There is a huge misunderstanding in the real nature of the problem that these islands are facing. It is not the rising of the rising of the ocean itself, but the compound effects of ocean acidification, which dissolves the calcium carbonate of the reef and also inhibits the ability of the coral polyps to create new calcium carbonate. For the denialists, there is a very basic chemical balance equation, first grade chemistry, that explains this phenomenon pretty well. The other problem is coral bleaching, contamination and other issues that kill the coral and help breaking it down. The islands are not "sinking", like some imaginary Atlantis, they are dissolving. Again, denialists: Check out the cliffs of England, even without global warming, you can see all the ingredients of what happens in these island communities but at a different scale. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to stop acidification and little can be done about global warming, except a mass catastrophe that wakes people up, finally, or else just wait until a good amount of boomers is three feet under so that the younger generations have a say in global policies. It will be already too late by then, but at least people should be able to organize in a more human way. They will have no choice anyway.

It's not could, it's will, Tuvalu is going to disappear and anyone who thinks 2050 or 2060 is going to be a walk in the park is delusional: the question now is how we want 2100 to look like.
We don't have until 2050 before life on Earth becomes unbearable. I live in Scotland, a very wet place filled with huge fresh water lochs (lakes). Water has never been a problem here. If anything we're prone to a bit of flooding. This summer we had record breaking temperatures and had drought restrictions! When I think about other countries I have always acknowledged what's happening there and how bad drought has been for them. But with our abundance of water here, it never even occurred to me that we were nearly that close to having restrictions, let alone seeing rivers starting to dry up and loch levels falling. I knew it would happen eventually, but it's happening now. We do not have until 2050, none of us do.
Why , Britain was the colonial master for almost 100yrs, they are the only ones with responsibility and China and India of course with all their pollution.
@@mattbarbarich3295 Because Australia and New Zealand are closest to their home in climate and proximity. As an Australian, having them wouldn't be a burden. I just hope they don't have to move
Climate disasters hit many parts of world, most countries burdened by huge financial loss . Hence, investment in green technology is a wise solution and cost effective to mitigate the impact of climate disaster. The world leaders must bear in mind that protection the safety of people and country disasters from climate disasters are top priority to improve trust and support of people to their government.
Beautiful country, Beautiful People. My words means nothing in saving the Island. My money and contribution to this Island and the people who are doing their job to save their Home or help them find a new home. I am sorry for what we done to the Climate
I am hoping there will be a place they can buy and all relocate together A large habitable Island and lots of money to build infrastructure and a future May God bless the people ofTuvalu
Large companies and 1st world countries contributes, hugely, to the climate change BUT I think, its the HUMAN CONSUMERS, including myself. The undying INCONTENMENT, SATISFACTION, and how humans CREATION to live a EFFORTLESS life!
You know what why not create new micro-nations in the USA. I mean if the USA can't let the Marshall Islands have a place in the Midwest there's no use in the USA to consider itself an ally of these small countries in the Pacific ocean.
What do they think their ancestors did, How do they think they made it onto Tuvalu in the first place? Their ancestors before them probably faced a similar crisis in which the entire people moved and landed on that Island. Many acient Pacific islanders did this when the land bared no food or was no longer able to live there, they'd make boats and sail until they found a new island they could make home. Its not a matter of who can help, its a matter of finding them a new home they can move too, they moved millions of jews from Europe and settled them in Jureuselan, they can help move the Tuvalians to a new island thats suitable. But then in the end you know no one is gonna help, no one wants to help (Gov. Wise) they are just going assimulate them into another island perhaps even migrate them to Australia like they did the Jewish people and set up a new micro nation. If i were to help I would first find a suitable land that is unoccupied and move them there, let them start over and grow again and rebuild their society. as long as the people can survive, grow food, and be self substained their roots and culture can't die.
Airports in coastal cities that are extended are man-made in Hong Kong, Seoul-Incheon, and Tokyo. Even parts of Dubai that stretch outward into the sea are man-made. Would it be too costly to reclaim the land instead of relocating to another more oversized island?
Tuvalu has been studied along with other coral atolls since before Darwin, and it was clear at that time that such atolls GROW with sea level rise. They are not sinking. At all.@@youwatch1995
Cmon,there are around 12k of residents. Make countries provide them with citizenship they want to get. For example one tuvalu citizen wants to have a citizenship of Australia - grant it to him…
Even if we cut 100% carbon output, nature needs decades to absorb back those carbon. So reducing our carbon print will not fix the problem, but it will delay it.
I don't think they will actually leave, because no one want to abandon this beautiful country and become second class citizens of some other countries. Reclamation will be more realistic.
What if the US collapsed? You'd feel the exact same patriotism these people are feeling. The island is all these people have known in their entire lives, but now it's disappearing.
This is sad. Just wondering if China and Dubai can make their own artificial island, cant they make their entire island a little bit higher? or perhaps make an artificial mountain?
"Keeping all that's special about their island culture"? What if the same was said about Britain. I can only imagine the negative superlatives that would be thrown around by the likes of C4.
At the current rate, the last sand dune will be underwater in only 1172 years. Only the island is made up of shifting sands that rise and fall and relocate so such calculations are meaningless. Typhoons are no more a problem now than they ever were. Lack of fresh water is their problem.

Why are relying on “Other People” to change the climate.? It’s a natural thing that’s going to happen. Relocation is necessary for them, the island will soon be under water, & time is an illusion, it’s best to leave while it’s still on land.
Common sense. But I bet in the UK planners are still building on possible flood areas. So where does the UK build someone will ask...well,..not in the obvious places just to make money would be a start.
We have been building where we SHOULDN'T have built. This has been the case for centuries. Now the folly of building where we shouldn't have done is being linked to "climate change." It is convenient for those politicians who are trying to force their citizenry to do what the POLITICIAN wants.
@@maigepresents5840 If it happens at all, it will NOT be quick enough to make that dream come true. In the meantime, new science will come up with new sources of energy. The danger is in discarding too quickly what we have and know works well.
Send them large rocks to build up there island? Or how about some sort of floating platform thats anchored? Or maybe they all just need to move to new zealand or somewhere uninhabited in australia, i figure if they can live on a tiny island they could make a living anywhere
I understand the need for their culture and own governance to be preserved. Something is better than nothing however so I am wondering. Can other countries open up an asylum program based on environmental needs? At least setting up community or family outposts in other countries could provide support for another landing spot. Also, after naturalization a voice in their new respective government?

There is only one problem with this narrative; the seas are not rising at Tuvalu. All recent (within the last several hundreds of years) are purely local. On the east coast of the US sea levels are rising at about 10 inches per century while at Sweden and Finland they are falling at about 15 inches per century. There is no available tool to monitor global epochal sea level change due to some presumed significant loss of glacial ice. Here is a completely absurd statement made by NOAA: _"The two major causes of global sea level rise are thermal expansion caused by warming of the ocean (since water expands as it warms) and increased melting of land-based ice, such as glaciers and ice sheets"_ Even if the ocean were to be warming taken as a whole (there is no evidence of this) the thermal expansion (or contraction) of water is function only of *_column height_* and as such has no possible influence over shorelines. Over the deep oceans thermal contraction and expansion occurs all the time and can be as much as several feet over a single season but nobody cares or notices it. One would think the -"scientists"- bureaucrats at NOAA would realize this. Winter and Summer seasonal water temperature variations have no effect whatsoever at the shoreline. In fact, Tuvalu has been growing in size not shrinking which it would do if the local sea level actually were rising there but it's not. *_"In the four decades to 2014, Tuvalu's total land area grew by 73 hectares, or 2.9 per cent."_* www.abc.net.au/news/2018-12-19/fact-check-is-the-island-nation-tuvalu-growing/10627318 They plan to sue the world for an event that's not even real - all this is big money - Always follow the money and the ambulance chasers grab who at most of it.

We are depriving these children their very future.. 😢
Tuvalu has been studies along with other coral atols since before Darwin, and it was cleaar at that time that such atolls GROW with sea level rise.
its actually being dissolved, not sinking
Human history has lots of stories like this
I really want to visit Tuvalu before it goes under
Meanwhile Talor Swift and her 13 minutes-plane:
Keep teaching the kids English, they are going to need that language to live in Australia.
I hope the country will provide great barrier fence around the island I want to live there.
Tell them Canada will welcome you all.
These are tropical people who live in a perfect 26 to 32 degree climate year round, sending them to Canada would be torture I'd imagine
We cant just take them in as canadian, their culture is too different.
Mainly caused by human activities , such as existing.
ouch
Cmon its an island...hope those people go to safer places. Imagine a small place like that paying for a ministry of climate change.
What if the US collapsed? You'd feel the exact same patriotism these people are feeling. The island is all these people have known in their entire lives, but now it's disappearing.
is inevitable, Pangea was a thing until the earthquakes
This is sad. Just wondering if China and Dubai can make their own artificial island, cant they make their entire island a little bit higher? or perhaps make an artificial mountain?
Send boulders lol
"Keeping all that's special about their island culture"?
What if the same was said about Britain. I can only imagine the negative superlatives that would be thrown around by the likes of C4.
Great trolling. Nobody will guess your motive.
@@emm_arr trolling? Facts.
Wyte people can't be proud of their culture. Come on, don't you know the rules.
@@JD83000 Invented facts are the bestest facts ever.
Great trolling. Nobody will guess your motive.
Thanks to the effects of climate change, there will soon be even more of these pesky immigrants for people like you to complain about.
New Zealand is usually the next stop for Polynesians
Im from the Philippines, I saw how the sea has eaten one street we used to call "calle Rizal". Global Warming is real!
At the current rate, the last sand dune will be underwater in only 1172 years. Only the island is made up of shifting sands that rise and fall and relocate so such calculations are meaningless. Typhoons are no more a problem now than they ever were. Lack of fresh water is their problem.
Hopefully the sea will stop rising, so people want have to move from their home, in that country.
If I was a billionaire who owned a corporation I'd be pushing my prices up so I could make enough profit to complete my bunker before the inevitable...
And long before that the billionaires will have sunk with the people they profited from.
@@Cruner62 Check the recent increase in billionaire bunkers with seed vaults and fully recyclable air and water and private armies. It's all the rage among the idol wealthy...
That's what they are doing, and they are dumb for it.
Morally bankrupt
Horrible, very saddest, i don't know how to express my feelings for them🥺 this is very saddest ever story after i Know Tuvalu country exist...
Only solution is relocation. It's almost impossible politically.
Every climate change denier should be made to sit in front of this video.
They will still deny it
I’m sitting here watching, I don’t see anything besides a bunch of rich fools playing on the emotions of little poor people. They want more money and power.
@@droppydog98 That's exactly what's happening. The governments of places mass producing climate change, the rich fools, are making these children lose their homes. Glad we're on the same page
This aged very badly. Just today I saw on New York Post that the island's bigger than before. Go figure 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If it was ukrain eaurope and usa would be donating billion.
That's what you were testing in Luton!
Just move from this island... The island will gone soon...
A floating city would be better. And they could be the first to do it.
Can we stop blaming man made climate change for this? This is the inevitability of climate change making marks. Our planet isn't constant.
It happens, but not this quickly
Why are relying on “Other People” to change the climate.? It’s a natural thing that’s going to happen.
Relocation is necessary for them, the island will soon be under water, & time is an illusion, it’s best to leave while it’s still on land.
It is not natural the climate should be cooling but we spew a couple billion tons of co2 into the atmosphere every day
Common sense. But I bet in the UK planners are still building on possible flood areas. So where does the UK build someone will ask...well,..not in the obvious places just to make money would be a start.
The Atoll is sinking, rather than the sea rising. They do it all the time.
and what about all the other low lying lands ?
The fact that these children are Noah's ark for their people....just broke me. I'm literally crying. This is horrifying.
The logical solution would be to evac the local populous to Samoa.
Much of Florida and the US east coat is similar. Mar-a-Lardo is a mere 7ft above sea level.
This is serious - for us all.
We have been building where we SHOULDN'T have built. This has been the case for centuries. Now the folly of building where we shouldn't have done is being linked to "climate change." It is convenient for those politicians who are trying to force their citizenry to do what the POLITICIAN wants.
It will be OK now Big Ron is back in charge.
I live about 50 metres above sea level... looking forward to my home becoming a beach front property in the next 20 years...
@@maigepresents5840 Coll trolling. Madnificent.
@@maigepresents5840 If it happens at all, it will NOT be quick enough to make that dream come true. In the meantime, new science will come up with new sources of energy. The danger is in discarding too quickly what we have and know works well.
Send them large rocks to build up there island? Or how about some sort of floating platform thats anchored? Or maybe they all just need to move to new zealand or somewhere uninhabited in australia, i figure if they can live on a tiny island they could make a living anywhere
Sure is alot of Americans in these comments 😐
I wish all the people of Tuvalu the best and hopefully they will never forget the land where they hailed from.
It is not submerging at all. The vast majority of those Pacific islands are growing. The rate of sea level is not growing according to the IPCC
I understand the need for their culture and own governance to be preserved. Something is better than nothing however so I am wondering. Can other countries open up an asylum program based on environmental needs? At least setting up community or family outposts in other countries could provide support for another landing spot. Also, after naturalization a voice in their new respective government?
Why doesn't Indonesia or New Guinea take them in?
they need to move to wakanda
Humans are doomed
We could still slow it down a bit. Emissions are STILL rising!
Counties all over the world esp first world countries should help and extend their arms to Tuvalo. 🌍🙏
Can someone please tell me where I can find concrete evidence that this island is sinking because of human pollution.
Itl be back in 70 or so years when things lapse around, best we house and give refuge to these people however
We need to turn back to nuclear as soon as possible

New York is sinking
Tbf it has happened for hundreds of Thousands of years and will happen for the next 100k years they’ll rise and lower
And you're willing to let innocent people die because of that?
NZ will happily take you’s in, But I hope it won’t come to it 🤞🏽
Same from Australia, although our refugee policies aren't as good
@@osheridan Australia send refugees to a Illidan prison colony for decades
Atlantis incoming
Let them eat cake
No solution since this is such a low lying narrow strip of land. I wonder what it looked like 200 yrs ago?
It was just a volcanic rock that will sink back to where it came from.

7 Well!Now, I would like tell the couples to give a religious education to their children. There are cartoons on the Bible that you can show them so that they will have a religious culture to start. And you, sisters, take care of your sons and daughters. The beginning of a good education is always strict.
There is only one problem with this narrative; the seas are not rising at Tuvalu. All recent (within the last several hundreds of years) are purely local. On the east coast of the US sea levels are rising at about 10 inches per century while at Sweden and Finland they are falling at about 15 inches per century. There is no available tool to monitor global epochal sea level change due to some presumed significant loss of glacial ice.
Here is a completely absurd statement made by NOAA:
_"The two major causes of global sea level rise are thermal expansion caused by warming of the ocean (since water expands as it warms) and increased melting of land-based ice, such as glaciers and ice sheets"_
Even if the ocean were to be warming taken as a whole (there is no evidence of this) the thermal expansion (or contraction) of water is function only of *_column height_* and as such has no possible influence over shorelines. Over the deep oceans thermal contraction and expansion occurs all the time and can be as much as several feet over a single season but nobody cares or notices it. One would think the -"scientists"- bureaucrats at NOAA would realize this.
Winter and Summer seasonal water temperature variations have no effect whatsoever at the shoreline.
In fact, Tuvalu has been growing in size not shrinking which it would do if the local sea level actually were rising there but it's not.
*_"In the four decades to 2014, Tuvalu's total land area grew by 73 hectares, or 2.9 per cent."_*
