Their hard work isn't enough "to keep their ancestral home". Scientists and experts know this. They know this. It's why the Kiribati gov't bought land in Fiji, to relocate their population when their land is destroyed by mostly American behaviors. The facts show this. Behavior by so many "god fearing" Americans has changed our planet's atmospheric balance, which continues to cause now VISIBLE global warming (this causes both hot-spots and cold-spots due to vortex effects) and measurable sea-level rise. It's still preventable, IF people change.

There's no risk, as the good news is that AGW climate change is a complete scam and their data is cooked. The "scientist" clowns behind AGW climate change theory have a 100% failure rate in predicting every catastrophic event to date. These morons were predicting that the Maldives would be underwater by the year 2000. They're just liars and theives looking to extract more money from people by way of fear and alarmism. This island will be just fine, so cheer up. It's the lying globalist politicians who are driving this undue fear that we need to do something about.

It’s not just climate that’s a problem for Kiribati. Those islands are atolls. The islands are extinct volcanoes. At one time millions of years ago Kiribati was probably much like the Hawaiian Islands are today. Over time the volcanoes become extinct, and then erosion takes over. Eventually the island ends up being reclaimed by the sea once again through erosion and subsidence. Atolls represent a volcanic island in the last stages of its life before sinking back into the sea.

So be it, and you may rest assured that new volcanoes will rise from the bottom of the ocean. As their erosion is bound to gift this world a new generation of tens of thousands of Atolls, we should be worried about the present, not the remote future.

I mean, I think it's like having a hometown and being sad when you're hometown expands too much and just becomes part of Los Angeles, and then you kind of just have to get over it because even if it still was the same size it wouldn't be the place you grew up I guess. can't take anyone there and have them experience what you experienced with it even if it was the same size. and I think they amplify that feeling because they're on an island. so it feels like sad that they're losing this place in such a permanent way, but in the end the place doesn't matter and the dad even says it. he said your culture goes with you when you move or whatever and I kind of wonder what the translation was exactly because he might be saying we're going to bring Polynesian/micronesia culture to the places that we move to. but obviously he's aware that that culture already has been exported and everyone is kind of aware of it. so I think he's saying what I also think which is that you are literally your culture so anywhere you are is a part of your culture. the exact place that you came from nobody's going to ever experience it the way that you did but they can experience spending time with you and that's how you move your culture around.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 ✝🌅

Coming from the Hawaiian islands and studying Geology in the Pacific , I have seen what looks like the rise of the seas changing. The truth is we are on one of the largest Crustal Plate, called the "Pacific Plate", while most islands And continents are on Tectonic Plates, Hawaii is in the middle of a crustal plate which sits on a hot spot. The continental drift is moving this plate, which are below the ocean surface. If you look at Hawaii as a whole, we have a total of eight major islands, then many small islands , atolls, and reefs spanning over a thousand miles. Over time our islands have moved. Our islands formed and changed over time. I have experienced the shift of each island. Big Island is still growing and active, producing another island next to it because the island is on a hot spot on the Pacific plate. The landscape is long and slopey. Little to none beaches, with lava landscape. On the other major island to the left, which is Kauai the mountains have eroded and have a lot of white sandy beaches. The next island Oahu where I am born and raised , is the same. We have maps and photos of what our islands looked like before. I remember seeing beaches , but they are now under water. We have many sandbars , while other sandbars I used to see as a kid are not visible . Volcanic activity produce Earth quakes which help move the plate, with that it has moved our islands to left of the pacific, slightly up. All the smaller islands , atolls and reefs were much bigger before but sank over time as it moved deeper and farther from the hot spot. You will see this pattern happen for all the other islands in the Pacific, such as Kiribati which is below Hawaii and is also part of this Pacific crustal plate. Hope this all makes sense now. It is sad that it is happening, but those who are from the islands have to either adapt or find other larger islands to live on. Aloha

In the early 1950's the USGS went to the Marshall Islands before the US Gov blew the crap out of the atolls and left toxic waste from atomic tests. Core samples showed that the atolls coral grows upward as they sink with the plate movement. A suggestion put forward by Darwin about 150 years previously. There have been actual gains of land area over the last 30 years. Yes, some was lost also in areas. This planet is a dynamic system, not static that the climate change idiots want you to think.

And yes, we are just fleas on its surface. but when shit goes down, which fleas will suffer and die. I am sure you will suddenly see that you dont want to be a flea and that your including you in the "we" was just semantics. You for a starts dont have a German guy talking about your people as diligent workers ("better than the Phillipinos"), you dont have to become dependent on the goodwill of some Europeans who are comfortable becasue they wont be loosing their homes this fast. Sorry, but much in this documentary is just distorted and partly wrong... I wish power to Kiribati for continuing the fight and finding their way!

The islands are actually growing, not shrinking. This is a propaganda film. Journalists and activists frequently point to short-term or local trends as proof that humans are causing harmful changes in the earth’s climate, but long-term, inclusive data often shows that these changes are well within the bounds of natural variation. Beyond coral reef islands, they have done this with diverse subjects like hurricanes, temperature changes, famines, rainfall, and ice conditions.

I really enjoyed this documentary. I have lived in Southern Louisiana most of my live and during heavy storms and hurricanes my home always flooded. And in 2005 my home was taken by the Stormsurge that was with the hurricane. The marsh of the Gulf Coast has all but been decimated but the repeatative stormsurges. The marsh was what protected our southern coast and limited the damage to towns/homes. Grand Isle, Louisiana was just about wiped into the GuIf this year by the combination of damaging high winds, high tide, high rain total, and a storm surge that almost covered the entire island.. all this was in one hurricane. I really feel empathy for Kiribati. I love the culture and the love of community they show. Their ability to work together and involve the youth to become active in the fight for survival of land and culture; these actions will be what makes them successful. I pray that they have more success with planting the Musgrove trees, job trainings and trade, and I pray that they are able to find assistance with building stronger, better and higher sea walls; and have success with reclaiming their home from the sea. Homes raised up on stilts to protect families from water is a great idea. It works well for our low lying towns and for those homes that are now outside of any seawall (such as our marsh) But the downside is that Kiribati trees are needed for protection and sugar production. It would be very harmful to cut a bunch of trees at once to rebuild. Supply would have to be brought in or reuse the wood by rebuilding the same house (deconstruct then reconstruct on higher platform) only replacing damaged pieces or adding what is needed, such as the stilts. An out of the box idea is instead of cutting trees to provide stilts, why not move the houses into the trees. By doing that, where possible, the trees are still alive, strong and providing stability and protection. The new land in Fiji should start being prepared with solar panels,, clean water sources and sanitation facilities. So that it's ready for the influx of people when the time happens. I pray for everyone effected. It was hard for me and my family to be evacuated to the other side of the country and start over. Kiribati has a long fight ahead but they also have determination across generations to be successful. Good Luck and God Bless. Don't give up the fight. You will have a family here that has you in our prayers.🙏🤗🇺🇲

I am humbled that the people with so little materialistic things can still smile and be happy with what they do have, compared to people in more prosperous parts of the world.

You can't "slow" climate change, it's driven by the planet and it's relationship to the sun. Climate change, while real, is NOT being caused by people or countries. Climate is driven by planetary cycles of orbit and axial tilt/precession. We know for a fact that the Earth has been a frozen snow ball most of it's existence and will continue to be. The Earth has a very unique orbit that takes it (borderline) out of the "goldilocks" zone for about 100,000yrs. In between these orbital periods the Earth's orbit lowers and becomes more direct with the sun's rays causing interglacial periods, like the one we live in. In fact had it not been for the Younger Dryas event roughly 12,000yrs ago the Earth would already be approx 3 degrees warmer on avg. These periods last for about 100,000yrs and are a gradual warming that increases at a higher rate the further the Earth goes into the cycle. The warming then slows the oceans currents that circulate warm/cool water and air. This along with the elongation and rise of Earths orbit cause the Earth to freeze almost within hours where it then remains frozen for roughly 100k yrs. This is a cycle that has existed longer than Humans and will continue to exist in perpetuity unless something destroys or alters our solar system or galaxy. The reason climate change being a human factor is being driven down your throat is simple.....redistribution of money/power.

And I would hate to see their culture fade away due to the fact they are somewhere they didn’t choose to be. And say what you want, but the Pacific will always be home.

Kiribati is made up of 33 islands/atolls and 12 are uninhabited. It happens. With or without modern technology, climate and sea levels have always been changing and have made many previously inhabited island uninhabitable. They will simply have to find somewhere else to live unless you're saying they're going to kill themselves or something. Ancient Polynesians left islands all the time to go to other ones. This is one atoll that will join the list of uninhabitable atolls. That's nature and it's no one else's fault. There will also be atolls/islands that crop up/become habitable again too. Same can be said for people who live in Venice, Miami, New Orleans, etc. Eventually there will be a day those places are uninhabitable. People used to live in Pompeii, too. You just move or die. That's life.

I hear what you are saying. At least as much as possible from an outsider's perspective, I understand how your sense of identity, your way of life, and your cultural pride connect you to your island home. And although empathy for any among us is sufficient cause for change; for our transition into a species that lives harmoniously with its environment, an even deeper cause is that what affects a part of us ultimately affects the whole of us. I wish to add however, that I believe you cannot possibly lose who you are by losing your land, or by losing any material thing, or by a change in your perceived sense of identity. You are greater than that by unfathomable orders of magnitude. That is the greatness in you. That is the greatness in all of us. And that is the greatness of spirit that will triumph over shortsighted human fear, greed, and perceived isolation so that we can see who we really are. We are harmony, peace, and contentment incarnate already. Only our temporal forms need time to realize it.

We got to visit the nearly open air elementary school which was at the time, partially supported by the cruise line. At that time, one employee of the cruise line lived on the island full-time. It was a happy very short visit to the island. Saw some residences and the central town area with that school. Very pretty and yes I would visit again.

Omg it was so gorgeous! I was impressed how primitive they lived ,using generators no electricity on the island. Very friendly and warm people. On our way to Napali beach ,I noticed one of the homes was right off the water. I asked permission to take their picture. Of course they said yes! I have met a gentleman on another cruise several years ago ,that was stationed there. He informed me of the country unfortunate situation. I wish them well ,hopefully they come through these difficult times.

Ya BUT it is Bull shit! The Island is sinking Not the sea is rising ! Coming from the Hawaiian islands and studying Geology in the Pacific , I have seen what looks like the rise of the seas changing. The truth is we are on one of the largest Crustal Plate, called the "Pacific Plate", while most islands And continents are on Tectonic Plates, Hawaii is in the middle of a crustal plate which sits on a hot spot. The continental drift is moving this plate, which are below the ocean surface. If you look at Hawaii as a whole, we have a total of eight major islands, then many small islands , atolls, and reefs spanning over a thousand miles. Over time our islands have moved. Our islands formed and changed over time. I have experienced the shift of each island. Big Island is still growing and active, producing another island next to it because the island is on a hot spot on the Pacific plate. The landscape is long and slopey. Little to none beaches, with lava landscape. On the other major island to the left, which is Kauai the mountains have eroded and have a lot of white sandy beaches. The next island Oahu where I am born and raised , is the same. We have maps and photos of what our islands looked like before. I remember seeing beaches , but they are now under water. We have many sandbars , while other sandbars I used to see as a kid are not visible . Volcanic activity produce Earth quakes which help move the plate, with that it has moved our islands to left of the pacific, slightly up. All the smaller islands , atolls and reefs were much bigger before but sank over time as it moved deeper and farther from the hot spot. You will see this pattern happen for all the other islands in the Pacific, such as Kiribati which is below Hawaii and is also part of this Pacific crustal plate. Hope this all makes sense now. It is sad that it is happening, but those who are from the islands have to either adapt or find other larger islands to live on. Aloha

@@carolmiller5713 Let's not get radical. We need to be rational & realistic. Global warming/climate change will not kill off all life, nor all humans. But it WILL disrupt many, will cost much money, and will kill some (up to max 10% of) people. Just as the Kiribaas have planned to relocate to Fiji (their gov't already bought land for that), many forward-thinking people are working in many ways/areas, to protect vulnerable populations. And in 30 years we'll need again more strict measures - and again another 30 years after that even more strict limits... until we eliminate most of our carbon-polluting. The core problem is, the poorest (and the most foolish) will suffer, even die. *And it's fully unfair to punish the poorest/most innocent people/nations.* We in the west need to change, and take responsibility. This requires accords -- and newer accords -- every 10 years, which each adjust targets/goals. Any "Plan for Escape" is untenable! Where will we escape to? All other planetary bodies have more severe problems than our Terrestrial global warming. Also, let's focus, and never attack our own/thinking people who are on the "correct side" (solutions-oriented side) of this global problem. We must also educate (vigorously) the deniers!!! *Things are NOT "too late".* Climate science documented many recent instances of the Earth "healing" itself, although slowly -- and yes many ppl will still suffer. But as long as we fix our Carbon-polluting behaviors within the next ~100 years, it will not go into an irreparable/catastrophic cycle. Scientists have seen that every time we've corrected our carbon-polluting behaviors (during the last 30 years), the Earth repaired parts of its atmosphere within 5-10 years (but not entirely repaired - full self-repair will require longer times). Extremist/alarmist views is the same as infighting (attacking ourselves) - which effectively attacks scientists. Top experienced climate scientists do believe we have at least 3+ decades of time, though we must do more ASAP.

We had the opportunity to visit Fanning Island back in 2006 on a chartered NCL Hawaiian cruise. A two day sail from Hawaii and back. We were told to bring items for the children as the ship only stopped once a week. Every one of the 2000 women of Olivia cruises took part in this..because it’s what we do! What a beautiful place, where culture is still proud and not influenced by today’s gadgets. We proudly have several handmade items in our home today. I hope the efforts to prolong living on their atoll is successful. Global warming is directly affecting them..sadly most people aren’t aware of the place they call home. I will never forget Kiribati, the people, their culture and the hospitality. Best wishes to you all!

After staying surf cast fishing up and down the beaches all around for a week..I had watched every day the ocean Bringing back all the sands and beaches and slowlet the sands re-buried that whole huge ship. Main beam had to be sticking up 25'. I coukdnt believe it,, that was amazing to me. So only time will tell. Remember that the ocean is a wild thing and could bring sands your way one day...God Willing!!! God bless you all!! Prayers!

Tarawa was one of the first islands that the U.S. Marine Corps "liberated" from Japanese occupation during World War II. The Battle of Tarawa took place in November 1943. High casualties on the U.S. side led to a re-thinking of how amphibious operations could be improved for following island hopping campaigns.

This problem of rising sea levels affect us all, though it's more quickly obvious in low-lying island nations like Kiribati. Don't allow yourself to think these issues affect only "somebody else" - it is a global problem, and needs to be addressed as such.

I believe that Kiribas, previously the Gilbert islands, has one allied WW2 bomber pilot born there. Kenneth Hugh Grenfell. I think he was born there while his Australian parents were there, doing missionary work. He enlisted in Sydney, in 1941, was killed in action, attacked by a German ace, 3 am, 30 March, 1943, returning from a Berlin bombing mission. Just made it over the German/Dutch border. All the Oz crew were buried in Holland. He was newly married to an English nurse. No children. All crew died. The 2 gunners fired back at the German, and brought him down. So all died. It was witnessed by a Dutch farming family. They saw the bomber was on fire, saw 6 of the 7 crew evacuate the Lancaster, but none of the parachutes opened. I believe the plane was too low, when they bailed out. The 7th lad, the wireless operator, was found under the fuselage of the plane, when it was cleared away by the Germans, about 2 weeks after the burials. Ken was identified by his watch. Ken was surprisingly small for a pilot, but had escaped one very dicey situation and was seen as a very good pilot.

But I am so very proud of you those families, School children and people in general are doing something about saving their island in some ways, for example, the planting of Mangrove trees and the families who are doing their best to build walls around their homes to prevent the seawater from destroying their family homes. The most important and interesting thing about this documentary is that they the people of that island knows that their future is uncertain and yet they’re not giving up hope and leaving for another country but are dead serious to stay and work together to change for the better outcome of their island paradise. Thank you all beautifully people of Tarawa Island to tell your story and to witness the horror of the climate change is doing to your country as a whole.

They appear and are often washed away by erosion and natural breakdown of the shoreline! It’s a part of geology/geography and the cycles of the earth.

Check out Tony Heller's youtube videos on debunking the AGW climate change narrative. He does an excellent job, showing old newspaper clippings and historical data to prove that the modern AGW agenda is based on fear-mongering and driven entirely by falsified predictions and cooked data. Best to have all sides of the story, to make 100% sure your help and attention is not going to liars and thieves, right?

@@noahhyde8769 - I grew up on an atomic atoll at a time when the scare was the planet heading toward an ice age. There were changes in the sea and weather back then. We had to take measures to protect against the seemingly frequent hurricanes. But I now know it's just the weather and it's nature and that several centuries ago there were 4 times the C02 in the atmosphere according to ice core samples. Life thrived because C02 is plant-food.

There is no way to protect the coastal lands from the raging waters, as the global changes agree speeding up... The only way to survive for these people is to build the floating islands, like floating villages, or at least floating houses...

Same with the Galapagos Islands; its a cycle of islands on a sea conveyor belt. Islands are made by volcanic eruptions, then they grow food and shelter for animals to live off of, before following a type of current as the ocean waves wear it down to rocky outcroppings before disappearing. The cycle's constantly continuing!
