Rising sea level puts island nations like Nauru at risk.
You might have seen photos like this quite often before the
2008 financial crisis, which substantially shifted people’s attention from
environment to a much more immediate issue, economic recovery. Also, thanks to
(?) the technological advancement, shale gas and oil have become much more
economically advantageous source of energy. At the same time, financial burden
of renewable or cleaner energy started to slow down the pace for new investment.
However, sea ice seems to have been melting at a faster pace
than it was predicted some years ago and sea level is rising accordingly, which
seems to have been affecting and threatening the residents of small islands as many
of them live by the coasts to fish, their main source of income and food.
Please read and relearn what’s going on to those islanders. Global
warming is a long term problem but there are very urgent problems need more and
closer attention.
