Vanishing Islands

Relating back to the effects of climate change on developing nations, I came across this video a while ago. This 7.5 minute-long clip with the same title as this blog post provides an insight on sea level rise in these atolls consisting of the Federated States of Micronesia. We are able to put into context some of the different implications of sea level rise mentioned in my 4^th blog post.

I found it quite mind-boggling how for some nations, the consequences of sea level rise have become a vital, increasingly urgent issue to tackle. Will the inhabitants of these islands have enough time to adapt to a potentially adverse scenario? The phrase ‘climate refugees’ mentioned in the video at approximately 5:20, really got to me.
