Tuvalu – Sinks beneath the rising water
Many of the islands of the South Pacific are coral atolls which have only recently reared their heads above the sea. With rising global temperatures and increased ice melt island nations like Tuvalu, maximum height ca, 5m above sea level can do little to prevent the oncoming water. How many of the low islands which comprise most of Micronesia and Polynesia will be abandonned and the inhabitants relocated because of the global warming effect of pollution from the developed world?
