As the climate continues to warm, entire islands are sinking below rising waters caused from melting glaciers.

Mr. Achim Steiner - United Nations Under Secretary General & UN Environment Programme Executive Director - Indeed there are many island nations who are doomed already now, condemned if you want to disappear. Therefore there is no question that we have to act. And that is just the beginning of the visible impact of climate change. The invisible part, the bits that we have not necessarily understood that are happening around us are also on their way.

CLIMATE REFUGEES:

25 million people uprooted in 2007

President Tong of the Island Nation of Kiribati:
We have whole communities, having to be relocated, villages which have been there over a decade maybe the century and now they have to be relocated, and where theyve being living for the last few decades is no longer there. It has been eroded.

AT LEAST 18 ISLANDS SUBMERGED AROUND THE WORLD:
• Lohachara, India 10,000 residents
• Bedford, Kabasgadi and Suparibhanga islands near India 6,000 families
• Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, USA 13 islands
• Kiribati 3 atolls
• Half of Bangladeshs Bhola Island permanently flooded 500,000

Paul Tobasi Government Representative of the Carteret Islands Its not their wish to go, but because of the situation; its forcing them to move.

ISLANDS SINKING OR AT RISK FROM RISING SEA LEVELS (over 40 nations):

Tuvalu 12,000 residents with no more fresh drinking water and vegetable plots have washed away

Ghoramara near India 2/3 submerged as of 2006 with 7,000 residents already relocated

Neighboring island of Sagar 250,000 residents also threatened

Some 50 other islands jeopardized in the India-Bangladesh Sundarbans, with a population of 2 million

Kutubdia in southeastern Bangladesh lost over 200,000 residents, with remaining 150,000 likely soon to depart

Maldives 369,000 residents in the Indian Ocean, whose president wants to relocate the entire country

Marshall Islands 60,000 residents

Kiribati 107,800 residents, approximately 30 islands submerging

Tonga 116,900 residents

Vanuatu 212,000 residents, some of whom have already been evacuated and coastal villages relocated

Solomon Islands 566,800 residents

Carteret Islands in Papua New Guinea 2,500 residents whose land no longer supports agriculture

Shishmaref in Alaska, USA 600 residents

Kivalini in Alaska, USA 400 residents

Over 2,000 other islands in Indonesia

Dubai 1.2 million residents in the United Arab Emirates considered at risk

There may be more islands, either uninhabited and/or not reported, that have submerged or are sinking due to climate change.

President Tong of the Island Nation of Kiribati:
We may be at the point of no return; our small low lying island will be submerged.
Its an issue of human survival.If the world community, the different countries dont kick the Carbon habits, there will be other countries next on the line.

Land reclamation can easily save these sinking islands, except most of the nations losing their islands are too mired in poverty to afford it.

Global warming is most surely causing these islands to be submerged, no doubt about that, but what the heck does vegetarianism have to do with it? Fishing has been around since the dawn of humanity; the reason it's becoming a problem now is because of overpopulation.

And since when did vegetarianism become a religion?

[tranquilocito]

@MethidMan Animal agriculture is responsible for over 50% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

[Zoe851]

It has nothing to do with being a Veg and yes it is part of how God has planned his return from the very begining of creation. For those who read the Bible and know the times we live in these natural disasters do not bring dispair but we understand that redemption is near. We do worry about the souls that still have a chance to know Jesus and accept him as his savior before is too late. Is NOT about religion, is about SALVATION.

[tranquilocito]

You cannot talk about salvation and at the same time be a meat-eater. These things do contradict each other. It is all about compassion and love. If there is no compassion then there is no salvation. It is that simple. If you accept Jesus then you would accept plant based food. Killing is contrary to Jesus' teaching and at the end this killing (in this example: killing of marine life) could destroy our planet.

@tranquilocito Where did you get this weird idea that killing for food is contrary to the teaching of Jesus Christ?

[tranquilocito]

@mszs if you research a bit into this you will find out. There is a vid: Was Jesus Christ a Vegan? there you will find some evidence.

every dimwhit that says that global warming does not exist should watch this!!!

[AndreasAntoniusMaria]

Islands are submerging for 9000 yrs, after the last ice age. Nothing new with that. It can be true, though, that human interfearance speeds up the global warming process.

[superstrain007]

nice vid interesting :) PEACE

[JJJCHEVY]

@Fredfanish 2 reasons why you shouldn't think that way. 1:There is a vid on Youtube with David Attenborough on the subject that brings light to an independant study showing how much of global warming is human and how much isn't. 2: Its still smarter and less selfish to to something about our impact to reduce the effects than to sit idly by and watch the worlds future quality of life decline. It is proven that our CO2 emission contribute Significantly!

well it happend so many times and like in the oldest history book ever the bible(dont mean the textes 1500 years ago writen about christ) it is sad by mose the great wall of water goes around the earth taking away everything to set back to the time of creating! nature will take revenge! we humans cant do shit about it! the best thing is to be prepared!
