    Climate change never felt more real to my eyes until I arrived here in KIRIBATI - a small island nation in the Central Pacific Ocean.
    The rising sea levels are quickly shrinking this country, which has a peak altitude of 3 meters. It's projected to be entirely underwater by the year 2100.
    While many countries are feeling the impacts of climate change, nobody is more threatened right now than the 100,000+ residents of Kiribati.
    The question now becomes, how do we prevent the people here from becoming climate refugees? The only 4 options I can think of are the following:
    1. Build a higher sea wall (which will cost billions of USD)
    2. Buy land overseas for them to relocate (will also cost a fortune)
    3. Send more Kiribati citizens abroad (i.e. Australia and New Zealand) for jobs, and they can slowly adapt to a new life
    4. Boost tourism in Kiribati so people can see firsthand the effects of climate change, which will also pump money back into the economy
    Would love to get your thoughts on what we can do to help the wonderful people of Kiribati. I encourage you all to get creative and share your best solutions below. I will be reading and responding to as many comments as I can, and I encourage you to do the same. This is important.

    My friend, this is a good piece. Your production value is also very good. I found this while researching Kiribati. I am going down there to do a documentary on climate change out of a sense of responsibility. I have to tell you though that research has not been easy and I am wondering if you can point me to resources on where to stay down there and how to get a guide. I have tried several avenues including Kiribati tourism and some hotels but cannot get responses. I do know I will be going to Christmas Island by Fiji Air via Honolulu, but that is all I have managed to be able to research other than fishing lodges.

Also china is starting another Coal Power plant EVERY WEEK. Its literally MEANINGLESS if you buy some "CO² Neutral" marketing product or whatever you will not effect the climate. Ice ages and worm period will come and go like in the past. Humans have to adapt to what the earth dictates. And yes Climate change is real, as real as it was without humans around!

    it just breaks my heart and makes me sad all the people who live there are kind. may Allah protect them and Dubai can be a great source of help. the uae has built man made islands on the emirate of Dubai. the uae can be a great help because they can come to the country and add land back just like how they built the palm islands

      That is very true but there are all the rich bastards and just overall bitchy people in the world (at least half a million probably more) that won’t participate because they are too good to help save our world and then there are people who don’t even think our world is dying
