to remain habitable, which could also be disrupted by Arctic ice melting.



Google's definition of "Confirmation Bias":

The tendency to interpret new evidence as confirmation of one's existing beliefs or theories.
