Honestly, thinking about the possibility of this country and it's people to not actually exist in the future because of this, makes me somehow feel.. deeply sad...

[williamueli]

the united nation has been warned by some of the leaders of the Pacific islanders. of how serious and dangerous the people of the Pacific Are witnessing everyday cause by the climate change.
and the sad thing about this is that none of this changes was cause by these small islands.
and now they're witnessing themselves being a victim of a crime they never caused or commit.

[tashasharma]

God will save you all. He loves these people as they are so heartwarming and down to earth. I am praying every day for you all when I go my altar

I hope to visit Kiribati before it disappears forever! Can't stop nature, no matter how hard we try, but each of us can do our part, no matter where we live.

God have mercy on all the I kiribati people
Hear their voice
Hear their cry
Have mercy on them

[wjumeau]

It’s a dream to think an island in the middle of the ocean is immune from the changes the earth has gone through since the Dawn of time.
Relocation is inevitable over time.
