Climate change: the disappearance of Island Nations
It´s already happened, as we had forecasted and it will happen again and they won´t just be small islands that will disappear under the sea.
Rolph Payet, president of the Sea Level Rise Foundation, warns that the main problem caused by the rising sea levels will not only be the existence of refugees within these island countries, but the possibility of entire islands disappearing and all their citizens becoming stateless. .
If sea levels continue to rise at the current rate, it is estimated that, during this century, some islands of The Indonesian Archipelago, made up of 17,000 islands, Micronesia, and all the islands of Tuvalu, Fiji, Kiribati, Maldives and Seychelles, the latter two very popular tourist destinations, will disappear under the water.
Payet calls attention to the fact that not only these islands will be affected by the rising seas, but also coastal areas of highly populated countries, especially, in Asia and Africa.
