A country being lost to rising sea levels - documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Tuvalu is a country home to 11,000 people and they could be the first to lose their entire nation because of climate change. The ocean, an integral part of their culture, is turning against them and rising 1.5 times faster there than the rest of the planet.
24-year-old Grace Malie has been volunteering as a Rising Nations Initiative youth delegate for Tuvalu and she’s been travelling around the world - and is currently at the COP28 in Dubai - to raise awareness so she can secure a future for her country. #LosingParadise

We literally lucked into the most incredible planet we could ever have dreamed of and then completely trashed it like a Beach after Spring Break.
good thing earth can just clean us with some virus, meteor or just climate change
The sheer irony of everyone having to fly around the world during a climate crisis in order to attempt to motivate people around the world to fight a crisis caused by emissions.
'climate climate' ? And you think you can stop time?
This has got NOTHING to do with "climate change!" The climate has been changing since the formation of the planet 4.6 Billion years ago! Who has paid you to try and terrify the uneducated masses with your bullshit? Tovalu is on the MOST active tectonic plate system on the planet: the New Hebrides Plate / Tonga Plate / Australian Plate / Kermadec Plate. Tovalu happens to be on a plate which is moving UNDER another plate. This is called SUBSIDENCE: W\where the oceanic lithosphere of a tectonic plate converges with the less dense lithosphere of a second plate, the heavier plate dives beneath the second plate and sinks into the mantle. Are you going to post the TRUTH or continue with publishing your bullshit for the masses?
And this is why most people dont take it seriously. The people at these conferences cause much more emissions than the regular person even if the regular person lives a pretty good lifestyle.
Ain't that the truth!
💯
A few weeks ago Australia offered refuge to Tuvaluan climate refugees. It's sad though that their culture may be erased.

This is very sad. We have been very close to Tuvaluans who have come to live in New Zealand, and they have brought grace, kindness, openness among other wonderful gifts to our community here in New Zealand. They have been good role models and lifted us all up with their hospitality and positivity. 😊😊😊
I am a loner... From Europe. I have found Tuvalu on the internet by accident, while looking for a country least visited by tourists. And then I fall in love with it! Every inch of it! I would like to visit Tuvalu someday, but I am a working class and it is expensive to fly... I am a builder, and I wonder if I could make a difference by coming to Tuvalu someday and rebuilding houses, just so they don't go underwater so fast... If not, I would be really happy to visit this country anyway and talk to people, and give them hope, and I wish I will get that chance someday! PEACE!
You do know that it's sinking, right? Tuvalu is a beautiful place. It's sad how people are losing their homes
@@mangotango01 Yes I do know that (the video is about it, duh) and I wish to visit it before it completely vanishes...
@@LOBOratoriumI think he meant why do you want to build strong houses there when the entire place is sinking anyway
@@istheBruce To make houses sink less... xD
@@LOBOratorium So.... *How* do you propose to do this? Houses built on pontoons and anchored to the bedrock? IS there bedrock? How far down? Maybe you would do them a better favor helping them move their lives to a safer place.

I live in western Colorado. Yesterday when I walked my dogs (Dec. 7th), a bee was flying around my head. When I got home, I saw some flys in the backyard. THIS IS NOT NORMAL!
Just wait a few days. All the bugs will be gone when freezing weather returns.
Only one solution: Baygon!
Dude people are drowning and you are making fun of it... such a sad creature you are...

Tuvalu Strong we stand by you love from Marshall Islands
All volcanic islands are slowly and imperceptibly sinking not because of sea level rises, but because this is the natural process that has been occurring since the breakup of Pangaea some 252 million years ago: Islands gradually sink, and as they do so, coral reefs begin to form around their edges that eventually become ring or oval shaped atolls encompassing lagoons which eventually also sink and disappear altogether, and that is exactly what is happening to the atolls of Tuvalu: They were once volcanic Islands that gradually sunk beneath the waves of the south Pacific, forming the present day atolls which are also sinking before our very eyes: It's got nothing to do with rising sea levels.
At last someone with common sense. It's very sad but it is part of how the planet changes constantly. Land sinks and elsewhere it rises. Sea levels have increased it is true but actually determining a datum point for the oceans as a whole is all but impossible. Man made increase in sea levels may well play a part but not enough to drown Tuvalu on its own.
100% correct. Pity Politicians don't have the good sense that you do!
Shhhhh. You're destroying the narrative.
Sea levels are measured from space, and have risen steadily over the past decades.
Of course sea levels are a lagging indicator of global warming, as ice takes centuries to melt, but melt it is doing.
We apparently have enough ice on the planet to raise sea levels by over 60 metres. Incredible really, but that water has to go somewhere.
I think that we are probably locked in to about 12 metres of sea level increase.
You can't negotiate with the melting point of ice.
These volcanic, indeed, have been sinking, but we are talking about a few millimeters by year, which cannot explain the rate of their disappearance, plus it is accelerating. This is definitely caused by rising level of the ocean, with mainly anthropological factors behind it.
Come to NZ my whanau. We shall open our doors wide open for you. Love to all our Tuvalu whanau. I wish we could push these oceans back if only to keep our motherlands as they are. Ka aroha whanau.
Those two people advising the Tuvalu President were a real reassurance. Were they unable to get all 4 horsemen of the apocalypse to attend that meeting ?

I am so heartened to see all these comments here, people are starting to seriously question the narrative they are being fed by the likes of the BBC and Channel 4. It just confirms my view that regular people are smarter and have more common sense than the establishment ruling classes
The Sahara desert was once an ocean. Climate change is part of the natural world with or without humans.
Could we flood the Sahara?
I find funny, the sheer audacity of humans into thinking that they can "control" the weather or the nature
There is compelling evidence that Tuvalu is sinking, not that the sea level is rising.
If the ocean is rising why is the title "Tuvalu is sinking"??? The planet has gone through upheavals over millions of years. It's not going to stop just because a group of people are screaming about "climate change".
This is Plate Tectonics.
Rising oceans or sinking islands?
If oceans were rising, it would be rising EVERYWHERE. This is plate tectonics / subsidence.
Its called coastal erosion. Those island nations are slowly getting swept away into the sea with every wave, taking sand, dragging it back into the sea. The sea level doesn't just rise in certain parts of the planet or certain oceans, it would rise equally
these people are absolutely beautiful . I feel so sorry for them losing their livelihood and their land. COP28 looked like a complete sham and smokescreen, with super-rich guys gatherring in a super-luxurious location and producing no meaningful decisions whatsoever. How very sad
I remmeber when this was supposed to happen 30 years ago....
NO. 30 year ago the "ice age" was coming...
This was supposed to happen within 10 years from the release of the Al Gore movie.

What's with the Thumbnail of the woman and child standing in the Ocean as if they are living there? What a great *lie* that is!
Hint: Don't use Israel as a model
Just like the western Hawaiian islands no not the ones you can see, but the other group under water far to the west__ it's call nature.
At no point did they show an actually sinking coastline. Are these people being haunted by a spectre?

They are already losing land
@@Lando-kx6so Where?
In essence, you are left in a powerless position at the mercy of others and with the most to lose. There is a glaring lesson in this for everyone. My heart goes out to you, I am so sorry.

Very interesting to read, thank you for posting. Unfortunately this observation will never be discussed on mainstream media as it doesn't comply with the narrative 🤬🤬🤬
Compare the Google Earth image of 1985 with the image of 2017; the island with Fakaifou appears to be considerably larger than it was; for a "disappearing island" it does look surprisingly healthy.
The keyword is slowly. These islands have been above water for thousands of years, and now all of a suddenly they are all going to completely vanish over a few decades? Did you actually think this through?
Even if that was true, with the acidification of the ocean those corals wouldn’t last long. The changing climate bleaches reefs and kills them
Correct!
This is undoubtedly a shame, however lets put it in to perspective. Whilst sad, 11000 people can easily be relocated. 750000 people (at least probably more) are currently coming here from a safe country (France) on top of that the twisted statistics indicate that The Netherlands can no longer grow vegetables in poly tunnels in the interest of meeting eco targets, and the British farmers can no longer grow beef on fields that are only good for growing grass. In the situation of the British farmers, they are being accused of reporposing land to grow beef - the statistics being used include close to 40% of the carbon footprint is reporposing land.. that is as far as I'm aware, chopping down trees, like in South America to graze cattle. That doesn't happen in the uk and farmers can't grow crops on the sloping fields - so they grow beef. Humans are hellbent on their own destruction.. The Cows say,"they cut down all the trees, and blame us for farting"
Shall always support farmers till my last breath.

Tuvalu is a mined out remnant of a volcano and If 2023 was the hottest year on record how can the Arctic sea ice extent be higher now than in 2013 ? nsidc.org/data/seaice_index/images/daily_images/N_stddev_timeseries.png
Pleased to see you fight for your lovely land. Shows the world that tropical islands is beautiful. Love from SI also experiences the sea level rises
Tuvalu is very small. Isn't it possible to raise the land there by a few meters somehow? May be grow more mangrove around the perimeter and dump some waste rocks and soil from somewhere else? It really breaks my heart to see these beautiful people lose their land and identity.
A recent study found that the 101 islands of Tuvalu had grown in land mass by 2.9%.
The scientists observed that despite rising sea levels, many shorelines in Tuvalu and neighbouring Pacific atolls have maintained relative stability, “without significant alteration”. A comprehensive re-examination of data on 30 Pacific and Indian Ocean atolls with 709 islands found that none of them had lost any land.
As if it has never happened before.
Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand are countries whose climate may be similar to Tuvalu but whose lifestyle is not the same. Australia had said no to a referendum at the First Nation so they could make decisions for them so forget about having a place there too, one girl in this documentary said she went there and she had returned to Tuvalu. The islands of Fiji could be a similar place but they will also have the same fate and they will have to move again. If a tsunami were to repeat itself like in 2004 in the Caribbean, Tuvalu would no longer exist, there is an urgent need to act. It's sad because Tuvalu seems to be a Paradise on earth.

The lies are permitting fake solutions to blind you.
Since when did climate change cause islands to SINK?
The 28th CoP, so 28 years of discussions on global warming and what has been achieved? Carbon dioxide emissions continue to increase at about the same rate and methane emissions are rising even faster. And global warming is accelerating, not slowing down. Up to around 2010, global average temperatures were rising by about 0.18 degrees per decade. Since them warming has accelerated to about 0.27 degrees per decade. All we seem to get from the CoP meeting is a lot of talk, a few long term targets but little decisive action. Perhaps the first thing is to kick oil companies out of the CoP meetings and set a carbon tax at a level that makes fossil fuels uneconomic.

How do you think the world should get it's heat and energy? The majority of the population has cold winters. Electricity is generated by coal. People cook and warm their houses with gas. Oil is necessary for most people to drive their vehicles to work everyday. Do you think people should all ride horses? These people need to plan to relocate. Atlantis sunk too and that can't be blamed on global warming. Farting cows are not the problem..
Tuvalu 😢 Poor people ☮️🙏

No. We learned about natural processes in elementary school. This has been happen before humans existed and will continue after we are all gone. So stop with the fear mongering.
If I understand correctly this is something that has been going on since pre-historic times. There are many places around the world where archaeologists have discovered ancient ruins under the sea. There was climate change in pre history when various peoples had to abandon their cities and migrate to other regions. Here in the UK 30/40 years ago scientists were telling us that the South Coast of England would be under water by now. As far as I know property there hasn't become dirt cheap.
So easy for you to say that but if you live in a tiny vulnerable nation such as Tuvalu then you understand why they crying out for the world's assistance in battling climate change. Go and live on those tiny islands to know and understand their troubles and concerns they are facing daily, especially in cyclone seasons and king tides.
Proof that “30/40 years ago scientists were telling us that the South Coast would be under water by now?”
Go get your information from peer-reviewed papers from respectable scientific journals. Not some journalists on TV.
You can’t be serious. People have been dying from the beginning of time as well, but when you accelerate the process that’s very dangerous. I don’t know if you’re just accepting propaganda from the oil industries or if you just don’t want to accept the truth. I guess of a nuclear bomb goes off we can say hey, who cares, people have been dying since the beginning of time. Or if a disease wiped out half the population, who cares people have been dying since the beginning of time. That’s the logic you’re espousing.
So THE SEA LEVEL is only rising on these Islands. The islands are sinking stop the BS
your comment will be erased, like so many others that pointed out the same point.
see? realizing the problem is not due to climate change will ruin their narrative
This is so heart breaking😢😥, my hearts goes out to Tuvalu.....Love from PNG
They should relocate... Philippines, Australia, Hawaii...etc ...
Island rises and fall, they are volcanic Island ffs😂 they have been harping on about this for a century. I've lived beside the sea on the west cost of Ireland for 40 year, absolutely no change🤷♂️
I think as long as profits and greed take centre stage nothing will happen. Human nature really. It's a societal addiction. So in my experience, something pretty tragic will have to happen to change course.
It’s psychopathy, our planet is dying because of a mental condition that increases the likelihood of success within corporations and government.
Not in human nature to care more than about one's own immediate future is it. Sad but true, might be the end of humanity someday. The Stars are not saving us, nor Mars.
You will be fine on Saba, you have that big mountain. I know someone who knew someone who moved there to work with her marine biologist partner. Nice life. Dodgy airport! Lol.
It is if you don't like flying, fun if you do!!! Just have to make the most of what we've got. 'Just enjoy yourself ' is my motto!
It's not human nature.
It's the system we live under. It's the greed and callousness of the powerful specifically.
Our system gives power to the worst people. So the cycle of destruction goes round and round.
We need to change the system to one that actually works for the vast majority of ordinary people, not a tiny oligarchic elite.
Honestly if they do lose their Island the west needs to take them in as refugees 100%
Tuvalu just built a new 30m $ International Airport. So tourists can fly in from anywhere in the world. Lorne.
I hope this doesn’t happen!! We must slow down climate change 😢
This should be a mandatory watch for everyone
Yes, as an example how they lie to us, you probably mean.... Have you ever checked the see rise statistics on the NASA Climate Website? Of course not. Because you are afraid to discover that this is all BS. I know that.
I bet Ch4 wants them all to come here.
The patience of you all is amazing I wish the world was the same but it has destroyed the lands
"A Horse With No Name"
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la la...
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la la...
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la la...
After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with its life underground
And a perfect disguise all above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la la...
The Word of God said, island will dissapear and new ones will rise.
Indeed and also there will be a new Heaven and a new Earth.
The southern ocean has not risen by even 1mm. Check out The Maldives. All this climate talk is garbage.
Tuvalu is not an island . its an atoll. If you are to lazy to see how an atoll declines keep following the judas goat. It will cost you money to change nothing
Australia is not an accepting nation....to an Australian and our nation, that is offensive and we have had enough of the rejection....how to help a people group that don't want you, or your nation and who don't really know us.
defensive much?
I was talking to my friend from Trinidad and Tobago about this country...he was saying where he is from there use to be a lighthouse out in the water now there is a round about around it.
Do you think that we have rising tarmac levels then?
But at what time of the day?
...because this can also be a consequence of the tide.
We are having our homelands, countries and culture removed, subsumed, eradicated every day. There seems to be no remedy. At least, in Tuvalu, they agree that it Is your country. You had a piece of heaven for your own. Where you live, there's no guarantee that you won't get a volcano eruption on or near it tomorrow. The entire sea bed is busy. That said- I personally wouldn't touch Kerry with a barge pole. He'll probably move you all off of your island and build a fabulous resort.

AND U NO IT🫡
Biggest risk to these people in the immediate to medium term is poor health, driven by the availability of processed food, high concentration sugar products and a move from local , ancient food practices. Look at average life expectancy, obesity and diabetes rates. This is the immediate issue.
Sea level rise historically, has had little to nothing to do with human interference. Look at sea levels rises , as recently as the last 6500 to 800 year time frame, no excess carbon contribution from Man , however massive changes driven by natural processes, way beyond our control. That will occur irrespective of our input or withdrawal of certain factors. What is often lost in these conversations is our minimal time on this planet, relative to what we percieve as the reality of our presence. We are a fleeting moment in the earths history, with natural forces that we can't ever influence or control, that will always superceed our ability to change. A point in case being the earthquake mentioned in this short piece, complete reversal of carbon ommisions or not, a tsunami resulting from that quake, has the potential at anytime to wipe out Tuvalu.
I'm not a denier of climate change, however the way it is packaged and the rhetoric used to somehow show that we can "change" natural cycles is questionable ! We can make changes and measure results, but nature is always in control......don't believe me? Then check sea levels from 10,000 years ago, and 10,000 before that, or atmospheric carbon levels 50 million years ago.....
Rapid climate change, the rate at which it’s happening over the next decades is an immediate threat. Look up what the world with 2, 3 or 4 degrees of warming looks like, once we reach these thresholds not in a million years, but by the end of the century.
Why do these people have to fly to scotland to have their voices heard. It should be the other way around: the “big club” should visit countries like tuvalu or the marshall islands
I plan to move there!
Move to Figi. Just down the road
Countries like Australia or New Zealand should donate land for a new Tuvalau nation.
Do you think they would do that? How naive!
There's a difference between what i think should happen and what i think would happen.@@ProbotX-eo5ln
Why should we?
Really? Who does that? The best they could do is absorb the people. Grant them citizenship. That's all and no more...
@@amoretpax199because they have HUGE amounts of land
I want to wear the latest seasonal fashions and buy lots of unnecessary stuff. No way I am keeping my cars for more than five years or my phone more than two years. I deserve all this lifestyle. It is good for the economy.
I have a right to fly a dozen times a year. No way my family can possibly live in less than 100,000 sq ft of house and land.
Tuvalu is going to disappear you say?! Awe that's sad, what's causing that I wonder? ... ... have you seen this winter's latest fashion colors. I love the pastel greens I am going this to replace my wardrobe this weekend, I will send last years to 'goodwill' cause I like to help the planet. 🤪
This lifestyle is the wish of many people regardless of what it does to others. It is unsustainable but nothing will be done until New York and London are submerging under the waves.
It is too late for Tuvalu, it's not so much the land ice melting. Just thermal expansion will do it. The sea will expand due to being warmer.
People don't really care about other people, we live like the short-sighted apes that we are. Every time we vote we choose to line our own pockets for the short term. It may be the end of humanity someday but the planet will be fine for another billion years until the Sun wipes away all life when it heats up.
Ultimately, it will all have been for nothing, the biggest "just because it could", ever!

The same technique used by American indigenous people to create artificial islands can be used to save countries from sinking.
It's not the so called rising sea levels that make Tuvalu sink. It's because the vulcanic bottom is sinking like all other vulcanos under water does...
Climate hoax can be blamed for everything. This is PLATE TECTONICS, pure and simple.
The current situation in Tuvalu is where Britain will be in 15 years.

What a load of pannicking tripe! These people won't be "wiped out" As soon as their feet get wet they will get into their canoes and find somewhere drier. It's more likely their island is sinking and not sea levels rising.
An excellent piece.
How?

Do you know that the top 1% 77 million people of the worlds population, use more energy than the bottom 5 billion humans on earth😂 globalist warming is all about controlling the sheep and taxing them to death
...of scaremongering propaganda
This has got NOTHING to do with "climate change!" The climate has been changing since the formation of the planet 4.6 Billion years ago! Who has paid you to try and terrify the uneducated masses with your bullshit? Tovalu is on the MOST active tectonic plate system on the planet: the New Hebrides Plate / Tonga Plate / Australian Plate / Kermadec Plate. Tovalu happens to be on a plate which is moving UNDER another plate. This is called SUBSIDENCE: W\where the oceanic lithosphere of a tectonic plate converges with the less dense lithosphere of a second plate, the heavier plate dives beneath the second plate and sinks into the mantle. Are you going to post the TRUTH or continue with publishing your bullshit for the masses?
You mean, excellent because they are exposing the Channel 4 lies?
I don’t know how people can look at countries literally disappearing, and just say it’s not real or it’s not a big deal.
Ive been to tuvalu many times and never once have the people mentioned it was in peril
Apart from the ocxasional high tide it has always looked the same
Sure, Terry! We believe you lol
Plate Tectonics
@@michaelrch I'm sure you don't but island nations such as The Maldives were meant to have been swept away 10 years ago. I've looked online and so far as I can tell the places I visited 20 years ago are doing just fine. The relationship between the sea and the land there has not varied enough to detect.
@@chairman823 from NASA
"Sea level in Tuvalu is nearly 6 inches (0.15 meters) higher than it was 30 years ago, according to the assessment. The average rate of increase - about 0.2 inches or 5 millimeters per year - is expected to more than double by 2100, and is already 1.5 times faster than the global average. Sea level in coastal areas, or relative sea level, is projected to rise 8 inches (20 centimeters) or more by 2050 and perhaps another 20 to 40 inches (1/2 to 1 meter) by the end of the century."
@@michaelrch And what others have said on here is also true in that the region Tuvalu is in is subject sinking. So 6 inches of varience between land and sea does not necessarily imply sea level rise.
😢The Ocean level (as recorded at Fort Denison in Sydney Harbour in Australia) , reveals that no change whatsoever has occured to ocean levels since 1870.❤
She said "Imagine losing your identity and culture" At least it's nature taking it away and not by the evils of mankind itself. Which is what happened to my people. People at least feel sympathy for you. What happened to my people there is very little sympathy for.
May I ask? what r u talking about and what happened to your people?
Any politician can sit there talking about now's the time for a plan, unless every nation is agreed to the plan, then it won't work

What do you want every nation to do, tell the sea not to erode their sand shoreline?
They should shut down their new international airport if they are serious about 'climate change' and stop playing the victim and blaming somebody else
Gotta keep that UN $$ flowing
😢 it's sad, but wake-up, its evolution and one must learn flow with and in the universal and spiritual streams of change.
Be grateful for the opportunity and for the time you had on the islands, but it's now time to move on and too begin sharing your knowledge and culture with the rest of humanity.
And that's a blessed gift from the higher spiritual beings given to all of you.
Fear not, be of courage and of strength 💪 follow your CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS.
Use your spiritual 👁discernment.
I am because I AM was, is, and always will be 1st.

This 'documentary' was very light on facts and data. The presenter made a brief reference to places that have been eroded away, and no longer there compared to when she was a child. But no data was presented as to how much of the islands have actually been lost - nothing at all. How much of Tuvalu has been lost to rising sea levels? Does anybody know?

No. No-one can provide any evidence, but it's out of the reach of most people. So they lie to us, just like the lie that the Antarctic ice is reducing - it's not. Just like the coral reefs are dying - they're growing.
Pacific island areas have been increasing because coral growth is more rapid than the few millimeters of sea rise every year.
'Sea level rise caused by the climate crisis is considered a major threat to low-lying Pacific atolls. Despite this, however, some of these islands are actually growing.
Now, a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters Nov. 20 has figured out why. The coral reefs that give these islands their structure are continuing to produce sediment.
“The big picture with this is the modern day coral reef can build an island even though the sea level is rising,” study coauthor and University of Auckland senior lecturer Dr. Murray Ford told Stuff.
Atolls are islands situated on top of rings of coral, with a lagoon in the center. Past studies have indicated that several of these islands have actually been growing, despite the threat of rising sea levels. A 2018 analysis of 30 Pacific and Indian Ocean atolls including 709 islands found that none of the atolls had lost land area in the preceding decades and that 88.6 percent of the islands had either increased their size or stayed the same.
“That started a bit of a goldrush in terms of studies,” Ford told CNN. “The signal was kind of consistent - there’s no widespread chronic erosion of atoll islands in the Pacific.”'
The ocean doesn't rise in one place and not rise elswhere
China is making islands maybe they could show them how they do it.
Lol you guys do realize the ice age ended at some point right? I get this is worrying, but nothing stays the same forever, though respect for trying to keep this place afloat as long as possible.
“It’s not happening!”
“Okay it’s happening but not because of us!”
“Okay we’re contributing but only a little bit”
“Okay we doomed ourselves but now it’s too late so we might as well enjoy it now”
But gaslighting is emissions-free ay Channel 4 👍
My heart goes out to Tuvalu.
The time for migration is now. Apply for visas in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, USA or the UK immediately!
Tuvalu is a mined out remnant of a volcano and If 2023 was the hottest year on record how can the Arctic sea ice extent be higher now than in 2013 ? nsidc.org/data/seaice_index/images/daily_images/N_stddev_timeseries.png
May God be with you all , long live Tuvalu!
it's sad that they keep working to protect their island from the island, while the problems are mostly coming outside of the island, from those big nations (the US, European countries, China, etc), yet they're still feeling unresponsible because it's hard to believe in scientists when money and power are 2 only things in their head
The worlds climate move in cycles. We can't stop that from happening. There is no reason to blame ''people on the other side of the globe''. The world will be warmer, the ice will melt, the sea level will rise. We have to accept that.

Excellent information and what a task to try and save these islands! Good lock!

Tuvalu is probably doomed, as inaction for the passed decade has brought the advance in global warming into logarithmic speed. This nation is the Cassandra for the world. Are we listening?
The rich and powerful are not. They think their money will save them. But. Their mansions will fall in windstorms. They will drown, even in their mountain top castles. They will die as the rest of humanity will. Nature will have Her revenge.
What information are you gleaning? The island is sinking, not sea levels rising.
Paying for Tuvalu 🇹🇻
Without green house gasses , there would be an ice age .

Pray for you Tuvalu Big countries don’t care till it happens to them Pray and have faith in God ❤❤
Gps data on the internet from JPL clearly shows the station, TUVA, is sinking. The population is increasing. Island area is increasing as it sinks due to coral atoll dynamics which has been going on since forever. There hasn't been an acceleration in the rate of sea rise since the end of the Little Ice Age.
A recent study found that the 101 islands of Tuvalu had grown in land mass by 2.9%.
The scientists observed that despite rising sea levels, many shorelines in Tuvalu and neighbouring Pacific atolls have maintained relative stability, “without significant alteration”. A comprehensive re-examination of data on 30 Pacific and Indian Ocean atolls with 709 islands found that none of them had lost any land.
Pass money from one group to another and solve the problem of plate techtonics. Righty ho.
The train already left the station unfortunately
Not one logical, scientific sentence uttered in this entire piece. So sad people are fed sad, tear jerking narratives and they don't even know it.
Not my problem, not a modern problem, but you can bet the BILLIONARIES can sell us the solution
Tuvalu is going to sink no matter what. It is an inevitable fact. They need to relocate to new land.
All commercial aviation must be stopped. Too much fuel is being delivered to the atmosphere.
Tuvalu seems to be on the brink of collapse. We must all be vigilant of our surroundings.
The sky is falling....

Strange indeed: Diego Garcia - the small BIOT island from where the indigenous people were driven from - in almost total secrecy: parliament not once being consulted, in the early 1970's ( and traded with the US for a Polaris missile) seems remarkably unaffected: its two mile long runway, used by B52 bombers, which is two metres above sea level, never seems to be affected by the rising sea level, changing climate, 'extreme' weather events etc., and whilst off duty, those US servicemen stationed there enjoy an idyllic lifestyle, completely unconcerned.
I think its a good idea to create a virtual Tuvalu, it could become a game like World of Warcraft or Cyberpunk 2077 that are both digital lands... I had in mind creating a virtual Portugal, and it would be focus in space colonization... So in conclusion Tuvalu will not be alone because Portugal will also become a digital country
Yeah, but the people living on Tuvalu only 2 feet from the ocean have to know that comes with many inherit risks. Climate Change or not. It's actually part of the British Empire. I hope Great Britain has a plan for these people in case of disaster. Most countries are not even acknowledging climate change like Russia, China, India, Turkey none of them are trying to reduce their pollution into the world. While western countries have spent hundreds of billions to reduce pollution. Which means obviously Russia, China, India, Turkey etc. are the problem and cause of Climate Change!
The solutions will all lay within the Polynesian and Oceania nations. You need all your elders and leaders to meet and putting down historic rivalry, understand your deeper connections. And those that have the best land conditions to deal with the coming sea rise, need to prepare to welcome those that are being and will be displaced.
Waiting for the developed world to save you is sadly not going to help in this short to medium term era of climate change.

The world pays lip service to doing anything about these kind of problems. They say we care but do nothing.
What would they do?

talk is cheap hehe
Should they put the coral island on stilts? Who can hold back the ocean? No one can fix this. It's not a man made problem.
Didn’t they just build a new airport and several buildings.?
Or was that another endangered island?
I think it’s very tragic that the same European missionaries who brought Christianity to these islands are the same ones who have created this nightmare.
You think that is so ? The biggest polluter right now is China. A couple of new coal fired power stations a week suggests they don't worry much about CO2.
Fucking how?
How????
😂
Map a landscape of 100kilimeters radius from the main island.
Create visualization map with landscape and water piping irrigation as well as housing and conservation of the flora and fauna ecosystem.
For reclaiming the land use vessel based coastal excavators to dig up the coastal shores.
Connect with dairy based companies and countries.
By utilising the UNESCO convention get the soil mixed with cowdung. .,
Create a pillared dock system of these columns by first just like tractors ploughing the ground mixed with fertilizers etc, plough the sea spil mixed with fertilizers nutrients and cowdung.
Then install these pillared dock of soil mixed cowdung pillars .
With base cross pillars as well of square rectangular or any, plant diverse varieties of water absorption plants and vegetation in these blocks as well as ge soil mixed cowdung pillars.
Over in a ouple of years the sea water shall be absorbed as well as the dead leaves and other dead vegetat6will allow for futher marine growth whilst reclaim g the land as well.
Once installed start by planting mangroves and others as well.
