Agreed. Weather patterns are altered by climate change, which is actually a symptom of cycles of global weather patterns measured by the decades. However, urbanization of the developed world is affecting the climate of the whole world i.e. absorbing more heat during summer, depleting water supplies, pollution etc.

[@5766546]

Paul Kench at the University of Auckland in New Zealand and Arthur Webb at the South Pacific Applied Geoscience Commission in Fiji released a study in 2010 on the dynamic response of reef islands to sea level rise in the central Pacific. Kiribati was mentioned in the study, and Webb and Kench found that the three major urbanised islands in Kiribati - Betio, Bairiki and Nanikai - increased by 30 per cent (36 hectares), 16.3 per cent (5.8 hectares) and 12.5 per cent (0.8 hectares), respectively.

@Conan568 - Calgary's elevation is approximately 1048 m (3438 ft) above sea level downtown, so a six foot rise in ocean levels would not impact there directly,but indirectly it sure would. What about the coastal areas that are close to sea level? What about Vancouver? What about Louisiana ? What about the Lowlands?(Belgium,Luxemburg,Netherlands) ,South Carolina, the St Lawrence Lowlands? All are in peril with a rising sea level!!!!!

[@FangFiftyFive]

@DoraTheDino If you look at a map, Kiribati is near the subduction fault line between the Pacific and Australian plates. I will freely admit that geography is not my specialty, but I have enough training in it to know that is at least plausible. If that is your field, please do explain because I want to know. Besides, this "documentary" is proposing that this is caused by sea-level rise, but the amount of rise in living memory is on the order of centimetres, not metres.

[@MrAkhalesh]

Its a Gud video presenting of nature effect, obviously human can nothing doing in front of nature but he can try to safe........

[@akent46]

Although the influence of climate on human activities has declined with the growth in wealth and resources, climate still has a significant effect on disease and health. A cold wet climate confines people to close quarters, abetting contagion. In the past, a shift towards a poorer climate has led to hunger and famine, making disease more virulent. Before the industrial revolution and improved technology, a series of bad years could be devastating.

Try glacial isostatic adjustment, or even volcanic / tectonics, either could acount for the islands actually sinking, in some part's of the world seas are receding, which would mean the ground is heaving upwards, so in other's it's sinking a lot depending on where you live

We're brainwashed with religion television and a lot more. All we think about is how to earn more money in order to get more stuff... And religion is another way to make us accept things that shouldn't be through the promise of a better world in some heaven in which people who deny climate change believe. They don't believe in climate change but they believe in life after death. Humans are screwed.

@PappaKnowsBest ocean plates don't spread that fast. also continental plates are predominately gradite, making them wight on average 2.6 g/cm3, where as the ocean plate it is interacting with is balaltic, making it wight about 3.1 g/cm3. seafloor spreading is not substantial enough a reason for this.

[@frededison]

It's not just that the climate is changing, it's that it's changing at the rapid speed it is. Too fast for it to be naturally caused. As time progresses, the changes (glacier melting, etc.) are even exceeding prior global warming predictions, because of the inherent and inevitable domino effect, where one thing changed affects another thing and changes it all down the line.
